Back from the ER, son in tow, exhausted and with heat exhaustion on top. I REALLY want T and I know he would call me back (most likely tomorrow at this point) but I oddly don’t want to talk to T on my birthday, I don’t want T to have to call on a weekend, and I don’t want to make him feel helpless, which he really is in this situation. May just put his old voicemail messages on repeat lol...

I guess I’m going to bed. I pulled an extra long week at work and for the next 6 weeks my schedule is all over the place.

Not exactly where I hoped to start publishing (I have a bias towards print) but it’s a start.

Super cool.

Congrats!

Attempting to a free movie night in the park with the kids by myself. The movie hasn't started and I'm super stressed out. Already SH today, and having a hard time today because I usually have a session in the morning.

I don't see anything hard to understand about your statement, the response makes absolutely no sense. I often wonder if I speak unintelligible gibberish when the response doesn't fit. Sorry! I hope you get it sorted because it could be another resource for you.

Rose garden today. It was spectacular.

And I had lunch with a good friend, and spent the morning doing scholarship selection. You guys, there are some pretty amazing young folk out there with big dreams. Gives me hope for the future.

Also be prepared to throw some elbows.

And (a little late to this), but only go with someone you are okay with spending many, many years with. Like, think if there were an apocalypse and you were one of the remaining few left, would you want to spend the rest of your time on earth with this person?

I know what part of I don't like busy open spaces don't you understand. I just checked and she has liked my comment as well. Someone else suggested we go to a bowling alley/arcade mall.

I am obsessing about my exT again. I can distract myself sometimes but I had to take my D to a birthday and the 40 minute drive I couldn't stop my mind from wandering. I am starting to annoy myself with this ****.

Jun 15, 2019 at 02:57 AM

I am wondering if I should take my gp advice and try this other scheme to see a T as apparently they can get you in pretty quick and can generally match you with a T that you prefer. My gp looked a bit worried that it is six weeks til I see this new T. My mood is pretty ****** at the moment but I will wait to Monday to see.

I missed this yesterday, but if you're still looking for opinions, feel free to PM me.

Thank you. I’m looking for several opinions.

I'm just venting about my job. I work overnight shift as a hotel security guard. I am sooooo sick of dealing with obnoxious drunk guests that play loud music and carry on in their rooms until I have to confront them. It doesn't help that the hotel employee there is a useless weirdo who doesn't follow procedure and puts me in unsafe situations. I need to get some sleep before I write a diplomatic email to the Hotel GM about last night.

Oh, and the woman I work with isn't even in the running for worst employee.

I'm just tired and venting

Sorry I don't understand. Ikea is my happy place. It's where you can find me when I'm depressed out of my mind. But the nearest store is an hour away so I don't go often.

They make you walk all the way around so you'd pick up more random stuff.

They have really nice Elderflower drink, and their candles are nice..

Lemoncake · Jun 15, 2019 at 07:02 AM

Cool, I can't remember the last time I visited Ikea. All I can recall was that the one I went to was huge. What does Elderflower drink taste like?

Ooh, something new, I am curious about Elderflower drink. What's it like?

Morning coucharoonios! I'm up early to clean the house and do homework. I'll drop in off and on today for sure.

Oh and whoever was recently talking about bread pudding, you got me in the mood so I plan to make that today. Yum!

I make elderberry syrup in the winter to help ward off colds. It is quite pleasant and can also be mixed with seltzer water for a pleasant summer drink.
Today I am having cold brewed coffee that I made with unsweetened coconut water. It is better than I expected. Not too coconutty at all which was one of my concerns
