The second half of the month (I get paid twice a month) I have less money than the first half of the month. It just takes some budgeting. I do have some in savings if I need it for Esther's vet appointment but likely my Dad will put it on his card and let me pay him in installments if it is a big amount. Hopefully it's like $150 or so. That's doable with what I have left after my bills this time.

Edit: If her vet bill is like $500, I'm screwed! I'll have to ask my Dad to front it or get some money out of savings.

Thanks for that. I guess i havent lived in a large city or a place that experienced a mining boom for such a long time i forget how expensive some places are.

I still think the funniest dream i ever had was when Jerry Seinfeld turned up at my work and started killing people with jokes it ended up with us hiding in the car park behind cars while Jerry just stood there shouting jokes.

We should canvass people for Jerry dreams. Yours is so on. Cuz you know, comedians say they "killed" if they got laughs.

I just sent my ex a message just saying i want my ring back as its the only thing of my grandmothers that i have. I dint know why inam so anxious . I am shaking a bit.

Daffydungle · Apr 20, 2021, 09:53 PM

Yes i do because i am always anxious sticking up for myself with him. I have always just gone along with whatever he wanted as its sooo much easier.

Daffydungle · Apr 20, 2021, 10:00 PM

I just know if he gives it back he will try to put conditions on it. He is such a control freak.

Daffydungle · Apr 20, 2021, 10:46 PM

Thanks for letting me spew anxiety all over the couch.

Glad you made up with T.

Hugs. Yep, accurate lyric. Past few therapy sessions have been hard, focused on accepting my other selves exist. Alongside my family dynamics. The pain of it all is hard to endure.

Back from an evening session with Info and then met some colleagues for drinks *in person* for the first time in 13 1/2 months. (We’re all vaccinated, and it was outdoors.)

Info fashion report: black leggings, pink/peach heeled sandals, nice mother of pearl plaque bracelet in different pastel shades and a peach/pink sweater shirt showing Cleavage tucked into the leggings. Her hair was odd, though, kind of a rat’s nest at the back with one of those little butterfly hair clips on it, mussed like she’d been lying on it.

We got into a discussion about whether something she’d said was logical (it wasn’t) and her response was “Only if you look at it from an adult perspective is it illogical.”
