Good appt, my hbaic (3 month measure of blood sugar) is down some more, so he said keep it up and your reward is come back in six months not three.

So i leave and call another uber, this time to take me to my zipcar, and as im waiting outside, this old old lady (ie older than me) comes out, barks into a walkie-talkie, "come get me brandon!", i move over on the bench to let her sit down but no, brandon comes zooming up from the parking lot, and she says to me, "i got 22 grandkids and 23 greatgrandkids!"

And when i woke up in the wee hours (operative word being wee) this morning, i formulated the perfect riposte to her boastful declaration:

"Imma cut you, b!" :rofl:

Lol at your response. Typical Una O.

It's nice her family do keep an eye on her.

Congrats on getting through it all. Well done on lowering the blood sugar.!!!

Fin messaged me this morning which I wasn't expecting. He apologized and said that he thought he had replied to me, but hadn't. That he could do a closing session. Maybe on the 23rd,

I had an session with someone else on monday. Which was comforting and helped take the sting out of things. He said it was because we were mismatched. Our sessions had become uncontained. That it had lasted as long as it did because I went along with things when I didn't feel weekly sessions worked for me.

I also have a double intro session with Norman's T today.

Would it really have been so hard to have also sent that message last week ? Does it really take 6 days to notice me? I spent the past 4 days crying because of that last exchange. I don't want to be such an after thought.

So I don't feel like I will be taking up his offer which would also cost me £105 .

Yeah gangsta grannies! I was wondering if i was putting myself on blast like her.

Slightly different, but i really like my new gp. I think my old one never acknowledged when i lost weight or did anything good, so i never changed. I loved him but i hated seeing him, and i always felt like i was playacting in his office. With new gp - i feel real. I think it started with my gosling chiropractor. Real acceptance.

I hope one of the new t's is right for you, and i'm sorry about what happened with fin.

It was definitely a microagression, great-granny-style! She be braggin about her ovaries, aint nobody wanna hear that shyte.

Why would you announce to a perfect (emphasis on perfect of course) stranger the number of your offspring?

I did think it was pretty cool the way she summoned a car - it was very knight-rider the way the kid swerved up.

But she doesnt need to be telling crazy people all her business. Is breeding a contest? Are we frogs?

Norman's T isn't for me.

It was just 2h of questions. My father's name. My mother's name. My brother's name. My sister's name? Are my grandparents alive? My address which Rob didn't even know after 3.5 years. Energy levels between one and 10. An anxiety and depression index.

I lied on some of the questions.

Felt so checked out.

She called me "elusive and a mystery".

Told her that I wasn't going to rebook if I was being honest.

Thanked her for her time.

A accepting relationship is all you need babe.

ArtieTheSequal · May 17, 2023 at 03:17 PM

the next writing practice i'm gonna do from this new book is to pull two cards, and then have the image in each card describe the image in the other card. that sounds like fun, and safe from making me delve into crap that will give me a headache like the first one did.

Now I may be more worried about you.

It would only be a matter of hours or possibly even minutes before ex-hankster or I tried to smother the other with a pillow.
I stopped keeping track of the clients I represented who we had to find new nursing homes because they or their roomie snapped.

I was thinking a new "Odd Couple", but maybe "Murder, She Poked"? The recurring plot would be SD tries out a new tool or vehicle with hilarious disastrous results, and i fall in love with her emergency tech.

"Murder, She Poked"

Diagnosis murder would be a good name for your show. You’d just need a new **** Van dyke though.

Or My under 300Lbs life? You’d get your Dr Now and 15 mins of fame.
