People being late for appointments but not calling or texting ahead to let us know.

I had to deal with something that might be the reverse of this last week. I had an appointment, and I try as hard as I can to be at least 10 minutes early for all of my appointments. I arrive at the office, walk up to the receptionist, and explain why I’m there, and the receptionist might as well have jumped out the window. She was incredibly rude and acted like I derailed her entire day by not being exactly on time. It was like she wasn’t prepared to have people sitting in the lobby waiting for appointments and anyone doing so was a personal attack.

My father lived in Rome for about eight months once, but he’ll complain at restaurants if the pasta is not overcooked.

We got word that kiddo’s parents appeal was denied. I am happy but also… so freaking sad. And mad? Like, how the hell can her parents not move mountains to get this amazing little girl (and her equally amazing siblings) back? She is my whole world right now. I love her beyond words. I can not wait to have her open to adopt so she know she will have a stable home for absolutely forever. I don’t care we still have times where she hits and kicks me. That is trauma and why we have family and individual therapy.

I also found out I owe my sister-in-law. Husband comes from a dysfunctional family. His father was a casualty of the opioid epidemic, and they went through a ton because of it. He never believed he could be a father which led to his reluctance to start this process. She sat him down and said that he could have me and get on the boat of fostering, or I would find some other way without him. He got on board and now he and kiddo have the best bond. She adores him and they giggle and play.

So peeve, that I’m still mad at parents, but also joy because I get to be in this girl’s life.

Hot showers in cold winter mornings. When you have the hot water running but your hands are so cold it feels scolding, but getting in the water feels cold everywhere else.

@Wuff A. Men. The constant battle between “I don’t want to get in the shower, it’s cold” followed by “I don’t want to get out of the shower, it’s cold.”

a year after an extremely rough breakup with a narcissist who constantly verbally abused me, gaslit me, and was starting into physical abuse when I pulled the plug and I am still getting massively triggered sometimes when a stray thought about the way she treated me hits. I get so worked up and angry about it and it is so frustrating because it just feels like there will never be any recompense for what she did.

she lied to our mutual friends about everything, treated my son like shit, stole from me, not only money and things but something I can never replace (an album of pictures I took and developed in high school, with all the negatives). while I lost everything after giving so much to her and that relationship, she went on to marry one of our friends within the year and just moved on into his life like nothing happened.

I get that that won’t last, someone that destructive and selfish eventually will burn those bridges and have to move on to the next mark, and the people who I thought were my friends who rejected me will eventually realize who and what she is. but that doesn’t make it feel any better, it really just hurts worse, because her damage will continue to be done and what I’ve lost I can’t get back.

I’m in therapy and trying to work through it, but it just fuckin sucks.

This is so tiny and insignificant and textbook first world but I have no one else who would understand to share it with.

I can’t watch House of the Dragon because I can’t stand seeing dragons get hurt.

I can actually understand that. Mythical critters shouldn’t be treated cruelly any more than actual critters, There needs to be more ‘shoo’ options in video games for that kind of thing.

I swear to god I am so sick of living with people who want me to cook but won’t tidy up after themselves or leave the damn kitchen. I love to cook, but I don’t want to do an hour of cleaning before I can start cooking. I love to cook, but if I have to negotiate to get to the sink, the stove, the counter, the drawers, why the fuck are you even in here and why does asking you to find something else to do result into you being back in here one minute later? Fuck it, I’m going out.
