Those are the cutest! Ive been looking for an article of clothing that is pink and coral but having no luck. I dont really want it near my old lady face

but i love it on the field of black and white checks. And the pink binding is the perfect touch! Maybe i will look for socks.

Anyway, congratulations! And i love how the flamingos are just check-sized. Are the checks HUGE, or are the flamingoes tiny?

Ah that's true love right there.

My former boss got here to work today and she's like, you don't feel well? I'm like, no I don't feel well. I haven't felt well all day. Maybe pdoc will help tonight.

I'm not sure if you've already heard these songs:.

I just wish you were able to see someone right now. Keep talking to us though. I'm always around even if you just want to talk about cats or chocolate.

You didn't do anything wrong but even if he was irritated, which he might not be- it's still okay for him to feel that emotion, just not act it out.

It's okay to not have productive days when you're so ill.

How are you feeling now?

He apologized on Monday for not letting me apologize to him. He said that he didn't want me to feel bad about it.

I know this whole comment is confusing. On the phone call Sunday he said my email minorly irritated him. I quickly made an excuse for me writing it then said "I'm sorry I irritated you". His reply was "you didn't irritate me", at which point I reminded him that he had just told me that it irritated him. He said something about people get irritated in relationships and I again apologized for irritating him. It was kind of amusing and disappointing at the same time.

And my email was probably mildly irritating. I was feeling stressed out when I composed and sent it. But anyway, we got all the apologies and irritations ironed out.

We just had a company meeting and I think I was hallucinating. I saw a man peering through the window at us but no one else reacted so I think it was a hallucination. This sucks.

SlumberKitty · Sep 17, 2019 at 04:41 PM

Anyone ever felt super sensitive? A coworker started a question to me with "What makes you believe x,y.z?" It made me feel like what I believe is wrong even though it's right there on the check stub!! It's not a belief, it's fact.

Its my birthday today and my daughters have forgotten i think. I never used to worry about my birthday but since last year it seems like something i want to celebrate.

SlumberKitty · Sep 17, 2019 at 04:49 PM

Happy Birthday BlessedCheeseMaker!!!!

Happy Birthday BCM!!!

Today is my 7 year work anniversary. Can't believe it's been that long already.

SlumberKitty · Sep 17, 2019 at 05:19 PM

Congrats on the work anniversary Artie!!!

SlumberKitty · Sep 17, 2019 at 05:20 PM

Today is three months that we have been with the new company. We were supposed to receive written reviews today but I don't think that is happening. Most of the people leave in 11 minutes. I leave in an hour and eleven minutes but I haven't heard of anyone talking about their review or anything so I don't think we are getting them. Even though the company handbook says we are supposed to.

One of the best things I ever did for myself both as a woman and as the survivor of an abusive marriage was to quit apologizing as much as I was—which was a lot—except when I really had done something worth apologizing for.

My PDOC told me last night that he loves me. I know it is in a non-romantic way as he spent a large chunk of time talking about his wife and what he's learned through her (apparently she's a T). It felt good to hear it from him and it probably felt good for him to say it. Sometimes I think there just has to be good human connection. It did feel a little weird, I must admit, but mostly it felt lovely.

I have to teach tonight, but honestly I just feel like going home and hibernating. I know that's not a choice though. I have to teach tonight like it or not.

I do need to work on not saying "I'm sorry" for everything, but this time it was warranted, even though the irritation was minor. I do apologize especially egregiously just for having feelings.

Happy Birthday, BCM! I hope you get some cake.
