Argh, another migraine. I wonder if I can lay on the floor in my office without getting into trouble. Hmm. I might try. I'm tired of feeling sick.

Tonight is my last appointment with my case manager. A month ago, I would have cared and missed her but now I'm like "meh". I might miss her afterwards, but for now I feel fine about it.

I wish former T would write me back. I think she is avoiding me. I haven't emailed her very much but she has not responded in a while. I'm worried something happened to her and I'm worried she no longer cares about me. In my head she's calling me crazy psycho chick. But in reality she probably doesn't want to interfere with my therapy. This makes me sad that she is not there for me.

Ugh, woke up this morning with a brutal sore throat, but not a normal one. It's just on one side and hurts constantly instead of just when I swallow. Looked in the mirror and my tonsil on that side looks really swollen. I had told my sister yesterday that I had a terrible taste in my mouth. She suggested that maybe I have tonsil stones. I said I didn't think so because my throat looked and felt fine at the time, I just had a bad taste in my mouth. But it seems like she hit the nail on the head because I poked my tonsil with a q-tip this morning and a big old white lump revealed itself. Yikes, no wonder that area hurts!

Got on for teletherapy but the therapist asked if I didn't want to talk today since I sounded awful. I took her up on that because it hurts to talk. Got an appointment with student health at 2pm.

Feel better soon Susannah!

Our new TV was delivered today (after the other one crapped out). H is giddy.

eta: he actually cleaned 2 rooms of the house this morning while waiting for it to get here. If I'd known buying a bigger tv was all it took to get him to do something around here i'd have agreed to buy a new one a long time ago. and not waited.

SlumberKitty · Jun 02, 2020 at 03:44 PM

I feel "meh" today. I woke up at 3 AM so that might have something to do with it. Work is slow. My coworker in NY isn't in today. I'm bored. I still have a little less than 2 hours to go. But on the bright side, I just got a Dr Pepper. I ordered some vintage Wizard of Oz Postcards for my Mom---she collects them. It will either be part of birthday or part of Christmas present. And I just had chocolate chip cookies. Guess I shouldn't complain. Meh. Meh. Meh. I feel Meh though. UGH.

I was talking about school with my therapist, and instead of him being empathetic and understanding, he started to ask me questions about the paper I’m writing. Once I realized what was going on, I asked him, “are you trying to help me with my homework?”
“I guess I am.”

So the kids have not been taken from your sister's custody? I thought you had posted something about a hearing in court yesterday? Might have misunderstood. If this isn't sustainable, what are the options for the care of those children? It doesn't sound like you feel equipped to continue doing this.

I was wondering, too. It seems this can't be the long-term solution.

No truth to the rumor that this is me!

Not going to lie, I’d probably steal a cheesecake from the Cheesecake Factory if given the chance

Court was canceled and moved to today. The court ruled for them to be taken away. I had to watch my sister put the girls in the car and say goodbye. My heart is breaking. I stayed with my sister for another hour, but she wanted me to go. I cried the whole way home. My family expects me to be the strong one. I'm not strong. I just know how to hold back crying until it's safe to.

She might still need me to supervise her visitations and when she's with the baby. I'm hoping my mom starts helping out some.

NP_Complete · Jun 02, 2020 at 07:58 PM

I feel like I can't watch any more videos of police officers using violence against protesters. what the hell is going on? How is all this going to end? Are we going to end up living under martial law and the problem of systemic racism is just going to continue?

No wonder no birds drink out of the bird bath

Hugs, I'm sorry... It's good she'll still get visitation and that maybe you'll be able to be there for it. Is she getting any sort of psychological help?

She just got back on an antidepressant and they're trying to get her a therapist.

The same cat drinking out of the bird bath knocked the keys to the back door off the hook. And people are worried by robots there are 3 sets of keys on different hooks he identified the back door key because he wanted to go out last night.
