Wow, Tetra. I assume your mother loves you, but does she like you at all?

Passive aggressive twists of the knife about where you are in life... pretty cruel.

How long does she get to grind this axe? How long will you let her?

I'm sorry you spent your day like that, and I'm offering you a big hug.

I also apologize for speaking sharply of your mother, family is a delicate subject and I don't know all the nuances.

I don't like to see anyone get bullied, though.

xoxo

I try to ignore much of what she says. Getting stressed does me no good at all.
I was very close to getting that last job. They told me I was their second choice. If only I had spoken up a little more.
I have another interview next Tuesday so fingers crossed I'll be out of here soon.

To be fair I don’t think my uncle knows I'm a recovering alcoholic. And maybe he thinks I'm still working. I don't know.
I don't tell my extended family much about my life.

OK. I am off out. Feeling strong, not going to drink. First actual night out since I first started trying to stop on Dec 10th. Had my 2 slip ups, but they were a day or 2 each, and not happening again on day 14!

I will touch base tomorrow, have a good night all

I liked it, PK.

I noticed there's a blue 'potamus on my petroleum jelly jar. I use it on my lip that's numb to avoid being chapped.

I didn't go to the David Bowie thing. Decided crowds are not on my menu tonight. I might need to help a friend get her things from her exes place though. Be there for moral support.

I went to my local Mexican joint. Tacos were good. I missed Mr M very much. I feel constantly like I've been punched in the gut. I guess this is a good thing?

It's taking some willpower to not just text him that I miss him and to come right over here now.

I'm also afraid of getting rejected.
I also should just keep my word. To myself.

Today, I've watched Moomins and Mr. Rogers on ipad. It really helped to cheer me.
