It’s punching up.

On off days, and evenings I like to spend time mostly at home. Reading, catching up on tv, video games. I do like the library.

Personally I don’t force myself. When I go to the library I walk out with a stack of books. I don’t always get through all of them, because if the content doesn’t draw me in (characters, writing, whatever) I put it down and try a different one.

Become a paid online troll I guess. I have a background in manipulation. And if they get so far as my field, we are truly in the bad place.

So…maybe a little. Like, if they listen to octanecore or country, I will not have a good time with them controlling the car stereo. Same with tv. Tbh I do think similar tastes are somewhat important?

I have a work email, an email with my name for only personal/professional contacts outside work, a sign-up email, and my email from 2005 for some reason that I use for dominos.

7-8 unless perimenopause is acting out

Dilated all the way to have baby. My body decided that wasn’t for us, so I got the c-section too! I’ve broken bones and it feels like nothing compared to that.

10 or so I use daily. 20 or so others I reference occasionally.

If this happened suddenly, I would gently monitor but not panic and jump to the worst conclusion. I have a good relationship with my kids. They have different ways of expressing feelings like this and I’m familiar with them because I know them as the people they are. I’m protective of them, of course, but I also try to give them some room.

Every single time I sat down from doing a chore someone sought my attention. I did not experience a moment of peace. So that, I reckon.

Yeah I’m a monster

Walkie, phone, pens, band aids, counter, whatever I found on the floor…whichever pocket has room.

I would seek a new practitioner and cite this as the reason. Given the track record of these tools, I personally question the judgement of someone using them in clinical documents and even creating “temporary” recordings. Therefore, I would question their judgement and their ability to manage their caseloads if they feel this is needed. I can see this being disappointing after going through all the paperwork. Sorry you’re having to deal with that.

If this is how my children felt, I would consider myself a failure. It’s not acceptable in a healthy relationship that the other party feel fear. For children, parents have even more of an obligation of trust and security. Anything less is neglectful and perhaps even abusive.

Still dipping below freezing. I can’t wait to see anything spring like. Bring on the insects and their mighty hordes.

I’ll join!
