Friends have been trying to tell me that my feelings and needs matter.
My sister has told me that I don’t need to be so accommodating.
Apparently my brother got neither memo. In the last 15 hours he’s informed me that he and his family are coming to visit and staying with me for thanksgiving.

My mom called me twice on the phone last night and this morning she said to me, “I couldn’t reach my phone to call you when I woke up.” It wasn’t intentional, but I probably subconsciously put the phone out of her reach. I mean it was dead anyway.

I thought I could run myself a bath and soak in the tub while reading my book. Unfortunately the sound of the bath water woke my mom up 😫
Her: I need help going to the bathroom
Me: I’ll be there shortly
Her: good morning
Me: it’s 11:15 at night

My therapist told me that my primary motivation for doing things shouldn't be guilt.
I am having trouble coming to grips that everyone else out there isn't motivated by the fear that they are secretly a bad person & they desperately want to be good enough & they feel guilty about not measuring up.

I have so many hard things going on in my life. One will hopefully be resolved by Saturday. The other will either be resolved by Friday or early next week. It would be great if it’s resolved by Friday so I have less hard things to worry about on Saturday.

Prayer needed…
Just when I thought life couldn’t get more stressful the one thing that could potentially break me has been added to my plate.
At least this frustrating thing which I have no control over has a timeline of resolution.
All this to say: PLEASE SEND ALL THE PRAYERS & good VIBES

I hope that when I am old and grey and my kids have to take care of me they make me homemade blueberry muffins.

I am so glad I had cold brew decaf in the fridge because after a bad doctor’s appointment and then more bad stuff tonight, if it wasn’t for the coffee I’d probably be drinking alcohol.

I toured an adult daycare for my mom earlier. I had time between that a doctor’s appointment so my plan was to go to a coffee shop. I get to the coffee shop and there are no open tables so now I’m home and comfy in bed and SUPER tempted to cancel the appointment…

If you get a message from someone saying “I don’t mean to be petty” then brace yourself for pettiness…
