Riding the Unexpected Dragon

Good morning. Still a little sick with coughing, but no body aches and fever, so thats a blessing. Slept fitfully, until aboit 10 am. Half the day is gone.

"Dont stop believing" song by Journey is playing as I type this out. The sky is a hazy dreamy soft creamy gray where the sun is trying to emerge, and fog is hugging the hillsides in the distance.

Recap:

Dec 24 Christmas eve. Not much news, calls to my younger brother about their plans to arrive Dec 25 and we should meet up, and we will play it "by ear" as to how Dad is doing.

Hospital, Drs and coughing all the way

Greetings lovely Steptalkers,

This season I have just not had any Christmas Spirit and havent decor-ated still. 

I caught a nasty cold Friday, my Dad went the emergency room Saturday, and now my brother decided to vacation in our lovely seaside resort exactly 15-27.

Things between us are strained. He simply has no use for me and doesnt really enjoy talking with me at all. No arguments have been had. Hes somewhat like that with my parents and it goes back a really long way. Nothing to do with me, just lots of bad things were said to my parents along the years.

Happy Thanksgiving all Steptalkers

Even if you dont celebrate in your country, I am THANKFUL for YOU.

Startng tonight, off for the next two days and then the weekend.

Got started with a work review and a raise.

Ive got TWO Thanksgiving dinners, my family and then DH's considerably larger family. No purchase (which is good because the stores are CRAZY busy) no prep, just show up and eat and hang and leave.

Then a nice little dinner with a friend.

No plans other than to sleep in, and lounge.

UnCuffed during Cuffing Season

Tis almost the season and in our parts, tis the beginning of cuffing season. Cuffing season not in relation to getting arrested, but rather that thing people do during the winter time - coupling up so you have someone to keep you warm on the darl cold nights, someone to bring to thanksgiving dinners, someone to share the holidays with and then MAYBE into the whole new years eve thing. Then after all that you might just want to be single again (lol). Explore those options once the weather brightens and lightens.

Welll, after much thought and of course reading all the comments on my last post, I spoke with my parents on the issue as well. I even spoke with the neighbor gal. She thinks its pretty shady that the kids not working and not in (free) college. Her new take on things is maybe Toxic Troll is lying about SD18s age to keep her a minor so that she can keep that section 8 nezt by the beach. 

Gathering my thoughts.

Husband and I had a BIG talk about the situation with SD18 Princess Powersulk Do Nada, Our lady of Inertia, goddess of Sloth.

Ways to Irritate and other things to do when there's other things to do.

So, in my adventures of life post graduation and 18, Princess Powersulk Do Nada, Our Lady of Inertia, goddess of Sloth hasnt done that much differently. Im just expecting things to be different, but they arent. Except child support is no longer going out 'da house.

Ive tried everything I could think of:

1. Task delegation

2. Asking arrival departure times/days

3. Printing out "how to get your id" and higlighting with added sticky notes.

4. Fake crying "this is stressing me out! I cant handle the powersulking!"

ot/goddess

I was relating my challenges to a friend of mine, who is a BM to 3 (BIG mistake HUGE), and she has sort of alternative ways of mentally dealing with stuff that is hard.

She came up with this gem:

When you think of SD18 Princess Powersulk Do Nada, try to think of her as a goddess...it might shift your attitude and thinking.

ROFFLMAO

So, I did try. All I could come up with was Princess Powersulk Do Nada, goddess of sloth, bringer of passive agressive victimhood.

Turn of the Screw aka a new day, a new week, same ole thing

A weekend feels like I lived a lifetime.

Here is where we are at today:

Friday I told husband that I dont like being the task mistress, it just never works out well for me, because years of not being supported and years of being ignored. Passive agressive ignore the texts stuff. Then I get irritated, react, she plays hurt feelings victim, husband swoops in to comfort her against the meanie, same ole play out.

Sorry no medals for you today aka riot act

So, this is what went down today:

Husband has been insisting I send a list to SD18 Powersulk Do Nada. Plus she needs to help with new puppy-who-pees-allover

I did this this morning (yep after you all told me not to and that I would be the "bad guy" again)

I get a response on this group text that "I am in so much pain, my calfs are giving out and I have a headache so I need a break today".

I just mentioned she can sit on a stool and watch puppy play outside.

Silence.
