Aww, Grace. Such a big transition for her.
I've seen that, though, women continually complaining about their significant other.
I see this so much with men and women. Good grief, if the mate is such a loser why do you stay? Then again, more often these same people complain about their jobs, the restaurant, and every thing else. Some people just wanna bitch.
In Laura land, there is a spectacular sunset out the window and I am too lazy to walk outside and enjoy it.
Some people just wanna bitch.
And some people dwell in that place of external locus of control, which prompts the complaining, maybe. I don't complain about the things I can fix. The more I feel I can fix the less I complain? Maybe?
WRT Juliebird's intern - knowing you were gonna meet him, maybe she (even subconsciously) wanted to set a low bar rather than build him up too much.
Dear self - no, you can't clamp the just-out-of-the-oven end of the meat thermometer between your teeth just for a second while you unplug the other end. Bad idea.
Oh -t, ouch! That sounds painful.
Brr. I've just had to put socks on. I wasn't expecting to do that until late September.
Oh poor Grace, what a scare for everyone! I hope the panic is gone.
When I think about it, I would say the majority of the people I interact with don't do the complain about their mates thing. Oh sure a bit of frustration comes out now and then, but not most of the time.
Yeowch, -t. That's not a good idea.
I know people who do the complain-about-the-spouse thing, and I've never really understood it, not on a daily, "could be talking about the weather" level. I bitch about S. sometimes -- and he certainly does about me -- but that's with close friends , not the general public. I can't imagine doing that.
Aw, poor Grace! Kat, does this mean you at least get to go home?
Jenny, my yoga teacher, said something to me about relationships that made me laugh. She basically said that you don't get a dog and then complain it's not a cat. I think of that whenever I want to complain.
Jesse, basically yes. In the PICU, Grace likes for us to stay until she falls asleep and then we can leave and come back the next day.
They also talked about how when things hurt she has to say it hurts as opposed to panicking. I don't know whether or not she heard it and believed it, but we'll see.
She's having to learn whole new ways of interacting with the world. How overwhelming.
