Geez, Steph. You're a tower of strength for even still talking to them.
They are 90% of the reason I'm in therapy. (The amusing part is that each one of them thinks that I'm in therapy because of the other. Dad thinks it's because Mom is a horrible overbearing harpy, and Mom thinks it's because Dad is the actual worst. And they're both right!) They are also 90% of why my brother is in therapy. My poor parents. Both kids are no longer going to put up with their shit. (Autocorrect made that "put up with their shirt," and I guess I'm not really judgmental about their clothing choices, so shut up, Autocorrect!)
Hey, just about noon! Time for more barium smoothie and then I head out the door. Wish me gallstones!
Help! I have to make a Skype call to a recruiter in a few hours. Can someone make a Skype call with me to make sure it works? I haven't used Skype in at least 11 years.
IT has taken control of my computer.
Need to share all this online dating stuff.
- one guy msgd me, I looked st his profile and saw some red flags for incompatibility, so replied generically. His next reply was "so I had not read your profile when I messaged and I think we could be friends, but probably not a couple, so hey wanna call me and gave me his #" Jesus, I thought I was passed the you're not someone I'd date, but let's fuck shit when I got out of college.
- guy 14 years younger than me msgd me. Asked how I felt about younger men. Said he spent all weekend watching tv also so I asked what shows he watched. He said 1 show and asked me what I watched. I listed out a. Inch plus what I. I fed this summer and he was like "see ya" hahaha dropped for tv shows.
- another guy talking about tv said all he watches is political talk shows, so I asked if he meant things like Face the Bation and he said no things like Bill Maher, Colbert, and some shows on Fox. I mean, Colbert is clearly late night talk show, right?
So, I googled it and it's apparently a real place, but I gotta say when I see a resume with a degree from "Life University" I roll my eyes. And google it.
I don't think people usually mean the real place when they put that, though.
Jesus, I thought I was passed the you're not someone I'd date, but let's fuck shit when I got out of college.
Yeah, no. Sorry!

I'm actually pretty happy for that to be the default and then advance to dating if we turn out to enjoy each other's company while wearing clothes.
If I have to actually have my gallbladder out, I'm seriously thinking of not telling them until it's over and I'm back home. At which point my mom will talk for 20 minutes about her stomach and my dad will say that it's STILL my heart.
This is how I approach my mom. She is not a narcissist, but she is eeyore and makes my already high anxiety about things worse. Like, she seriously asks all the same questions that my weasel brain asks when making me anxious.
I forgot that when they inject the dye for the CT scan, you can taste it. So freaky!
Now I wait for the radiologist to read it and send the results to my doctor.
I have way too many safety issues to have someone at my house or go to their house that I don't already know and would date. Hell no. And I guess other people are just more used to the idea of having to block people on their phones, they want phones #s immediately.
This thing I knew would be irritating today is being irritating.
