Update on the star tile for our bathroom remodel--we decided to go with the black on white version, and use it for the shower walls. Compromise! [link]

And we've now settled on pretty much everything but the paint color, which is OK to pick last because it's easy to get it locally. I foresee the usual debate where I prefer dark, rich hues and Dylan thinks they don't belong in so small a room. Odds are pretty good we compromise on sage green and I dig in my heels for the darkest shade of it I can find.

Ooh Jesse I’ll have to look into that!!

Welp. Matilda's boyfriend broke up with her today.

The timing is not great, Matilda's ex. You are officially a shit-bag for all eternity.

She's spending the night at Emmett's and has been crying for hours.

::deep breath::

This year is challenging.

Side note: I had my three month check up today on my melanoma removal at five months and my doctor carved a variety of chunks off me such that I was bleeding into my clothes on the way home and had to make a pitstop at my skincare aesthetician (not my dermatologist) to put new bandaids on me.

I'm not having a great day. A great month. A great year. So very little greatness going on.

shakes fist in general direction of Matilda's ex

Oh, David. That is not a good day. I hope tomorrow treats you more kindly.

I hope Matilda's heart recovers from this *exceedingly* ill-timed blow. And as for the ex-bf...I hope he has the day that he deserves. Jerk.

Oh no, David. What a jerk! They'd been together for a while, right? Ouch.

It is lovely that Emmett is such a source of comfort to her.

May today treat you all more kindly.

Hil, meant to say that I’m glad you listened to your body. Adjust wherever you can, I say.

I am... actually having a challenging day with DH. Or, we are with each other, I guess. Talking past each other seems to be the order of the day. Will try more mending tonight after swim.

Yeah, R and I are continuing to ease out of the honeymoon phase and into an actual LTR and we are definitely working through some things. Were you able to reconnect at least a bit?

Fie on Matilda’s ex. Cruel and thoughtless, or just can’t handle Big Emotions, or some of both. Regardless definitely not deserving of her greatness.

My brother’s GF dumped him a few weeks ago, so a couple months after our mom died the day before his 50th, and knowing he’s been depressed. She actually, I shit you not, told him he’d be happier if he smiled more at one point. She’s a psychiatrist - they can be so bad at peopling.

I think I had more meara but I have my first PT appt this morning and don’t want to be late.

Oh, David, I’m sorry for all the suck. I do want to get that in. More later.

David, I’m sorry you had such a terrible day. Grr to Matilda’s ex.

She's a psychiatrist?! Needs her license revoked asap. Ugh.

And Matilda's ex better hope he never meets a Buffista in a dark alley.

David, wish I could wrap you both up with comfort and care. Poor Matilda. She deserves so much better, and you deserve nothing but great days from here on out.

JenP and smonster, wishing you both some ease in relationshipping.
