    I bought concert tickets for my daughter and her boyfriend, but she is standing me up because she wanted an additional $30k

    Your daughter wanted 30k 😳

    yes, a year
    something about it is my fault she exists

    Surely this is satire - or maybe you’ve actually hired her to work for you at the family business and she’s negotiating her salary - Im sure that’s it - that’s gotta be it

    I wish... She thinks how much you spend on a person shows how much you love.
    I did type out other details but it just makes this even more satire.
    so simply put, she has been an adult for a couple years and thinks i should resume child support to her directly.

    😳

    Hugs to you. I'm sad for her that she thinks money = love.

    My niece's daughter climbed the neighbors fence and was found playing on their swing set at 7 a.m.

    Last week she put a lighter in the toaster!

    Another time she she was found in the tub with her lil sister devouring a tub of ice cream

    And we won't talk about the incident with mommy's toys

    She's so cute 😂...bc she's not mine

    I was analyzing some data about my weight gain & it’s interesting to know what was going on in my life at the time. I gained a little chunk of weight when my sister moved in with me. And then I gained a little more when I took a job in retail (so stressful). Then I gained more during lockdown (cozy at home). Then I stayed stable for a long time. And then my weight started to come down.

    I wonder if other people look at their data and know what was going on in their lives at the time

    Always! Eating is my primary emotional coping mechanism, always has been.

    Does this mean I can control it? No. Food is comforting when I'm sad or lonely. Or it's the opposite, I'll often avoid it if I'm feeling a certain way. I'm still learning to try to distinguish the difference between emotional and physical hunger. Emotional hunger often leads to guilt/shame. Physical hunger doesn't make me feel bad for eating bc it satisfies me.

    My relationship with food has haunted me since I was 13 years old. I'm sad that I still allow it to control my life, but I'm still caught up in the number. Society has taught us that the number on the scale = our self worth. Overweight - unworthy. Thin = worthy.

    How fked up is that? Never in my life have I judged a human beings worth on their weight. Why do I judge myself?

    OMG, I'm done. Sorry. This was not a therapy session 😂

    But! I've recently gone through a really difficult
    time...and I've lost 18 lbs. So, yea, I get it!

    It’s so interesting too that you (I, you, we, one) can know what’s going on and still not be able to change it.

    I’m trying to have a more realistic and detached view of the situation. Bodies change, weight fluctuates, nothing is really static. That’s mature, right?

    For myself the # does impact my health. Depression and psoriasis flair ups. But I do hate that I fixate on being my smallest version

    Yeah me too, but sometimes the solitude in nature is quite therapeutic.

    I'm tired and hungry and have this itchy spot on my arm that I think is rashy.

    Also I might have to revise the road trip to go through Ohio now. So many people to see apparently

    Painting later today. New staircase is going in tomorrow and decided this morning that painting an empty wall will be easier than painting behind an attached railing. I haven't painted anything in 8 years... I hope it's like riding a bike...

    Lately I've been thinking about starting up my own business. I'm feeling inspired.

    How exciting you should totally do that!

    So my moms bird got out today and a crow immediately swooped it away😫Second one to get out and both my dads fault. Not on purpose but it just happened and he feels horrible. We found out on the way to a bday party for my daughter’s friend. And my daughter was broken up about it and crying on the way in. They all loved the bird. Maybe this isn’t as weird as I felt like it was but this was the cake.

    No, you’re right, it’s weird. 😳
    So sorry about the bird. 💗

    I did so badly today. Didn’t eat anywhere close to enough - my appetite just isn’t there and forcing myself to eat only works to a certain extent. Trying to remind myself that one bad day isn’t the end of the world but… another part of my brain is beating myself up for self-sabotaging (again) because I’ve had more bad days than good over the past week.
