In sticking with the GwtW theme:
Frankly, my dear, I hope she's well enough to come home soon.

There are just sometimes when you're having an online conversation with a friend, you're responding to something they say, and their response to what you said makes you want to go, "Yeah, okay, Fuck You."
For instance, a recent convo with a girl I know.
"Ugh, I feel so full. I ate too much."
"What did you have?"
"Thai food."
"Oh, I like Thai food. There's a nice takeout place nearby now, I get it sometimes when I'm gaming with friends."
"No, this is real Thai food, not westernized Thai food."
Real hard not to say, "Okay, fuck you, you're in Sweden, not Thailand, so it's still gonna be somewhat westernized, you pretentious fuckstick. Secondly, you have no way of knowing how 'authentic' the place I go is, or what I get, so you're just assuming, so fuck you again. Third, even if it is, I'm in America, of course it's going to be fucking westernized, who gives a fuck?!"

Fuck, I am INCREDIBLY miserable. I don't know why.
Had friends over for dinner, made a good roast and potatoes and all the fixings and such. I was in such a bad place all day. All I wanted to do was be a complete asshole to everyone for no reason other than to drag them down into the same shitty place I was. I masked it as best I could and just passed it off as being super tired from the day before. When people were leaving, girlfriend, who's only been back for a couple of days wanted to spend some time alone together (totally fair, she's been gone for weeks) and I just asked her to leave me alone for a bit, which sparked a fight as she thought it was something she did and I was being evasive. She did nothing, as I tried to explain to her, I was just mentally exhausted from the night and wanted to spend some time by myself because I just didn't want to be around other people Didn't matter. Big fight. Felt even worse afterwards.
I know I did my relationship no favours tonight, but I just did not want to be around anyone.
SELFISH!
FUCK.

People are allowed needed time by themselves, and sometimes other people need to realize its better for all.
Some people draw energy from being around others, some people are drained by being around others. Being the significant other doesn't change this, nor does it make it the significant other's fault. This can be hard for people to learn.
Went to get up from the couch to turn off the oven. Stepped partially into my opposite pant leg, then when I corrected my balance I ended up with my big toe folded under my foot as I made the step. It made an impressive cracking sound. My parents should have named me Grace.
Of course it's the foot/ankle I keep injuring.
This ice pack hurts like a motherplucker, too.

Are we dating!?
So spent a whole weekend with the gf and her fam. It's been a rough couple weeks for her as some work-related events have caused her stress and I've been her sole supporter throughout. Got home late Sunday night and got a text not too much later that she feels like she's been dominating a lot of my time lately and that if I need the night to myself, she will stay with her parents, how I might need a tiny bit of space.
I'm sensing some projecting here as I have never made any indication that I needed space. Anyways, I took the 'space' but I'm not happy about it. It feels very 'I need some space, but I'm going to get that by telling you you need space'-ish.
Issue resolved. She was very apologetic and felt that her message had been completely mixed up. Being an introvert, she's aware of how much space she needs, but is an Adam-sponge basically and could use infinite Adam time. Given all she's going through, she felt she was monopolizing my time and I would need my own time to relax in my man cave. As an extrovert, I'm recharged my being around people so having her around is helpful, not harmful despite her situation. In the end, apologies, food, sexy times.
I can make hobo sick food for supper.
I only wished my extravert girlfriend was as accepting/understanding of my introvertedness.

Well, she is just a pillow.
You'd think me playing her side of the conversation would help, but I still get rejected

Stuffed envelopes for OVER SIX HOURS today at work. This day just needs to end.
Just thought i would update re: my daughter. She is much better, and discharged from hospital on sunday. They still dont know what was wrong, still waiting on some tests to come back. But basically it boils down to either she is getting over toxic shock syndrom caused by a strep infection that just went insane or she has something called hlh, which is worse and could get bad again. Thankfully signs are leading towards the lesser of the two.
This definitely clutches that we aren't dating.
I've been working too much. Not sleeping in between work. I haven't slept more than 2 hours at a time in nearly a week. Those times when she and I are together aren't much better. I wish it didn't take so long to book my psychologist ahead of time. I'm really out of sorts.
She's been stupid patient with me.
I love my job. But sometimes when I have a full campaign media buy done with ads and radio going out tomorrow, and I'm informed that it's 'wrong' - *SIGH*
Thankfully our local media reps are pretty flexible, but I hate making them work harder than they need to. My department is meticulous and has a well deserved reputation for doing quality work. I hate offloading 'our' mistakes on to them.

Maybe someone found him while he was out.

Hopefully something like that. Though, my phone number is on his collar, and no calls. One of the scenarios in my head is someone finds him and decides they want a cat.
We can always count on you bhamv3.
It just took me four tries to explain to a student that, if the password parameters are "8 to 14 characters", then 15 isn't going to work. They just didn't get that if there is an upper and lower limit, going past the upper limit is not accepted. I literally heard myself saying, "So 15 is more than 14, right? And the limit is 14 characters. So you understand that it's more than it will take." "Oh, you can't go past that?" "No, that's why it's a limit."
