Dash kept waking me up, so I am awake but not functional. So here’s a picture of his bushed out tail.

This post is for casual conversation if you don’t feel like making a post of your own.

    So turns out, “bring a side dish” meant mother wanted me to bring a vegetable and she didn’t like the cornbread. I mean, she liked the taste of it. But it wasn’t what she wanted.

    Maybe…tell me vegetable sidedish then! Guh.

    I also was unable to keep the tiredness and pain from my face so much she commented on it which is. Bad. She’ll be upset I wasn’t able to pull it together for this event.

    Also, wear a nice shirt and pants, and your husband was wearing a hawaiian tshirt? Buh. I was panicking because I don’t have something nice anymore that fits, so I threw together three things in layers to make something at least niceish. Guh. Buh.

    I did sleep like 10 hours when I got home though. I’ve been sleeping like 3-4, waking up, doing a bit, sleeping again, over and over cause my body will not sleep through and night sweats. Guess doing social stuff is exhausting enough to sleep lots!

    The cat water bowl is clean. I’ll have leftover honey cake for breakfast in a bit.

      I can’t resist the urge to share something that has helped me so I’ll put it behind an unsolicited advice spoiler lol

      spoiler

      I know it’s not that easy but I tell myself if people can’t tell me what they want I can’t be expected to give it to them, and their disappointment is not something that should cause guilt. That’s not to say you have to say yes to every request, but it is literally impossible to say yes to a request that isn’t made.

      Could it be they are asking and you aren’t hearing? Well, then they also have a responsibility to work with you to figure out a way you can communicate rather than getting mad that their communication strategies aren’t effective with you.

      There is a real cost with trying to anticipate every hidden meaning and request from other people!
