oof

home

Off...later than I thought

hi

hiiii

How are you guys?

i has food

leftovers, but still good

I put my foot in my mouth today. sigh I think

uh oh?

I has possibly annoyed my housemate. She's taking up a lot of gym stuff, which makes sense she's trying to met a goal, but yoga.. ok. Now kickboxing? I asked if she was having some kind of midlife crisis and trying to avoid her mom.

it's the avoiding her mom I both understand but at the same time if she's gonna do that I need to know because my 8 + hour watch just went to 10.

Sounds like an apt moment for an apology, Mr. D.

UGH...okay, yeah, the extended hours are an issue.

Well, my word was "If I didn't know better I'd say" but that did not cushion it seems

And I do owe her an apology but I admit it caught me flat footed.

And that's exactly how you apologize

"Sorry, it caught me flat-footed, I shouldn't have said that."

BRB...cats are reminding me they need to be fed.

"Hey" Yeah, she's here! //"I'm off to Kickboxing"/ (Me)WTF?_

uhg, yeah. that's tough.

Yeah. I suppose that is the way to do it.

Back. Yeah, weird that she didn't give you any advanced warning...but then again, she probably doesn't expect you to want to be anywhere else, which might make her think it's okay to be spontaneous.

which is inconsiderate, but understandable

It's definitely Not Okay.

Well, she sort of gave me a warning, I just failed to grasp the full scope of it

Ahhh.

Erk.

I admit i'm not always good on change. Add to that and my person to person contact in face time WITHOUT B around has been greatly reduced, and even this introvert is feeling rather isolated of late. No offense to you guys, who are the best online crew one can find.

Aww! blush

Well...much as it may be uncomfortable, you might need to establish that sometimes you need to get out of the house, too. Even if it's to take the laptop to a coffee house for a couple of hours.

Well I don't want to apologize and then lay down ultlimatiums, that's counter productive

wavers hand I'm pretty sure that's how most family negotiations work. Not an ultimatum, but a statement of need.

And I don't mean for it to be a vindictive sort of thing, but if you're saying that your human interaction quota has dropped...you may genuinely need to get out of the house.

Even for a couple of hours a week.

Yeah. I might.

agreed with rahne

rahne is wise

siiiighhh

mom is being sensitive. I am tired. I have been working very busy, very long days

I am sorry that I am not chipper on the phone

I am not being mean when I say I am tired, not "down."

Oy.

Mmph. Stressful Thursday.

So it seems

Back in a bit.

Sorry, Catnik. I know moms are tricky to navigate at times

love her, but she can be touchy. I know it is not my job to manage her emotions, but she is my mom.
