I am going to take some after pictures tonight, if I can remember. Otherwise I will do it tomorrow. All the things are done. ALL THE THINGS. As of this morning. Well, except I am going to refinish the coffee table I found. It was only $7, I figured for that price it was worth a little work. And Tuesday I will have TV.
Also, my dad and his girlfriend were in town this weekend. His girlfriend is my mom's former best friend, and my mom does not know they are dating.
Also also, my mom was supposed to come out here tomorrow with a friend of hers to go skiing, then she emailed me to "let me know" that she wasn't bringing her friend, and was instead going to stay at our house Tuesday through Saturday. Shockingly, I was able to tell her that wasn't OK, and we are now scheduled to meet in Boise on Friday for a couple of days. Don't worry, I will be back in time for the Packers game. So this means I get a couple-day reprieve between parental visits, which is...awesome. And I kind of stood up for myself with my mom. It almost made me vomit to tell her that it was not OK for her to invite herself to stay at my house for a week, but I DID IT GODDAMN IT.
I think I was only able to do it because I am so frazzled and on edge that I honestly could not handle the thought of her being in my home right now. Plus I am nursing a hangover on two hours' sleep. It added a sense of urgency.
Anyway, sorry for the boring post, but I PROMISE YOU WILL HAVE PICTURES SOON! AND MAYBE GRAPHS! LOOK, I WILL SPICE THIS UP RIGHT NOW WITH AN IMPROMPTU POEM!
The days are colliding and smearing
And so far the things that we're fearing
Have all come to pass,
Like ice in a glass,
Cold, smoking, and burned.
Hm. That was kind of depressing. Sorry.
Wooo Lac! Layin' down the LAW! *has a proud*
ReplyDeleteGood for you that you were able to stand up for yourself and protect yourself from something more than you could handle. It is as though you had a glimmer of your own self-worth.
ReplyDeleteI'm going to need to see these graphs, including the ones illustrating your velociraptor escape plans (hint: raptors love to kick down doors and bring people sweet Jurassic justice). If you need any consulting, I'm here for you!
ReplyDeleteKhougs, just admit you want detailed floor plans for kidnapping purposes. Honesty is the best policy.
ReplyDeleteLac, way to go with actually setting some boundaries and meeting your own needs for once. One step at a time and you'll eventually get to where you need to be. ♥
Lac I am SOOOOO proud of you for setting boundaries like that! You are awesome!
ReplyDeleteI am also SUPREMELY PROUD OF YOU.
