I'll try not to be too grumpy in my replies. Yep, it's one of those mornings. I woke up late, very late, had to rush through everything. Hit the closet and nothing was suitable. No matter what I tried it wasn't a match or fit for whatever the heck my head wanted. I ended up with a black top and jeans. Suits my mood, I suppose, all dingy and dark. I feel like curling up but I don't think that'd go over well at work.
Stephanie, I know you can't go over the top, there's nowhere to go from the top of the fridge.
I want to thank everyone on their compliments about my profile pic. I am not sure how long I can leave it up. While I agree that it's one of the better pictures of me, I don't think I can handle that guy staring at me every time I post even with a smile on his face.
JUDI!! Sorry, I missed mentioning you earlier. Welcome to the abyss, I hope I don't drag you down. There's a whole bunch of 'don't do it like I did' in my thread. Thank you for the compliment (I'm still trying to learn how to accept compliments, I'm a WiP)
Liz, as always, a voice of straight talk. Thank you for that. I hope I don't chase you away. Yes, Lori is amazing. I feel bad that she's set aside some of her own misgivings to help me becomes whomever I need to be. I do believe I would have dug a deep hole and jumped in without her here beside me to hold my belt.
With that said, let me recount something that happened yesterday evening that should make me feel good today still ... but doesn't.
Lori had to work late, short lunch so no time to come home. I packed up a few edibles and met her at work. I was early (still wearing my work outfit) so I had to wait. There was a bench seat conveniently across from where she was so I plopped down and proceeded to wait. She noticed me after a bit, I think her smile got bigger when she saw me. Hard to tell, she smiles all the time.
After she finished up and clocked out for lunch, she told me that one of the gals asked "Who is the woman waiting for you?" O.O Her answer was, "That's my husband" exacting a silent response. Maybe someday the response will be, "That's Faith" and leave it at that. spouse/so/partner don't sound right for me. Husband is fine, just sometimes let it slide with less info, you know?
I wasn't going to log in today. I didn't want to leave my thread hanging with unacknowledged compliments so here I am.
