I go into the kitchen this am and their are dishes in the dish rack, not dried and put away which is what I want....Rack , I use for if I am washing multiple dishes, yea, stick them in the rack, THEN dry and put away.....blender was dirty, AGAIN, so I removed it and cleaned it...I'll bring it back when roommate realizes that I want my things CLEANED after use....the way they were when i was alone....
I told her once again, I want stuff clean and put away when no longer being used...I do it...I don't ask anyone anything that I don't ask of myself
that said, I had a nice restful day, wonderful bible study on zoom and just "hung out" and rested with my doggies...Took Mr. kitty for "walkies" on his leash and he enjoyed it
weather was great after a soft rain this am, so my self care was NO work, after I re-did the kitchen dishes, appliances and counters.....after that, I did absolutely zero and no guilt...I used to think I had to be a human "doing" rather than just "being" NOW??? I'm OK with me doing nothing but resting and enjoying some videos.....
I took the call from my BFF who is home from hospital and I gave her my loving ear and told her that we would step up on the prayers, but I was able to , after prayer, detach and rest my weary body and mind....
Today was a much better than the past 2 days. What a roller coaster, but so grateful for this group & other meetings i am attending. I also have a best friend from high school who has dealt with an AH. Shes a great listening ear. No judgment, just support. She recommended Al-Anon 2 years ago, but ya know, I was deep in denial. Our weather was gorgeous today. 75 & sunny is rare for this time in MI. I went for a run this morning, played with my boy, spent time with my husband. Just lived in today. Ordered food from a local restaurant...we try to support local businesses through this pandemic. I have been doing less social media. Our state has made national news for a not so becoming reason, & theres so much negativity. Unplugging from that is necessary for my soul.
Have a great rest of the weekend to everyone!
I am up to my ears in unpackimg and moving
I went over to.the house that I have bern staying at. The roommate is in bed
He had taken his fear of getting the virus to the extreme. He is terrifued so he just goes to bed
Earlier this week he dumoed on me when I told him i was absolutely exhausted
Since the. I have been moving and working
This week I have have 32 hours. Normally I work over 60 hours
I will be unpacking and oacking for the bext week. Then I have another storafe unit to move
I got in a doctors appointment this week
Other that that it is non stop moving packing and moving. I have been 6 months in this relocation journey and it has been awful.
I went to stay with my friend as a way to try to mitigate it. Instead ge caused me tremendous problems. I would gave gern much better off st the hotel
Much much much better off .
Then he took it upon himself to.dumo on me twice
I.have not returned the favor
It will take ne a while to get what I have at his house out. I.have paid him till the middle of the month
Detaching from someone who has a terrible depression and alcoholism is rough. I cannot fix io his house for him
I have my own problems
Keeping a roof over my own head us hard eniugh
The rennovation in the building is on hold now because of the corona virus. Most people are unemployed because of the shut down.
I could not chance unemoloyment because I did not do well in 2008. Therefore I had to go out and get another job. I went on 6 interviews to.get this one
Then I got stuck with so much overtime
This past 6 minths has been nothing but a roller coaster ride.
