I called someone and invited them to tea next week. I am making friends with people who think the rat in choir who ate the bread was nasty and mean.

I cooked a real nice meal that tasted great.

I didn't work today, so I volunteered to babysit for a single mum I know, tonight.

I walked with a friend.

I got up and came to work, and I remembered to bring my lunch. *smile*

PHONED MY OLDER SISTER , SHE HAS MANY TROUBLES ,WE TALKED, IT HELPS FOR HER TO TELL ME HOW SHE FEELS, SO SORRY THINGS ARE NOT GOOD FOR HER, HAVE A WONDERFUL DAY***

I kept my boundaries intact and exercised my parental authority for the safety and well-being of my kids from people who have shown time and time again they cannot be trusted.

I refused to be bowled over by the person trying to claim he had no idea that he was making me sick with gluten by eating crackers.
I politely told him that crackers are made from wheat which has gluten.

I don't intend to put up with any excuses from him about NOT KNOWING crackers have gluten either.

I plan to politely correct him in future.

I also called other who know this person better than me to check out that he was making up excuses about the crackers.

I plan to politely stick up for myself from now on and never accept such behavior from others.

Today, I went out to find where to get a musical instrument that I loved playing in high school. We have a small orchestra at church and the leader found out that I made All State on my Bassoon during those years. He wants me to join the group.

I am finally doing things that I really love to do.

I also refused to be baited by the moron who claimed that toast points were really crackers and blamed me for not including those in the no pre-dinner "bread" request before we even planned the outing.

Now tomorrow, I just have to stay calm while he plays the victim loudly asking everyone,
"Did you know that crackers are bread?"
AND
"Do you know if gluten is in crackers?"
It is how he maintains he superior attitude of himself.
I am going to politely tell him to stop.
Ask him to explain if he'd put up with that sort of word play if a scout got burned because he was "dancing" around the fire NOT running and jumping and wrestling.
Ask him if two boys wandered off and got lost together forcing a state wide person hunt. Would he accept that they left camp without permission and that's OK because they used the "buddy system"?
Lastly, if a boy was too tired to use bear precautions with foods. Would he just shrug it off when the bear found the camp and injured people to get to the food?

He can always answer with lies. But people will know who he is for real at least.

I'm really happy for you all.

Today I went to an interview, saw a friend in the hospital and dealt with my feelings.

Good luck with the interview, Enoughalreadynow. : - )

I helped my friend try to get some transportation. She is in much worse shape than me, and I felt helpful.

I didn't beat myself up by calling myself "stupid" for messing up on something minor.

I asked my teacher a out mu choices with the "crackers aren't bread" moron.
She pointed out that he is toxic, will never get it cause he's in own world
And I have to care for me enough to let it go and stop hoping it will ever be safe.
So I took care of me today, wrote out replies and comments for nex t time and wrote it off to learning to stand up for me!

I woke. Felt a little jumpy. (I'm playing with my meds to get a better fit). I started to do something that made me jumpy. I stopped. I need more calm time before I can address the anxiety-making things.
