Weird Wednesday What's Up?

Hey Ladies,
Well, I went to the dentist, and because I cannot afford a special type of bridge for some missing teeth, I need to get a tooth pulled and a partial plate.  I can't afford anything right now.  I screwed up my checking account terribly while I was in Michigan, and I haven't been able to get it corrected since the beginning of April.  I'm hoping to set it in order by the beginning of June.  Problem is, this week is my sis-in-law's birthday present and dinner, and my granddaughter's fifth birthday, which means sending money for their Disney trip in December.  She has a box where she is keeping her Disney money, because she is attending a Princess Dinner, and other expenses like that. 

Well, not only did the woman I was mentoring drop me, now she blocked both of my numbers on her phone.  I have not experienced this kind of childish behavior since I taught fifth grade.  I was not only mentoring her, I drove her to all of her doctors appointments for months, till I went to Michigan for two weeks in April and one week in May.  Then, I got the shingles and she has a weak immune system.  I also drove her to church three times a week.  She is not permitted to drive by her husband because of her multiple DUIs.  She has borderline personality disorder, which means she is totally lousy at relationships and very immature.  I understand her mainly because I used to be just like her, because I have borderline personality disorder, but have been in psychotherapy and on meds for 22 years now.  I don't act like a spoiled child throwing a temper tantrum when somebody tells me something I don't want to hear.  Not only does she have mental health issues, she went on a 16 year drug binge, leaving her family for weeks, months at a time to either sleep in a crack house, or go to a halfway house.  Now that she stopped drinking, she expects her children, who are all teenagers now, and her husband, who has paid numerous fines for her, to welcome her back with open arms and be all lovey dovey.  I am mailing her a long letter, with a couple of pages of Scripture showing why I did what I did, and telling her ome of the reasons I was appearing negative in a transaction with her.  

Well, Wednesday has me getting back to an AA meeting.  I did not go to any while I was contagious, because many of the people that are in AA have compromised immune systems.  As a result of this turn of events with the woman I was mentoring, I really need a meeting.  I don't want to drink.  I just need to clear my head.

Have a blessed day.

Hugs,
Trish 

Good Morning Trish, those who come later. . .

I have had dealings with people such as you describe and I realize that some people are just not meant to be in my circle, they are simply vehicles to teach me how to do the next right thing.  Hope you enjoy your meeting, they certainly do clear away the cobwebs that form when we're not in a meeting, especially after any length of time without one. . .

Well here I sit at work, it hopefully will be a busy and productive day, after work, I am grateful that I don't have to be anywhere at all, so I can go home and hopefully it will be nice enough to take Roxie on a good long walk, after which I will watch my 40 minutes of fluff television (Young & Restless) and then who knows what before I fall into bed. . .  I am having real issues lately with sleep, waking up several times a night to pee and then not falling back into a good sleep and then waking up some mornings before 4 a.m. and not being able to go back to sleep, this is totally out of character for me and with all I do and the exercise regime I've been following for the past 6 weeks or so, I should sleep like the dead. . .  oh well, I'm surviving it, but hell I miss my sleep. . .

Wishing everyone a good day and peace and strength to get through any of the tougher situations of living.

Hi Laureen,
   I am and many of my friends are not sleeping well lately. I think I must be something in the air. Slept 3 hours again tonight. Would be cleaning but Ellen's still asleep, She doesn't leave for wor****il 9AM. Three more hours til then. I hope she gets up soon.   Mag

Good mornin' ya'll.
Tri**** does sound like your 'friend' is acting childish. Maybe in a few months (years) she will figure out what you tried to do for her. It's possible that when she gets it together she can be a mentor herself and will fully appreciate what a strain that roll can take on a person. Hang in there. I hope you get the checkbook problem figured out. I check my bank account on line every morning. I almost never write a check anymore!
Yep, it's Wednesday. The highlight of my day will be the Le Bleu water guy coming to replace our empties. Hooray!
Didn't get as much rain as predicted and that is just fine with me.
Waiting to get a definate date for my Sissy's hip replacement. I figure 2 weeks from the surgery she will be done with in home PT. I want to be able to go to IN with my DIL when my new great grandbaby is born the end of July, too.
I also want to make another trip to OR when/if the divorce is final. We're gonna have a huge party! We need to have a money tree so she can recoup some of her losses. Her 'ex' had an appointment with his lawyer yesterday. She is hoping it was to work up a proposal to send to her attorney. Maybe the log jam is breaking up!
It's gonna be a big travel year for me I guess.
Better get a move on. I have the trim to finish on an afghan then begin work on some baby sandals. Plus I expect I will have some folks for breakfast around lunchtime!
Everyone have a fantabulous day!

Hi Grammylew,
   Hope these travels will truly be celebrations. Hope this divorce is over sound.    Mag   

Good Morning Trish and all,

   Wow, Trish. You have so much going on in your life right now. Glad you will be going to a meeting. I know how much a meeting can do for me. Mine is OA but I know how much trouble alcohol is to me.

    My car is in the shop again. Making lots of noise again. When I put it in reverse it goes 10 to 15 mph without me touching the gas pedal. Not good.
   
     Saw my NP yesterday. He increased one med and stopped another. I feel like I'm in the center of a tornado. Makes me dizzy. lol

     Suppose to have a Pampered Chef show close today. Hope it's a good one. I guess I hope they are all good ones. I start my pet sitting on Friday. Looking forward to living with an African Grey Parrot for 11 days. He's very mouthy. Has a full vocabulary. There is also a dog named Rufus. I know I'll have fun.

Good afternoon Trish and everyone.....

I am just checking in quickly again today. My Fibro flare up is so painful today I can barely walk. Only 58 degrees outside, rainy and cold!!!  I can't deal with this much longer. Hope it clears up soon.

I have a wake to go to tonight for my daughter's FIL. I am having a friend drive me as it is about 45 minutes away. When I take pain meds I don't drive.

Wishing you all a happy day!!   Prayers for many in need.

Love and hugs to all....connie d

Connie, I sure hope you can get your fibro under control. I've read some about that, and it certainly makes me feel VERY sympathetic towards all of you gals that have fibro!! It sounds like it is a very painful disease that is hard to keep at bay!

Thank you Carolyn......yes it can be a very debilitating disease. I am allergic to so many medications it is harder for me to control the pain. I do the best I can. The weather changes has so much to do with the pain. I should live somewhere where it it warm and dry!

Love and hugs......connie d
