Then being yelled at for it half the ride home.


^^ Is this someone you can jettison? Easily? Or are you stuck with them?



No. Aside from that I have no inclination to do so yet. It was very hurtful, which is why I posted here. At the same time, however, this isn't a common occurrence and the person has been making big breakthroughs in becoming a mentally and emotionally healthier person. I think it was a case of two steps forward, one step back. I've been there myself many times, I tend to sabotage myself compulsively when I get on the path of dealing with my demons successfully. So I don't really blame them. They did apologize, profusely, and there was visible genuine shame felt for their behavior. We talked about it, I walked them through the uglier parts of how some thoughts can trigger us into "Reaction" instead of "Response" when we feel slighted, and how to work with ourselves to move past it.
We'll see if they listened. If they didn't, then I'll be crossing that bridge when I get to it.

^^ This sounds - hopeful.

Wishing each of you, and both of you (two different things, really) the best of luck, and all success, going forward.

Won't be getting to see the gf after all. Oh well, I still got a few days off of work.

*raises hand*

I'm not nuts about rainy days but we need the water; the wildlife and farmers do, especially; can you wish some of yours over to us? (Oh, if that only worked)

Sending some your way. Also some hugs and kitty kisses


Thank you! We got a lovely soaking rain last night. I have a skylight and I love the sound of rain on it :-) almost as good as distant thunder, for falling asleep.

Kitty kisses right back atcha

Thanks!

My printer decided it wouldn't print in Black and White at all, and that if there weren't full cartridges in ALL slots it wouldn't print anything at all ever.

I bought new cartridges.

I did the necessary maintenance.

It now refuses to print, and won't sync up wirelessly (which is all I can do, I don't have a PC anymore, just a Chromebook and an OLD laptop).

I. am. so. MAD. right. now.
TARGET PRACTICE.

The negativity here, on WP, these days. Extremely, disheartening and disconcerting.

I hope that I'm not contributing to this emotional unpleasantness as such?

^ No. You're alright. Sorry about my comment you quoted. It was impulsive, and, the negativity I have been seeing, here, recently, is small in comparison to the love, kindness and compassion that still exists.

Onward...
