Wanted to get a feel of things before I commented on any specifics. I have just finished it.<br /><br />I can't say I have seen anything really where you talked about her or her experiences except for her blog post about her questioning if the things you are going through are real. The same could probably be said for her as well as all of us. Unless a person truly knows us (& living with someone isn't even enough for that sometimes) then they can really only go by their own experiences & what they read. And I can relate to things both of you talk about.<br /><br />But having said that, I think she has made some assumptions based on her life experience and her preconceived ideas of what a person should do in different life events. But as I have told at least 2 of my kids - unless everything is exactly the same down the line, none of us can truly judge or know what the other person is going through. I know that I was well on my way to becoming a hermit before my kids got into school. I still don't like making phone calls for instance, but I work on the phone a lot in my job - but usually it is people calling me, which I can handle. I feel like having my children & not wanting to be the uninvolved mother that I had, forced me to move outside myself. Then I have had 3 different jobs that have helped me further. Until about a year ago, I would have never dreamed of going to a class reunion, but last September - with my son as my escort, I did just that! In high school I had been so shy I would cry just answering rollcall. And I didn't make friends. But since getting on Facebook, I have gotten brave enough to request former classmates as friends & we have gotten to know each other through fb & now I have gotten brave enough to go meet some in person! I would have never done that pre-fb. But over the years I have been told that people thought I was stuck up because of my shyness. I am sure there were other assumptions because of it. None of it is true, but it was based on others preconceived ideas of how things should be.<br /><br />Maggie is making assumptions based on how she feels a person should react or how they should handle things. I could make assumptions based on what I have read there, but since I don't know her, I won't do that - they would be based in my life experience & my feelings of right & wrong.<br /><br />To me, that is the true reason to have any bad feelings about what she has posted - the fact that she doesn't appear to be trying to understand that something that is normal for her might not be normal for you. Or something that might be hard for her, but that she can still make herself do, could be impossible for you to accomplish. Each of us are different & have different tolerance levels & different comfort levels. That doesn't make any of us right or wrong for anyone other than possibly ourselves!<br /><br />So having said all that - I wouldn't let her get to you & If I were her, I wouldn't let you get to her - each of us are different & if we were all alike, it would be a very boring world! And I hope both of you have a good weekend! I am sure going to try to myself, although my issues with my neck are making it a bit difficult since it is also causing headaches. But I know if it gets intolerable, I can go back to the chiro for an in-between adjustment or I could now run over to Wichita & have my sil do an adjustment on me. I plan though to go dress shopping for the July 31 wedding of my oldest - but know I will probably end up in the fabric store getting patterns & fabric - will just have to go to Wichita for it since we don't have very much in the way of fabric selection here in town.Cindy/KShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01902208663724302611noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27782375.post-91636384247053839622010-06-25T11:21:03.786-05:002010-06-25T11:21:03.786-05:00Thank you, Mary!Thank you, Mary!Bo...https://www.blogger.com/profile/02136803397641401011noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27782375.post-45957546019864978412010-06-25T10:51:06.604-05:002010-06-25T10:51:06.604-05:00I am glad to hear that your therapists are prepari...I am glad to hear that your therapists are preparing you for your sister's gala because that will be too good to miss.

I have had a few issues with connecting to the internet & was extremely tired yesterday, so am thinking you must have posted this after I left work.<br /><br />It is natural to feel lonely at times like this - we let people into our lives, our personal space & when they are gone, we feel lost without them. And like someone else said, you also feel sad that his leaving isn't in a joyful I found a job way, but instead is in a beaten down way. It can't stay low forever, but there are no guarantees when it comes to him keeping his house either - at least not without that job he so wants.<br /><br />Anyway, hang in there, make something colorful or knit something new - something to improve your spirits. If you don't open blinds or curtains - open them & let some sunlight in. Buy some flowers (or get Blaine to - doesn't have to be expensive ones, just colorful ones), go for a walk, play some upbeat music - play it loud! Make the cats jump out of their fur! lol Put on your wildest outfit or most colorful socks - put on wild makeup - anything to brighten things up & maybe even make yourself laugh a bit! And remember - this too shall pass!Cindy/KShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01902208663724302611noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27782375.post-34161810960120448752010-06-23T09:44:01.067-05:002010-06-23T09:44:01.067-05:00AJ: I think you hit the nail on the head.

The other is sadness for your friend and the loss of his dreams - when he left it was supposed to be to another job. It hurts when friends are hurting and you cannot fix it - frustration and anger and sadness. He's on my prayer list (as are you).ajhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05744877110277927621noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27782375.post-50802324929431530312010-06-23T08:23:50.554-05:002010-06-23T08:23:50.554-05:00Thank you, you guys.

She will likely bite you for your trouble, but do it anyway. Give Blaine a hug, he probably needs cheering up too.
