Do I care?

Do I care if anyone I know reads my posts?

Do I care if YOU do?

Do I care if anyone thinks less of me after reading my posts?

Do I care if YOU do?

The answer is NO; I am who I am meant to be and and am responsible for my OWN health and happiness!  No one can MAKE me healthy and happy and no one can make YOU healthy and happy!

Only if it's paid for....LOL....

1-26-2010
You called to say that you wanted to "have a one on one" with me and a counselor that you had lined up from your workplace. That's how important all of this was to you. If it's paid for by the company, you'd get counseling. (Knowing what you've said about company doctors, that was NOT reassuring!  Also, I had tried to encourage you for years to go with me and you said "that never works", and refused to even consider it.)

I didn't say much except that I needed space to think and you finally relented about the appointment, but continued to chat about this and that (insulating the attic, choice of windows and paint, etc). You were pleasant enough, but this was very annoying since I already told you I needed space. Maybe if you listened and HEARD instead of just "listening" and enjoying your own voice, you'd have more and longer lasting relationships in all aspects of your life!

A call from you on 1/5/2010

You had been in Florida for a while and gave me a call here in the Great White North to say that a saleswoman at the cell phone store noticed a particular contact on your phone.  She asked you, "is that your wife?" and you replied that it was, with all the usual endearments attached to the nickname when you are in a good mood.
I stated that you don't always call me that (meaning your bad mood terms of NON-endearment, i.e abuse) and you totally ignored my statement....no apology or asking what I meant. You moved on to the next topic of your choice, as usual.....
