Tiny Complaints

My company re-orged in February, and my team’s positions on the official company org chart didn’t get corrected before the virus hit. It’s not likely to be fixed anytime soon. So my timesheet approver is still my old boss, who has nothing to do with my actual work.

I don’t wanna work.

Emails keep coming in though. Time-sensitive ones.

My attorney just sent me the declaration I’ll be filing in response to XH’s taking me back to court again. I trust my attorney and I know he is very, very good, but I hate the way these things are worded and it just makes me so uncomfortable to sign them. I don’t like conflict and diplomatic language is natural to me. I’m about to sign something, phrased in the first person, that basically says, “Respondent is all bad and is doing bad things for bad reasons and I think I should get everything I want because of Respondent’s complete badness.” [SQUIRM]

Sign it and be guilt-free. XH is probably banking on you trying to be ‘nice’. Kick that fucker where it hurts.

I’m working on gathering all the info for my will. I have so many accounts! TFSA, RRSP, two RESP, RDSP, taxable, pension, two chequing, two youth accounts, two savings, two mortgages, one HELOC, student loans… that is an incomplete list. The full list makes me need to lie down.

Are some of them from different jobs? I can’t imagine you would have so many on purpose? Good luck!

Last night I was making salad. Usually I put a little blue cheese crumbles on it. So at first it didn’t even register that this time I’d gotten goat cheese crumbles instead, because that’s what they had, and goat cheese is not meant to be blue. YUCK. Covered in mold. I only had this a few days and now I have to throw it out.

I have a retirement account from one job, but each of my mortgages has associated bank accounts (and each is at a different bank) and my kids have accounts that are in my name. So I have a lot of accounts.

That makes sense.

the kind of tired that doesn’t respond to stimulants.

My therapist just cancelled our appointment for tomorrow, saying she is too ill and exhausted from caring for a sick family member. (Which is why I didn’t have any sessions with her for about a month; I did have a session last week though).

I feel terrible for her, because she is older and has some sort of chronic health issue herself and caregiving sucks - on the other hand, I would like some therapies now pls. And, she’a always cancelled or rescheduled fairly frequently in the past. Like, every couple months or so. That felt like a lot but maybe it isn’t?

My therapist has rescheduled on me once, I think, in about 4-5 years.

I don’t believe my last one ever did, except when she had a planned vacation so we had to take a week off, with plenty of notice?

I mean, shit happens. And I feel like I am being HORRIBLY ableist.

Honestly, if she’s not in a position to give good therapy due to her personal life, then I think the responsible thing to do IS to cancel and/or reschedule. It’s just… it hasn’t been a good week, I had 2 meltdowns, I could use some help.

Tris, it’s hard when you are in therapy to have a appointment cancelled. Maybe she could give you a referral to someone else. I know that’s hard to because you have developed a relationship. Hugs:))

I told bigger kid to be kind to little dude so he rolled his eyes and huffed and sighed and stomped off.

Does he have to hit all the shitty teenager attitude checkboxes? Isn’t that overkill?

Try to focus on being proud that he just got the high score in the teenager game.

Yeah, one big incentive to stick with her is, until we can do in person sessions (which she has said will be when there is a vaccine), she’s not charging me my copay, is just taking what my insurance gives her. And I really can’t afford a copay right now. Or to pay in full. It was pretty hard to find someone who takes my insurance and had an opening that worked with my work schedule, when I found her.

But yeah, maybe she could refer me. If I ask, am I being ableist? She can’t help that she can’t see me right now.
