What I'm Reading This Week #17
Time for Friday which means planning weekend shenanigans should be afoot! Well, the carpet thing as far as the obscene amount we have left went nowhere. They gave an excuse which measurement wise makes no sense, swore we weren't charged for it and now we have a friggin' roll left to figure out what the hell to do with it. Do you know how many times over the past 8 years we have said the phrase "we'll figure it out?" 7,422. I'M. TIRED. OF. HAVING. TO. FIGURE. IT. OUT!!!!!! You listening up there, Sir or Madam? Can we please be done?? The only thing we got was a service call which they were late for to fix the gap which yay but shouldn't have been there in the first place. Rat bastards. The worst of it is when you look up the reviews for the place after the fact (because they don't tell you who it is before or you'd never buy through them). This place gets one star out of like 20 reviews over the years. Th...
I am definitely a cryer!! Luckily my parents are too so they didn't ever give me a hard time about it because they were usually crying at the same things I was. My brother did not get the crying gene so he always looked at us like we were crazy.
ReplyDeleteThe family that cries together bonds together, I always say! (Well, not always but I just did.)
DeleteI have never been a cryer until I started creeping up on menopause. Now I have feelings and can't wait for the menopause to be over and go back to being the soulless ginger I know I am.
ReplyDeleteDarn those hormones! ;-) Hoping you're back to soulless ginger status sooner than later...all those feelings. Bleh!
DeleteDefinitely a crier. My family always says I cry 'at supermarket openings'. It wasn't until I was older that I realized that it had a negative connotation and the implication that my feelings weren't real. To this day I get teased if I tear up - no matter the cause.
ReplyDeleteYou have found your brethren, so you cry away! There is NOTHING negative about crying, it's far worse to keep it all inside whether at a sad movie or a supermarket opening.
DeleteI used to be a crier at the drop of s hat when I was young. I didn't understand the strong emotions I had and it was not okay to express too much joy or anger in any way, so it came out in tears. In recent years I went the opposite route and pretty much shut down any and all tears (PTSD has a lot to do with that for me) and I could describe my feelings quite clearly but couldn't let myself cry because there was always the next thing that needed to be done. So the things that I should have been able to cry about were on a very long delay by months, if not years. I don't know if I have more balance today, or just a greater understanding of why my brain handled emotions the way it did in all phases of my life. I don't cry often now but when I do let go, it's a deep-well kind of cry.
