MOOD ALERT ... dang, I need my hormones to decide what's happening this month. I'm in a mood so sorry in advance if (when) this is a prickly post HAH (!!)
No picture of the chocolates because hubby deleted it. This is bugging the heck out of me and here's why. I opened the chocolates and stood up to get my phone to take a picture. Hubby said he'd take it and I said 'no thanks, I'll do it.' He insisted and I said no again, but he took the picture so I gave in. I asked him to send it to me because I wanted a memory to add to the Christmas pictures. Not only didn't he send it, but he deleted it almost immediately. He said he was sorry, but it's 'not a big deal.'
Here's the big deal. I WANTED THE PICTURE. He didn't need to be involved at all, but he got involved and now there's no picture. There aren't pictures on the website, only flavor options. These were beautiful and I wanted to remember them. I am so stinking sick of people butting into my decisions in places they have no business to be -- it won't happen again. It feels disrespectful because as he deleted it, it never occurred to him that I wanted it -- no memory or no interest or no effort. Either or any way ... why the heck did he insist on taking the picture?!? He didn't help at all -- in fact, the exact opposite.
This is a big BOUNDARY area that I need to work on. Stay out of my business (!!) Can you tell this is bugging me??
I know it's a small thing, but it's a part of a change that is super important to me. To be heard, to be seen, to be respected. Let ME DO ME -- keep your opinion out of my life. Don't micro manage the details of my choices. I'm most upset because I LET HIM DO IT. I didn't want to, but I backed down in the name of not being overly controlling or overly independent, etc. I'm so stinking mad, that I've considered re-ordering the chocolates ... I (probably) won't because I don't need more sweets and they were expensive, but I've given it some serious consideration.
My other grump of the day is people tagging me in Facebook stuff. Seriously? If I don't want to join or comment, etc don't add a tag to force the issue. I don't want to join the "chain" thing or give you my favorite things list or whatever. It's annoying for the same reason -- respect my choice to not participate. Some take it to the next level and text me if I continue to ignore the post or have said 'no thanks.' Really?!?! Theme of the month for me and another one last night.
Don't mess with me and my mood this week LOL (!!) I'm spitting for a target for my frustration.
Nothing else to report on this grumpy Sunday. Hopefully, my morning routine will start a turn-around for this mood. Oh, actually, I finished Dear Wife (Kimberly Belle). I figured out the twist near the end, but that didn't change the suspense. It was a super clever book and one of the better suspense novels I've read. Next up ... Apeirogon (Colum McCann). This was recommended by a bookclub gal as one of the best books she's read this year. Heavy subject, but an uplifting spirit (so the reviews say).
Let's find some happy today. It's there for noticing, but I need to make a choice to pay attention. Stay well. Later gators.
