I'm annoyed and somewhat intrigued by how consistently and effectively reverse psychology works on me. If you tell me I'm not allowed to do something...even if it's something I didn't even *want* to do in the first place, a part of me starts to want to do it, just to spite the person. And if you tell me I *have* to do something...something I take interest in on my own, a part of me starts wanting to avoid doing it.
It annoys me that I am this affected. I understand the motive in a sense, it's a little bit of a rebellious streak, I do not like being told what to do, and it's the main reason I make a terrible employee. But nonetheless it annoys me because another person could so simply and easily control my desires. It's a bit ironic in a sense, because it's a rebellion that triggers it, a rebellion because of wanting to be the one to make my own decisions, that makes me susceptible to another person being able to control what I do and do not want. Fortunately, no one uses this against me currently. Not that I'm aware of anyway, lol. | |

There is something incongruous about there being a giant muddy hole inside of one's home.
As it turned out, there was a leak underneath our apartment, and the only way to fix it was to get to it straight down through the floor. The pipe was bent. So now they've fixed the pipe, and filled the giant hole back in with cement. There is mud and cement powder and rubble littering our house, lol.
Fortunately the apartment managers let us stay the night in the empty apartment directly across from ours, so that was nice. It's kind of weird seeing an apartment that's identical in every way to your own, except reversed. | |

So I've had this really annoying cough for the last week, and somehow during one of my coughing fits I guess I managed to pull a muscle or something, the pain on this one rib is horrible. It is just one rib that when I put any pressure on it it feels bruised and sore. And it feels weird like it's out of place. I've got muscle spasms all long it anytime I move which has rendered me essentially helpless.  And every time I cough, it's horribly painful, and yet the urge to cough of course doesn't magically go away. What the heck happened!? | |

| I hate being sick. Right now I feel cold, I feel achy and sensitive from head to toe, I have a sore throat, and when I cough I sound like a seal. Stupid sickness! | |

It took a long time, but it's done! Way better software running it now
I've also added forums, and recipes sections. So they're empty now, but hopefully not for long | |

My husband's two brothers came to visit us this past week. We went and did a lot of fun touristy stuff, had dinner at a lot of really nice restaurants, and it was fun. A little stressful, bringing the kids everywhere, but fun anyway. They're both great guys, really funny and nice. Anyways, so the whole time they were here, one of them kept paying for everything, and it was making me feel guilty, like, ok, that's enough, lol. I mean, I didn't want to seem ungrateful either, but he was paying for all these restaurants and tickets and stuff. The reason being that his wife just died of cancer, and she had a sizeable life insurance. Which brings me to my Holy Cow moment. My husband just called him this morning, and his brother informed him that he would be buying us a house. Yes, a house. In California. Holy Cow. His only requirement is that he get to stay with us for a few weeks in the winters, since he lives in Canada where they have brutal winters, and that when we sell the house, we'll split the profit on it.
Holy Cow.
Now, don't get me wrong, having someone offer to buy you a house is amazingly generous and incredible to put it mildly, and all I've ever wanted since I was a kid was to have my own house. Right now we're living in an apartment complex, which his brothers were obviously unimpressed with since they both have really nice huge houses of their own, and out little apartment is thoroughly unimpressive. But isn't there a huge potential for future animosity with this? Like a huge "You owe me" hanging over our heads? I'm sure that's not how he's intending it at all, but the potential for that to develop in the future is huge, isn't it? I don't doubt his intentions at all, he's a very sweet generous guy, I'm just worried about this messing up all of our relationships in the future.
Holy Cow. | |

 I just wish he had a shred of sentimentality to him. I wish he cared how I felt. | |
