Today’s Feelings
- miserable
Notes

- Scheduled Daily Draw posts for Week 9
- it’s snowing again this morning
- headache became a migraine
- can I just crawl under a rock and die?
- Tuxedo Cat’s father didn’t come to visit today
- this of course triggered disappointment and feelings of being brushed off in me and naturally when I expressed that, it created friction between us
- perhaps it would have been better to keep my shit to myself
- he has enough on his plate to deal with
- I don’t need to be an extra burden
- he said he didn’t like it that I seem to be so upset so often
- you can’t tell someone you don’t love them and then expect them to be happy
- it isn’t for a lack of trying on my end, trust me
- you can’t tell someone you don’t love them and then expect them to be happy
- he said he didn’t like it that I seem to be so upset so often
- I don’t need to be an extra burden
- so much for being here and giving me the hug I said I needed Friday
- he claims he remembered
- we talked a bit further about intentions – or rather, I tried to
- just once I’d like a direct answer
- this of course triggered disappointment and feelings of being brushed off in me and naturally when I expressed that, it created friction between us

Today’s Feelings
Notes
- Tuxedo Cat’s father needed a ride to work from me this morning and of course, he seemed just fine on messenger – like nothing happened between us last night
- later in the day we talked more in-depth about this and I worded the question differently
- partly because I retook the attachment style assessment quiz earlier in the day and my results showed that I had shifted into a fearful attachment style across the board
- essentially a scarcity mindset in all my relationships
- wasn’t asking about his feelings for me or about this relationship, was asking what his purpose/goal is in being in it is
- in other words, I asked him directly if he was in this to fuck around or if he was in this for the long term
- he said he wanted to see if this is something that will develop into something serious
- I’m good with that
- now mind you if he wasn’t interested in long term I wouldn’t hold it against him, it’s just I wouldn’t let him lock me down
- want to fuck around? nothing wrong with that so long as I’m free to do the same
- he said he wanted to see if this is something that will develop into something serious
- in other words, I asked him directly if he was in this to fuck around or if he was in this for the long term

Today’s Feelings
Notes
- I failed to document anything, but I spent nearly the entire day with Tuxedo Cat’s father
- yes, I took my meds
- we watched Tuxedo Cat play basketball as a family
- he bought fried chicken for me to cook for dinner
- was a pleasant day of running around overall
- I did have therapy by myself
- I’ve come to the realization that becoming my best self currently involves developing an authentic version of what I remember of my inner Aphrodite
- not the delusion mind you, but the real confidence I had back then
- also realized that the only way to shift out of the current fearful attachment style I’m in is to start creating abundance in my life
- doesn’t matter what created this scarcity mindset
- I’ve come to the realization that becoming my best self currently involves developing an authentic version of what I remember of my inner Aphrodite

Notes
- Tuxedo Cat’s father spent the night last night
- Dad acted like it was a bad thing that I filled my vape sticks every other day
- not sure why it matters to him when he doesn’t pay for the supplies
- even if I do end up buying one bottle of fluid per month, that would come out to be as much or less than what it was costing me to roll cigarettes per month
- $30 tobacco supplies
- $20 bottle of fluid, $10 for the refillable wick & fluid tank cartridge
- cartridge only needs to be replaced if the wick burns up and that’s only if I don’t pay attention and light it up when the tank is dry
- there are more expensive bottles, but they are bigger too
- he got the loaner car back today
- took Little Bear to his OT appointment
- Tuxedo Cat had another game that wasn’t on the schedule that none of us knew about so we missed it and I had to pick him up from the school after the fact
- this pissed me and his father off
- we would have liked to have gone to see him play
- Tuxedo Cat’s father came over to visit this evening for dinner and watched more episodes of Designated Survivor on Netflix with me
- the series is turning out to be really good – I recommend it
- I ended up falling asleep on him
- he didn’t spend the night, but that’s okay
- finished reading The Maze Runner
- was really good
- want the rest of the series now
