Today I got a lecture from SparklingBright. I forgot to call and check in over the weekend, and she told me that if I forget again, she will be calling me. So, gotta remember to do it.
My aunt, The Human SteamRoller, sent an email yesterday saying she will be coming up here this weekend. Great. But we talking about it today in my session, and I will stick to saying, over and over again, "That subject is off limits." No matter what, that's all she'll get out of me, no matter how much she pushes. When I got home, I talked to my husband about it, too, and so we're on the same page. If she brings up my weight, both of us will say the same thing -- "it's off limits." That's good. Now to try to control the anticipatory anxiety.
(She'll only be dropping things off on the way to my cousin's, and then spending one night here on the way back. I've already told her, via 'email' -- it's actually a webpage, since her email doesn't seem to get anything I send -- that I'm not doing well and that my condition is off limits. It's not as if she's invited herself to stay here for a month. AND she's bringing us bookcases she built for us, and the seat cushion from the arm chair she reupolstered for us. I should be gracious.)
(As per usual, I'm suffering from "The Shoulds")
Otherwise, nothing new, nothing to report, nothing to say. How is everyone else? It's so quiet here, I'm getting lonely! I do check this board daily, so you're always likely to get a response...
Hope everyone is well.
