This is very flameful amd nothing but vanity but I was knocked down hard with norovirus and ate nothing for several days straight. I felt really awful. I'm annoyed that after all that my leggings don't seem any looser. Losing a couple of pounds is surely not too much to ask after horrendous stomach pain for days on end. Yes I know it's just water weight, etc.

H's birthday is 4 days after DS's, plus H is a twin and has shared his birthday his whole life...so I already know he's a little jokey+sensitive about not mattering. This is so insightful of you. I have been made to feel as though I do not matter since I was a young child so to see you say this brings happy tears. I'm really sorry you have felt that way. I haven't felt that personally but I've seen several friends feel that whether from their upbringing or from their spouses when it comes to special occasions, & that's definitely why I think everyone deserves to be celebrated & to feel thought of & cared for, whatever that looks like for them.

maybe because i didn't meet or marry H until mid30's, or maybe it's just his personality, but i don't relate to a lot of the "mental load' stuff. I divorced that guy because it was fucking annoying (amongst other stuff). H does more than his share when it comes to house things, and he goes above for me and DD too.

Confession on behalf of MH - he wanted a ginormous Cookie Puss as our wedding cake. He though it would be hysterical. We went with regular cake.

I'm kind of laughing at not liking cake then being upset at not getting a cake though There could have been other efforts made, like a pie, cookies, cookie cake. Sure but she got him sushi and sake, does it have to be something that's for dessert? The fact that it has to be a dessert is kinda odd to me, but I'm not a sweets person.

I have a bratty confession. My h insisted I move into his office since he's no longer using it, which is great, I can finally move out of my flimsy living room desk area but the whole thing has created more work for me. I have to find my computer docking station and plug in the monitors and crawl around on the floor and plug all of the power in, etc. It's literally 10 minutes of work, but like I just don't have the capacity to get myself to do it. So here I sit at a half completed desk space with two giant unused monitors and cords all over because the thought of fixing it is real overwhelming. I'm so stupid.

I turn 40 next year. Luckily mine is in April so I’ll have time And yes I’ll plan most of my 40th because I’m particular. My sister will help and my h will show up 😂 I planned my 40th and H paid for it. That was my gift. It was perfect. He knows I love to plan parties so he really is doing me a favor

So here I sit at a half completed desk space with two giant unused monitors and cords all over because the thought of fixing it is real overwhelming. I'm so stupid. I've been meaning for 4 months to move my workspace over one desk to the left because it has a window and a better view of the workspace- it's literally four feet away. But it involved a lot of cleaning and organizing and sorting paperwork and I haven't done it yet. It's probably a half day chore. I did just buy a rainbow maker for the window so I'm hoping that will get me going.

So help me God if you get me something for my birthday and it includes frosting. This is a definite know your recipient kind of thing.
And also if you like cake but I got you sushi which you also like- like, I'm sorry I spent $50 on you as opposed to running to the grocery store for 5 minutes and getting a $5 cake?

He wasn't ignored. He got a thoughtful dinner. It's been life on the mental struggle bus at Casa Eagles for a few months, so on our most recent birthdays we each gave a small gift to the other in the morning before work and said I love you. We've put in more effort in the past but we understand that we're both overwhelmed af and hopefully next year we can do something more special. No one is saying she sucks or did nothing but she even said it was less than normal and it was because she was done keeping the mental load so subconsciously he probably felt that. Which of course she has that right and of course even if it wasn’t done subconsciously and she was petty I can’t fault her to much but without having a conversation it can seem like a slight

One of our engineers likes making cookies and she always brings in some unfrosted ones for me.
Even if I'm not in a cookie mood, I will take her cookie.
