I am going on now 2 weeks without Facebook. There's been a few moments when I've been bored and thought about re-activating it, but then would talk myself out of it. I am going to try to go for a month. I have been "soul-cleansing" lately, and deactivating facebook was a huge part of it.
I also have started standing up for myself again. The old Kami is coming around again. I've let too many people treat me as a doormat for too long. It has definitely ruffled some feathers. I also probably said a little more than I should have when I was being honest with a friend. I may have possibly ended that friendship. In reality, I really do care about them as a person. But it has become very hard to stand by idly watching them be sucked into a dark hole. I've tried talking to them, I've tried helping them, I've tried cut tooth honesty (recently). Which did not sit well, and I have not heard from them since. The negativity and drama is emotionally draining, and it is hard to be there for them but not get sucked into it, as well. I am super guilty of carrying others' emotional baggage and am trying to change how I am.
Finished the dresser completely, it turned out so nice. I am quite impressed with myself (with Joe's help.) It has been very therapeutic to paint, I have definitely missed it.
I now have a set up night stands to work on next :-)
This weekend went by way too fast. Joe and I went to my Mother's Friday. We stayed overnight. This was the first time they had met each other. It went well. He made her laugh a few times, so I think he's made a good impression. We did a little shopping Saturday morning and went to Princeton to eat. We then stopped by to see my Grandmother. She has Alzheimers and dementia, but Saturday was a good day besides a little confusion on the day and then she was laughing and joking around. I don't get up there near enough to see my family.
Saturday night, we got home around 8pm. Picked up a few items to make Tacos while Joe finished working on his Psychology paper. We then watched a few episodes of Orange is the New Black. I haven't finished Season 2 yet. Joe is ready to watch Season 3, so he is suffering through episodes he has already seen. I am also all the way caught up. Sunday, I did a little house work. Took Joe home. Watched more OITNB and caught up on some reading. It was a nice weekend.
This week will be pretty busy. I am hoping that it goes well. We are awaiting Joint Commission at work, so been a lot of preparation for their arrival. Hopefully, we will do well.
