Days 82-97: Just Ugh

15 days without blogging. Epic fail there. Things have just been running together like wet paint around here so I’m not even going to try to recap the last 15 days. I’ll settle for this week.

Monday wasn’t bad. It was probably the best day of the whole week. Nothing happened. Nothing at all. Oh, I think that’s when my new Mattress was delivered…no wait that was Tuesday.

Tuesday sucked. The youngest kid woke up with a stomach bug. That was just the start of hell week. But my Mattress arrived and it is hella comfy so, I guess it worked out.

Wednesday was a day I just wanted to give back to the week and start over. Kid was still sick, then I found out Hubby was online and I MISSED IT! Thank you for failing to send texts to my cell phone facebook. Really appreciate it. I decided I’d play WoW for a while and try and get my mind off missing that message. Knowing, that it’s going to be another two weeks til he’s anywhere near phones and computers again, this was no easy task. That’s when someone I considered a friend, that we’ve known since we moved here went completely over the edge and destroyed any friendship there was over a simple misunderstanding we had Sunday night in game. Including blaming me for a conversation that never happened in which I refused to apologize and told him that if he said anything to the rest of our guild (In game playing group) I’d kick him out of it. It’s really hard to prove a conversation never took place. I can save conversations in the game, but not one that never took place.

I remember my Grandmother doing this to me, and as much as I admired her, and still do…it was a very scary situation. This brought me right back to that place and I just can’t deal with it. Not with everything else. I apologized for what I DID do wrong, but I refuse to say I’m sorry for something that never happened.  I wish I was the only one this affected, but unfortunately I’m not. It affected everyone who was online playing that night when he attacked me in the public chat area, it affected the smaller group I was working with when I had to leave the group because I was too upset to continue, and it leaves my husband without a ride from the airport when R&R comes around. But he’ll get here, somehow or another, and I’ll meet him at the airport if I have to walk.

The sad thing is, I could have and should have kicked him the minute he started drama in guild chat. That’s my job as an officer, to enforce the rules. But how could I at that point?  If I did, I’d just validate his claim of a nonexistent conversation, if I don’t I’m failing at enforcing the rules. There was no winning decision to make. I just have to go hands off.

So that was Wednesday. Worst day of the week so far. Thursday, Youngest kid still sick so off to the Doc we go. He said it was a tummy bug, I’d done all the right things (light meals, fluids, rest), and since she was now wanting Burger King she was pretty much over it, just get her stomach slowly back to eating normally.

Today…Daisy has a vet appointment. This will be my longest trip yet. I have to drive over to the Air Force base next door. Luckily I can avoid I5 completely. Here’s hoping I don’t get lost, and the scabby thing on her back isn’t anything major.

Fingers Crossed.
