Thanksgiving & Vince

I stayed at Vince’s for a few hours for Thanksgiving before I headed home. It was a little awkward between us but we managed to make it nice for his nieces and nephews. I was offered a glass of wine but declined since I was only there for 2 hours - Vince lives like 10 minutes away from me but I still didn’t want to risk it because I pass one of the many state police barracks in my state to get home AND it was also a holiday weekend. 

He does want to meet up sometime “soon” to have lunch and discuss if we can get back together. I laughed out loud and told him that we’re NOT going to get back together because I will 100% question everything he says and does. He then asked if we could still do lunch - I said that would be impossible in the foreseeable future because he needs to sit down and seriously think about what went wrong in our relationship with his words and his actions and until he puts on his big boy undies, admits that he fucked up with TWO women - claiming that he loved us both - and apologizes to me, I’ve really got nothing to say to him. 

He was visibly upset with me holding him accountable for his actions/behavior and upset with me for keeping my boundaries. Let him be upset with me for making sure that he acts like an adult when dealing with me

Thanksgiving 2021

My family isn’t doing anything today for Thanksgiving but will over the weekend. I, weirdly enough, am going to Vince’s place for a little bit since I’d promised his nieces and nephews months ago (prior to finding out that he cheated on me). Hopefully it goes well. 

Will keep y’all posted

Been doing ok

Taking a break from work; had bronchitis and sinus infection and thankfully recovered but work requested that I take a Covid test just in case. The test came back negative - which both my doctor and I knew it would be - and submitted it to work. Work requested that I take another week off since I was still hacking up my lungs. Thankfully they suggested that I take more time off as I went back to the doctor earlier this morning as the sinus infection came back with a vengeance. 

Went to the pharmacy after visiting the doctor the other day to pick up an antibiotic and a nasal spray (yuck!) and take my meds when I got home. I did have some soup (I only eat soup when I’m 😷). I eventually took a 3 hour nap - partially because I slept like shit the previous night and partially because of being sick. If I have the energy after dinner, I might make Jell-O. My grandparents - my mother’s parents - always made Jell-O for us when my siblings and I were sick/feeling under the weather. 

I was able to reach out to a few friends as I had more free time. It was awesome to talk with them as it had been a few weeks since we last chatted. One is pregnant again and the other one has another cancer scare again; she dealt with thyroid cancer twice before and she began to feel unwell and felt a little swelling near where she has her thyroid taken out. The one side is fine and the other side gets a re-check in March of 2022. Today is also her birthday.

Started work today to help me get back into the swing of thinks. Everyone was happy to see me and a few gave me a hug. My top 3 favorite male coworkers came over to chat with me; the one that's #1 is in IT and such a sweet man as well as hilarious, smart and overall wonderful person, the others are two are tied at #2.....they're pretty darn great people, freaking hilarious, smart,  see me as their kid sister - although we're all close in age - and look out for me. My favorite female coworker is a woman in HR - she bends over backward to help anyone who needs assistance, amazing person, total sweetheart, kind hearted and always there for everyone. I was talking with someone at work today; I explained that I knew that in reality that all the employees are great and feels like a family but to an outsider - new employee's first day or someone delivering something - would think that everyone is a bunch of close knits friends and the coworker that I was talking with agreed with me.
