Have to have a rant @outlander. I am sorry as I know it is so minor but I have to. My mother caring as she is just came in here to talk about my ex. See only told family other day because it was when I felt comfortable. She made these comments about how my ex and family had issues so she knew it wasn't gonna work. That I don't seem upset because I knew in myself. She commented why she isn't someone I confide in anymore. I just told her cause never in but the reality is that although I know her heart is in right place talking to her makes me anxious or rather her comments makes me anxious and I don't want to feel that way. I know what she will say. I know what she says is probably right but I need to get there myself not someone telling me what I should do or think and constantly tell me to pray and all be ok. Yes I am slightly religious but not like her.
And now my family is obviously trying set me up with someone. Of find people intro me to. I told her no thanks, she told me to be open, how about no! Because being forced into a situation I am not comfy with and not my own idea makes me anxious. They don't know about latest guy and let's leave it that way or they will query a million and one things.
Sorry...just needed rant 😐:face_with_rolling_eyes:

Can you have another nap if you feel like it or do you have to go to work today?

That is a good idea @outlander - covering it so you don't pick at it or at least try. Hopefully it works!
I think that is what annoys me is that although yes it is my life, she feels the need as a mother that she has to know everything. And she may not like fact that I don't tell her everything like my other siblings do. They will eventually find out if things progress further but for now I want to keep it to myself. They may try introduce me to guys but I probably won't meet these guys. Anyway alot of the guys they know are asians which (no offence) I am not into.
As for the current guy, things are going well it seems. I see him almost every day and hopefully he doesn;t mind it. He doesn't seem to be anyway. We are not official but it seems to be going that way. I don't think it will be official til maybe after our holidays. I am not in any rush, just enjoying it for the moment. He does make plans for us in the future. Well I won't say concrete plans but we talk about watching a movie when we return, going to this place upon our return. Even tv shows we have to watch them together when it comes out. They are small but guess it is a good sign.
How are you today?
