Resentment

“The feeling can be caused by several different situations, however, they all involve a sense of injustice or wrongdoing from an individual. For example, public humiliation, constant discrimination or prejudice, being taken advantage of, feeling unrecognized, envy and jealousy can all result in resentment. “

Narcissism

Peter and Ron got into a big fight yesterday.

“This advice would never work with a narcissist. Not ever. The more you show love toward them, the more they hate you.”

“If you think you are in a relationship with a narcissist, get out. If the narcissist is your mother or some other person you can’t eliminate from your life completely, accept them for who they are. They will not change. They don’t think there’s anything wrong with them. They think you are the problem. Trying to avoid facing the truth that this person is not ever going to give you what you need is easier, but it’s only going to fuel their fire and make you feel like a doormat. The alternative, acceptance, is harder, but it works. Accept that they will never change. Accept that you will never get love from them. And accept that you deserve love and can get it, from someone else.”

“Narcissistic people gives others the cold shoulder when they do not get what they want from them. Be very aware of this. This is emotional abuse. There is other sorts of abuse from narcissistic people too. Be very aware of them. There can be any sort of abuse, from verbal to intellectual abuse with narcissistics.”

Rainy Sunday; Spring Forward

Started as snow and sleet. Luckily, I’d grabbed the paper beforehand.

Changed the clocks. Made breakfast for us.

Did about 20 minutes on the treadmill at the gym.

Corresponded with a helpful person on jobs in Seattle.

Downloaded a book on ASP.NET Core. Upgraded VS2017, added a Web project that had somehow gotten lost. Deleted another, a sample that was ridiculously complicated.

Did laundry, changed sheets.

Started notes for the meeting with Larry on Friday.

Saving on Cell Phones

We, mostly Ron because it’s his account, have succeeded in reducing our cell phone charges by half.

I am angry that we’ve overpaid for a year or more.

We were considering switching to Sprint but Credo gave us a deal almost as good, without the bother of changing anything.

We splurged a bit on lunch today, but not by much. We split a vegetarian plate from a new local restaurant. It was quite good, and spiced enough for Ron that he didn’t need to add to it.

Ron put up the third shelf in the downstairs closet.

I did a 20 minute walk around the Commons this evening and then some strength exercises at home while we were watching “Midsomer”.

Fixed a permissions issue with MRS and did text revisions on a couple of pages.

Skipped a meeting and a standout today.

Fine Garden

Our local NPR station ran a story about Josh Leveque and his family’s garden overlooking Little Harbor in Woods Hole

He recommended the following vegetables:

Boston or a Bibb lettuce called Nancy in spring. In summer, they grow Batavian lettuce (aka summer crisps or French crisps): Nevada and one called Magenta.

He recommends Dagon Brussels sprouts, red Russian kale, delicata squash, and old European and Japanese carrots.

I made brownies today and defrosted spinach, veg burgers and spanikopita for lunch.

Full Day

Yesterday

We shoveled and Ron ran the snow blower following a 2-3 inch snowfall.

We started week 5 with Fit and Strong and grabbed supper at Falmouth Eats Together at the Jewish Congregation.
Afterwards, we gave Robert a lift home.

Alpha sent pix with the pendant and Ami!

GERD all day for me. Snow stopped it, finally.

New FB group is a disappointment. I may just shut it down. Good email from Phyllis about Ron Beaty and a fine vid from Liberty Chalkboard with sample questions from the citizenship exam.

Today

I made cookies; Ron ate them.

Ron dropped off the excise tax checks to Town Hall.

Cleaned up Google and Yahoo emails.

Mild interest from a couple of recruiters.

Fit And Strong

Ron and I finished week 4. I collapsed around 7:30 last night.

Brought the truck in for compressor replacement yesterday, but the part was defective, so it got fixed today. Unfortunately, cost a lot more than I’d planned.

“Cape & Islands Forum” has 98 members.

Trinity installed the critter guards. Ron found a flaw and fixed it.

Made heavy random vegetable soup for lunch and stir fry for supper.

Fixed an MRS bug.

House voted to overturn the fake emergency.
