1. Currently in a fight with my rental company as they say they never received my check. Good thing I have the scanned and cleared copy of it via online banking! SO help my God, I do not need the stress of them threatening to evict us when CLEARLY THEY CASHED MY GODDAMN CLEARED CHECK.
2. Have not spoken to Guy since last Tuesday, where we had a pleasant conversation. I don’t understand it. So, clearly my jinxing of everything is running smoothly. I just. don’t f*king get it. Although, to be fair, he is so not my type and what I like to call “hybrid hippie.” Read: total Phish head, has a beard, and is the ski-bum type/can don the madras pants at the country club with his wealthy fam when he’s takingĀ a break from Law school. Upon seeing a picture of him and hearing about us, my “pseudo big bro” said to me: “Barbie. You are not going to marry the hippie. Let’s be honest. You know you’re going to end up with a doctor, right? (Psuedo-big-bro is a doctor. He is also the brother-in-law to my best friend from college.) He? Is so not your type. At all. This? This is a phase.” Awesome.
3. Still all bent out of shape about #2; mainly because I don’t know WTF is going on. Dude, just say something. In this case, no news is not good news. Just be straight with me. You’re a straight shooter type guy. So this cowardly behavior of NOT talking to me and saying you’re just not feeling it? Yeah, not working. I can only hope I’m being a total girl and being all obsessive over this shit, but my gut says that no, no I am not. And I shouldn’t have to make excuses for him. If a man is thinking of you, or wants to talk to you (especially the point we’re at) he should be contacting you. I wouldn’t put up with it if my friends were dealing with this, and I sure as hell shouldn’t be putting up with it now. That said, trying to figure out how to handle the situation. THOUGHTS, interwebs?
4. Lots to update on my grandma. Long story short, she was hospitalized two weekends ago (hence last week being so hellish), and after a rollercoaster of having to “call the family, this is it,” she somehow managed to rally. However, mi madre finally broke down and realized gma needs to be in a nursing home. Which she’s been in since Thursday.
5. My mom believes this to be temporary. I got into a huge fight with her about this.
6. My mom took her home yesterday for 2 hours. Realized that she could not lift the dead weight of my grandmother, even with the help of my father. I believe she still doesn’t want to admit that I, am right. And that she has done ALL SHE POSSIBLY CAN, and cannot give her the level of 24 hour care she needs. We shall see how this turns out. Magic 8 Ball says: Outlook not good.
7. After doing terrible on an exam last week (thanks in part to the family drama), I rallied and got an A on my Pharmacology exam. Barbie knows her drugs, biatch.
8. Things have to get worse, before the get better, right? Awesome. Now, onto that whole getting better part.

You probably aren’t high on his priority list and/or he is really busy. It sounds like you are much more invested then him, so keep that in mind.
Good job on the pharma exam!

If he hasn’t made an effort to talk to you since last Tuesday, pardon the overused phrase, but he’s just not that into you. I had to learn this the hard way. Trust me, if a guy wants to talk to you, wants to see you, wants you to know he likes you, then he will do it in obvious ways and he won’t stop doing it for any reason.
Concentrate on the positives, muddle through the hard times but never, ever, stop moving forward.
Nothing lasts forever, that applies to both the good and the bad.

you are so right- things often do get worse before they get better… sad but true. hang in there! **hugs**
oh and guys? guys are shitty. let them come to you. there is an appropriate amount of us going to them, but dammit- they need to put in some effort too. if he can’t? well, cut your losses. It’ll save the heartache in the end. I’ve totally been there.

I can’t tell you how many times I’ve read “He’s Just Not That Into You”. Actually, that’s a lie, I can- three times, all the way through. Several times, chapters just for a refresher. You can’t take everything in there as truth, but it a good reminder of how we should expect to be treated – like human beings. You said it yourself, you wouldn’t let friends get away with this ish, why should he, just because making out is fun?
That being said, I should head my own recommendation and give it a read through again. Amazing the things smart ladies do when faced with a cute guy. Best of luck.
And as Confucius once wrote, “Ditch the zero, get a hero.”

These boys certainly inspire the crazy, don’t they? Let’s cast them aside and make room for all the men who are just waiting for an opening.
And ditto on the hugs!
