Still haven't gotten to catch up, though Ugly, I did see your post. Thank you for opening up... Praying for you, and now you have many others praying for you since you shared your heart. 
My first day of work is tomorrow. Well, the first day of training. I'm guessing tomorrow will be a lot of set up and settling in. I'm not super nervous at the moment, I suppose I've had so many changes these past few weeks that this just seems like one more.
Though, somehow in unpacking I stepped on something, it's almost like I have a tiny shard of something in my right heel. It's painful to walk on properly. Ive tried digging it out, soaking it, and more to no avail, so I don't know if it's just a wound of some sort and it just hurts or what but I think there's actually something in there because when I stand or walk on it the wrong way, I get sharp pains like something is stabbing me. Prayers that I can get that out. I'm not going to the doctor. Thankfully at my job I think I sit a majority of the time so it shouldn't be too much of an issue but it is still annoying and painful.
Other than that, I'm doing well. Unpacking is almost done and I think I'm getting settled in nicely. I haven't gotten too homesick yet.

Listening to Within Temptation Radio on Pandora (a mix of Within Temptation, Evanescence, Nightwish, Lindsey Stirling, Apocolyptica...yeah, it's fabulous) while working on packing. Progress has slowed greatly since I busted my whatsit earlier, but I don't think I have all that much left to do.
The law office I sent that waiver to (refusing any part in the wrongful death lawsuit my second-eldest sister is trying to file over our dad) apparently never got it. So now, I've been getting angry messages on Facebook from that sister. I told her I sent it. She told me I'm a liar just like our father. I told her I would personally call her lawyer and get another waiver to sign so they can move forward with this case. She told me she's sorry she's been a basket case and she doesn't want to talk to me anymore because it kills her that I'm so much like dad.
I think my entire family is certifiably insane. Including me.
On a happier note...um...ice cream. Yep.

Sorry to hear. I know it seems like your life is constantly in a new upheaval and how frustrating it can be. But i think God is shaking your life up on purpose. He's clearing the way for you, getting out the clutter so that you will be able to move forward when the time is right. And without the baggage of people that will try to hold you back from His plans.

But...*sigh*
That could be true. But she's my SISTER. And I wanna keep her. Obviously, if she's serious about wanting nothing to do with me, I'll leave her alone. But....RAWR!!! Stuff is frustrating. I didn't grow up with this sister...I had really been hoping for a chance to get to know her and her kids. So now I'm just hoping that what she said was the anger over our dad talking and not what she really feels.
It's also getting really tiresome to hear how much like my dad I supposedly am. First my mom, now my sister, even my aunt was saying I remind her of him before the drugs.
I hate that I'm anything like him because it just seems to make my family upset at me. Ugh.

Yes, i get that. But we have to keep in mind God might be removing people who are bad for you. As much as you desire to know her, that doesn't mean it's good for you. And you know you need to have the bad people weeded out of your life more than holding on to your own wishes.
Far as the stuff with your dad, yeah. That's tough. because in a way it's a compliment. But that compliment is causing negative reactions. Perhaps if you tried sitting down with the people saying that and discussing it with them? Explaining how hurtful people are being and it's not fair to you that they are mistreating you for something you have no control over.
I don't know, just something to think about.

Mystery solved. I said it.
I didn't want to leave my name, because you might assume that it was only about what you said to me, and that my feelings were hurt or that I was bitter or whatever. In reality, I've seen you doing the same thing to others on the forums.
And you'll remember that I did try to bring it up to you, twice in fact, in order to clear the air. But you said that you were in a "way worse mood" and you "promised that you wouldn't be patient with me."
Ugly, you say that a lot of your friends don't stick around, but you also acknowledge that you try to push them away or provoke them into saying something in order to end the friendship before they have a chance to hurt you. You say that you're doing this to protect yourself from being hurt, but the side effect is that you hurt others. When you're in a bad mood, we're supposed to be patient and understanding, but when I say something that isn't bad or rude (but that you simply found annoying), you respond the way you responded and then refuse to talk about it. You might remember that I had previously gone out of my way to ASK you if I ever said or did anything that bothered you, and you gave me one example. I said I would stop, and I did. That should have told you that I'm reasonable, willing to adapt my behavior, and not out to hurt you or make you blow up.
Honestly, would you want to hang around someone who treated you the way you treated me?

I'm trying to sell a car. I so far have had two people with interest, both were supposed to call and come look at it. No shows, the one kid yesterday was supposed to tell me what time, he didn't, so I messaged him asked if he was still interested, yes, can I come this evening and see it? Yes, we will be home, never called, never showed. Seriously??? Come on! What happened to common courtsey? I'm not going to be offended if you change your mind, it OK just tell me, ugh!

I currently have that 'I don't care attitude' and it's kind of refreshing. I am someone who always takes too much upon herself at work, more than I should I guess. Work really hard to get things done. I really don't care about getting all up and arms about things, taking leadership, feeling anxious that everything needs to get done all at once. I'll do what I'll need, but there are other people that work here. Whatever.
I saw my buddy today he's doing so much better! He was VERY happy to see me. He almost got himself up. I talked with the surgeon, and they're gonna have to keep him a few more days to make sure there aren't any complications, but he doubts it because he's doing so well already and it hasn't even been 24 hours. Mocha's gonna have to be able to go to the bathroom on his own first before we take him home. That could be as short as 3 days or as long as 5 or 6 I think.
Mocha tried to make it as hard as he possibly could for me to leave lol. He was whining and barking the whole time I was there. I'd scratch his head and gently rub his back and gently scratch the part of his belly that didn't have any stitches. Every time I stood up he'd bark even more than when I was sitting down beside him. Poor guy, I didn't wanna leave him! But I needed to get going. I'm just glad he's doing better. He'll be home soon enough.

Thanks for making this public, first of all.
Second, we haven't spoken in... how long? Well over a year. Maybe two. You're bringing up things i don't even remember saying because it's been so long. All i remember is i was set to apologize, and before i could you began DEMANDING apologizes. Trying to pressure and force me into apologizing. When in reality if you'd not been so pushy and controlling you'd have gotten the apology. But after seeing how hard you were trying to make me do something, any apology i had felt had melted under the heat of your blasting me with your demand over and over.
Honestly, would you want to hang around someone who treated you the way you treated me?
