Chatty letter. I mentioned my job interview. My mother hasn’t responded.

I also mentioned said job interview to my dad and brother with no response.

So, um, I’m probably hormonal, but some sort of a ‘good luck’ would’ve been nice. Am I expecting too much of my family? Even getting an interview feels like a big deal to me.

Then again, I am pretty high strung about it. I’m making too big a deal. 11 months ago

This is one of the best goals I’ve made. 19 months ago

Told her about the dog I adopted.

And again today.

I’m really enjoying this goal. It’s improving my connection with my mother and making me realize that it is as much my responsibility as it is hers… 19 months ago

Told her all about the puppy I fell in love with. Luckily she was adopted by someone else today. At least it’s probably lucky. 20 months ago

In response to an email I got last night I scraped together enough energy to give a bit of a description of how the first weeks of classes are going for me and the kids. Not exactly as chatty as I normally am, but I think it served the intent of this goal to be more connected to my mom. (I cced my dad. I think he sees my running info on FB as a point of connection, but I forget that he might like to hear about the rest of my life too.) 20 months ago

a few nights ago. She’s so obviously pleased that I’m glad I put this down to make an effort on. 20 months ago
