this made me smile a bit.
when i was five, i my best friend, rochelle gave me a "trim". however, what i did to her long blonde hair would be better described as "butchery".
i guess her mom was pretty ticked off for quite awhile. apparently, i cut up my clothes, just gave them alterations, i suppose. my mom said that i was famous for shortening my skirts and removing sleeves.
ironically, i still do that to my clothes, but in different ways, i.e. removing waistbands and altering hems. : )

I was quite productive after work. I was getting so antsy at work, which helped when I got home. I just put in my headphones, cranked the music, and then got to work: Did dishes, wiped countertops, straightened my room, watered all the outside plants (using a watering can, lots of trips back to the sink, gotta see if they have a hose), cleaned the cat's litterbox, made my bed, and then danced in my room for about half an hour.
I Facebook chatted with my mom said and told her all of that, and she said, "I love that you danced a bit. Made me smile."
I told her she'd probably laugh if she actually saw my dancing.
I'm actually allowed to listen to music at work through headphones (and I leave one out so I can hear if someone comes to my area) and sometimes I have to stop myself from air-guitaring or desk-drumming during my rock songs or doing a little shimmy during my dancey music.

I keep having panic attacks... and they're horrible. Especially at work yesterday I left at 2:00 pm when I should have left at 4:00 pm.. because I was hyperventilating and having panic attacks. When I got home.. I locked myself in my room and laid there for a few hours trying to calm down. Then I had to take medicine to fall asleep or else I would have been awake all night. I look around me and as far as I can see, so many people are hurting. So many are lost and confused. I can't help but wonder where is God? Does he still care? Am I doing something wrong that's making me feel distant from him? I should have been at work 10 minutes ago, yet here I sit wondering if I should take a 'sick day' because the medicine I took hasn't fully worn out and it makes me nervous so I am easily startled. Like I was on another tab and there was a gif of a bird flying.. and it alarmed me for about 10 seconds or so. Same happens when someone comes to talk to me. I am all jittery and confused. Yet I feel as if I should go and get some work done. My shoulders- both of them hurt. All I feel like doing is crawling back in bed and sleeping all day and all night. I'm aa terrible mess right now. I can't bring myself to eat anything other than to drink some soup. Yesterday I tried some fries and it made me sick so soup is the only thing I can tolerate right now. I saw my grandfather yesterday. We haven't seen each other in a while and he decides to pick on me for my weight. Yes I've been depressed- yes I've lost weight but you don't have to make me feel bad for it? He left me feeling ashamed of myself. Then I saw my uncle who told me I looked broken and my face was not that face of the happy girl he remembered rather that I looked like someone who was haunted by memories and sadness. He commented that he last time he saw me (Last year in August) that I was so happy and fully of life and he was right. I was happy back then, I really was.
The greed in this family makes me so sad and my mothers carelessness as well. My sister met this guy online a few years ago. He was from Pakistan and she wanted him to come here because they were dating. My parents helped him come here but he was a jerk. He would constantly belittle us stating that women were irrelevant and we were worthless. He said a woman has two jobs one was to have kids the other was to be a housewife. Needless to say he and my sister did not last. He was living with us because at the time he could not afford his own place. Now that he and my sister are over; he continues to live with us while he collects huge pay cheques and never contributes anything to the household. Now my sister? They broke up and she had no place to stay so the decided to stay at her college hostel which is a horrible place and not safe. She's there without any cash, barely any food and no one to support her while this man lives in her room and spends hundreds of dollars at a time on dates with his new girlfriend. I fail to see why he won't move out and get a place of his own now that he can afford it. I went to see my sister last week.. at 7:00 pm in the night and all she had to eat that day was milk and cereal. Her ex on the other hand, went on break fast and lunch dates. My mother continues to support everything this man does.
He owes my sister $25,000 she called and asked him for it because she needs new books for this semester and he hung up on her. I'm so tired of all the horrible things that keep happening. All I want... is to be happy yet when I look around I see so many people suffering and that makes it hard for me to be happy. Dear God, I need you. I need you to mend my broken heart and to help me with all the surrounding issues.

This man needs to be taken from your home immediately, why your parents tolerare this is beyond me. Emily is there anywhere else for you to go and live?
God I ask you to watch over Emily and her Sister, please remove this man from their lives. Please help Emily find a safe haven where she can live, please give her peace with her anxiety. I ask this in Jesus's name, Amen.
I'm glad to hear this. Hugs and just keep holding on, God's next chapter for you is right around the corner. (Glances both ways to make sure no one is looking then does a quick 1 second happy dance)
There are a lot of married people who aren't good spouses either. I assume it will be an on the job training kind of thing and there are a lot of people who have done the job before me to help me learn it when it's time to learn. But yeah when I think of the stereotype of the perfect wife, I'm so far from it that any guy who expects that shouldn't be anywhere around me. I'm sure talking about being a spouse as a job wins me extra romance points too.

i'm so sorry ems. so very sorry. does he have a supervisor? or someone who is there that you can complain to?
i could recommend a few "reactionary" measures, but that might get you fired. at this point, i'd carry pepper spray with me, and remove it from my purse when he came in my direction.
more importantly, how are you faring?
*hugs* and i'm still praying for you, and that God removes you from all of that so very soon.
