We’re in the middle of the annual Fambly Reunion at work.
It’s mostly joyous. Mostly awesome people. A few who should have stayed home.
I remember getting a very frustrated/frustrating letter from one. I remember typing my response.
That person has shown the letter to no fewer than 47 people, in frustration.
I wrote it in frustration. Like literally you asked a question about 2024 and you are unsatisfied with the answer in 2026.
What people do is isolate 14 of us, then get mad when the answer is 14x “sorry you are mad but what exactly do you want” and they can’t tell us.
I figure they want us to say we were wrong, we screwed up, here’s some money.
I don’t know. I gave the guy a good bar recommendation last night. Here’s hoping he forgives all. I doubt it but his wife is lovely so he can’t be all bad.
Speaking of the opposite, man did I have a weird dream last night.
Dreamed about an old affair. I guess remembering a more recent one messed up my little girl brain.
“Lilac short skirt, the one that fits me like skin
Did your research, you knew the price goin’ in
And I’ll tell you one thing, honey
I can tell when somebody still wants me, come clean
Standin’ at the bar like something’s funny, bubbly
Once you fix your face, I’m goin’ in.”
Dreamed I ran into someone from my long LONG ago past. Still married. Still somehow had little kids.
We weren’t doing anything wrong at all, just coexisting. Having a coffee. Taking the kids on a drive.
We never DID anything wrong. Just coexisted. Had coffee. Had drinks. Had exactly one conversation about what we felt, and that was the day it ended.
The dream felt easy. Muscle memory kicked right in.
The wife (a doctor) saw me for some medical problem. Put me in a taxi with him. Then told the cabbie to floor it over a cliff.
I watched the final scene outside my body, seeing me (with pink hair) in the cab, screaming.
I’d say I don’t know where any of this came from, but I do.
Y’all if I’d ever actually wielded my power, I would have been dangerous.
And who’s to say I won’t still test that theory.
“You’ll find that you were never not mine.”
