I messed up.
I went out to eat with family to cheer my mum up, I suggested this a few weeks back as seeing my sister might make her happy. I didn't choose the restaurant - in hindsight I absolutely should of.
After a long day and needing to eat something for the protocol, I opted for what I thought was the safest option of salad and calamari. Unfortunately the salad arrived drenched in sweet dressing to hide the taste of wilted leaves and the calamari was coated in thick bands of greasy batter. I ate some, I didn't actually want to, but I felt I had to for the sake of the other people at the table (and not wanting to justify the delusional sibling mantle I've seemed to have been given), and I hate myself for doing that.
Weakness - something I promised myself I would never do again.
Live and learn. Hopefully didn't set me back too far, and a lesson to be more prepared and organised going forward.
I also want to take this opportunity to say how enormously grateful I am that this community exists, that Mel is here to share his wisdom and guidance and collated the forum as a library.
I feel somewhat lost right now, and I know I would be more so, if not out at sea if it weren't for Mel and this forum.
I know very little but seek to learn more day by day.
