I die talking to a manipulative person. This seems doable!

I think that you better get over there.

When the dog makes the barf noise.

How many up downs of my flip flop.

A half of a sandwich with a few bites taken out of it.

Just think about being that cat. Wander around a neighborhood and see a person on their deck sitting in a chair, go over and lay on their belly.

You seem to be treating everyone, including yourself, with respect. I can’t think of anything that is kinder. This sounds like a hard thing not the wrong thing to do.

You are a very kind and sensitive person.
