As the sun has set, cooler air has finally stared coming through our open windows.

My thought:

"Hey, You're colding me down" 🤣🤣🤣

Personally I ran out of things to say for a bit, but I'm getting back into it 😅

We passed a sign that said "watch for ice", my first thought was, eh, it's in the 80s, I think we're good, but then I thought about the other ICE... and they could be lurking anywhere 🤣🤣🤣

I was called Young lady today, and shortly after someone else called my husband an old man... 🤣🤣 he's not that old!

I saw a Tesla from California in Arizons. I think it might be hiding from the crazies 😇🤣🤣🤣

Some dude talking to Charlie Kirk and questions him being 6'5", Charlie stands up to prove it, even asking someone in the audience who is over 6 foot.

The dude response with, agree to disagree.

Charlie replies, Facts don't care about your feelings.

Wow, that dude is fighting reality so hard! It's so sad!! yet so funny.

Asserting boundaries with people are important, however, how you assert them makes a huge difference.

If you're rude about it, and disrespectful, why should they respect your boundary?

We are responsible for teaching people how we wanna be treated.

I wanna be treated kindly, and respectfully, so when I set a boundary, I do it kindly and respectfully, because I actually wanna be in relationship with this person, but I want the relationship to feel and be good.

Ok. But you started asking me questions and I answered them. I care about how I act, and I think that's important. It is also important to set boundaries, but they kinda defete the point if they're done harshly or rudely.

Even if she wanted to control the situation, which is another thing I don't agree with doing(but that's a different issue) but even if one wanted to do that, there are so many other ways to do that that are still respectful to the person you're setting the boundary with.

82f in March is too hot, too early! I will definitely not be visiting this place in summer! 🥵

Those memes where the lady is wondering if her man is thinking of her, if I made one of those, I'd be wondering if he's thinking about a battery, mining equipment, or another idea for a book 🤣

If he's thinking of me, he's usually also looking at me. It's the best! I'm so blessed!!! 🥰

Food delivery. It's no good where we live so we need to go to the surrounding cities. Like 2-4 hours away, so we don't go home at night.

We're also authors but that's more of a slow game. We're working on more books but they take time and won't pay until they're published and then someone wants them. We do have some already that are making us money, but I'm not sure we've even passed $100 in a month so far. It will happen, but we need money in the meantime. So, kinda like with bitcoin 🤔🤣

The thought of being the driver in this context got me thinking of some big bumper stickers I'd like to add first:

WARNING! Small town driver!

Used to being the only car on the road!

Haven't driven in years!

Caution!!

- maybe I'll even throw on a "Female driver" just for good measure

🤣🤣

We've been on the road for probably over a month, trying to make some money, but it's quite draining. We've gone home for 1-2 nights, mostly because we had some errands to run. I wouldn't mind seeing some people, but being around hectic drivers who cut in way too close is draining. I'm ready to relax 🤗

Well, I'd get WinCo food, so it's cheap, and we've done similar before and it lasted at least a week... but we still need to make more money so I think a week might be our limit, unfortunately 😔🤣

Someone turned on summer here... I'm not a fan. I don't even have a fan, so it's extra awful 🤣🤣🤣

Yes, that would be amazing!!!!

I'd like to get about $200 worth of groceries, go home, and not leave for a week.

Alex Stein said the reason Trump is deporting people is because he's trying to save all the cats and dogs 🤣

That's why I'm safe. Swedish people don't eat pets 🤣🤣🤣

So do you think how she handled it was good?

She still didn't answer the question and came off as disrespectful and chiding.

I'm not most people, which is why I added the part of confronting him kindly. Yes, I think that would have worked way better! And wouldn't have cause her to look so bad. She could have conducted herself with elegance, but she chose to act rudely and condescendingly, ON THE RED CARPET, which is definitely not the place for that, unless that's the persona you want to portray.

I would probably stop talking and look at my husband until he is done and then continue to answer the question.

Then when we're alone, I'd bring it up.

We already have an established boundary of not interrupting each other, and if we miss it, we clean up the mess by asking for forgiveness, in private!

Someone else might touch his arm to indicate that he's crossing an already set boundary saying something like, "the question was directed at me, I'd like to answer it." Said kindly and calmly.

I would NEVER chide him in public. I don't even do that in private.

It's one thing to assert a boundary, but it needs to be done in kindness. She wasn't kind. It doesn't seem like she has asked him for what she wants, she sounds like she's asserting an unspoken boundary, meaning, she hasn't actually given him the chance to agree to not do that. Getting angry or annoyed and chiding someone for crossing our boundaries are not the same as making an agreement about how to treat each other.

This is why I strongly recommend Alison Armstrong's stuff, because she goes into detail about how to make deals and assert boundaries in a healthy way that works for both men and women. Frustration doesn't work, kindness does.
