Friend is single mom; known her for several years. 2 years ago, she met guy and is in a relationship with him. He has no problem with her or her kid; me on the other hand.... He has not been receptive.... I've tried everything. I baked him cookies; he ate them (still has my plate). If I am not mistaken, he does not like having me around....
Friend's birthday is coming up in June and they're throwing her a party. She invited me; he called tonight and said it was a "family kind of party...." I asked if he meant her mom or his family or something showing up, etc. He just repeated that it was a "family party...." I asked if I should bring anything or if there was anything I could do.... He repeated himself.... Similar questions got the same answer.... Seems clear he doesn't want me showing up; not sure why given that I've done everything but beg this guy.... I am especially ecstatic that it seems I cannot be associated with "family" events by this line of thinking....
So now the question is of course do I show up and piss him off, or not show up? If I do not show up, do I tell Friend why, make up an excuse, or say nothing...? He's actually good to her and kid, so I really don't wanna be a wedge.... Yet, I do so enjoy losing what few true friends I have....

I suppose today has just been "interesting" all around. Yelled at by Judge, who had wrong case number, for a case I had nothing to do with. Boss shrugs off my book keeping concerns for elderly ward client when all I want out of him is to squeeze a checking account statement out of the bank so I know if I have $2000 in the account or $5500 before we write anymore checks... (long story including manager, whom I'm gonna sue, stealing from client). Among other things.... Of course the above whining.... Meh. Hello alcohol....
