It's a facial. Really.

Sitting at home literally, is making me a bit......not myself.  Surgery on my foot means hopping along with a walker (yes, a walker) because putting pressure or weight on my foot is a bigggg no no.  Fuck me.  I never appreciated being able to walk on two feet as much as i should have. 

My hands hurt more than my ankle, so sitting seems to be the goal.  I sit.  and i sit some more. It's not too bad when Mike is here because he talks to me, but once he goes to work i'm slipping into the coma of television, or ....Sims.  I admit it.  If i can't live in reality i'm gonna do it on the computer with made up characters.  I create the characters so i can build them houses.  Thats my favorite part so i'm not too ashamed or concerned.

Time alone gives you all this extra space to think.  Think, chew on it, get mad, get sad, feel relieved, grateful, bored, regretful and grossly happy.  Within the space of moments .  Because, normally that's all anyone really has to give to useless thoughts when there is SHIT TO DO. 

But.  When you are perfecting the art of sitting...thoughts take their time walking across your brain and sometimes they even turn into ideas.  Not all ideas are good ones.  Especially when in that moment you are visiting the past and you act on it in the present as if you can time travel.

Do not bust someones ass who you have not spoken to in a long time.  It isn't welcome.  It isn't okay.

See?   I learn something new every day even just sitting and staring at the wall! 

My sense of humor can be, harsh?  yeah.  Harsh.  But i think it's directed more at myself than outwardly most of the time.  No one can tear me down better than myself.

Blogging, writing it out, is mostly a good thing for me.  It might not be coherent to others, but thats fine, it doesn't need to be.  The problem with a lot of writing is a lot of thinking and mostly my thinking runs in circles, no cycles....it runs in cycles. 

And then i finally hit on a thing that has had scabs over it for so long that picking at it makes it bleed all over the place and i have to do something about it.  So i write, i rework, i remember, i forgive.  I don't forget, but i forgive.  It's all about releasing the toxins in my thoughts into writing and not holding it in my physical self taking up space. 

If you've ever had a facial you know that your skin feels fantastic when you leave the spa HOWEVER within hours your face can begin to break out in at least one of two pimples that were waiting there, below the surface, waiting for you to clear the way for their arrival.

Blogging is like that.  For me.  I take something out, look at it, put it into perspective, and then send it on its way.  The problem is, that makes room for more somethings to look at.  Again, and again. 

I'm kinda hoping that the somethings will eventually come to nothings so i can use that room to store the good things that are happening to me now.....for future reference.

So blogging is like a facial. Did you expect me to be poetic? 

Texting, is a privilege and  honestly, i'm putting myself on restriction.  At least until i can get to the spa for a full body massage.

I love ChatGPT

 I am extremely transparent with my emotions because i do not have the ability to NOT be.  My only option when i'm having any feelings is to talk in a very low, slow, monotone voice and keep my face as blank as i possibly can. Unless they mean something to me. Unless i care about them and how they treat me.  So while i'm perfectly okay with never seeing or hearing from Mr. Cigar again, in light of his true self unveiling, I am overthinking my expression of emotions to him.   I took this little conversation and put it into ChatGPT with no questions or directions and this is what i got back: This exchange captures a painful and emotionally charged moment. Your initial message was heartfelt, vulnerable, and expressed a genuine desire for connection and acknowledgment. His response, while polite on the surface, carried a sharp undercurrent of blame and finality—deflecting accountability and subtly rewriting the narrative as your fault. Ending it with “safe travels ...

Same stuff

 Nothing new to report.   I've been managing my anxiety, trying to, at least.  I know when it's kicking up and i know it's temporary.   Still doing physical therapy, walking, stretching, losing weight VERY slowly.  Not so easy to lose it at my age.  But i have an appointment in September to discuss hormone replacement and i think that may help me out with body aches and lethargy. Mr. Cigar is as busy as ever, yet always manages to make me feel important in his life.  It's been only 3 months and that shocks me a little bit.  Feels like it's been so much longer.  The pace is perfect, and it's nice to not have to make power moves with him.   I need to see my kids.  I think about them daily and know they have busy lives.  But i feel disconnected sometimes.  Same with some of my friends.  It's really hard for me to reach out.  To anyone. And i've also been enjoying my "do absolutely nothing" time. ...

Sunday funday

 I stayed in bed until 8am.  Yes, i was scrolling my phone, but still........i was in bed.  Also, i made coffee and brought it BACK to bed.....so yes, technically, i remained in bed until 8am. I have a hard time staying up past 9pm.  And then i can't sleep past 6:30 at the latest.  When did that happen? Yesterday, i was ready for bed by 7pm at the birthday party.   I got to hold, okay, i TOOK the 6 day old premie babie and cradled his little body for a longggg time.  I layed him in my lap so i could see him, and he could strettttttttch his tiny body.  This little boy, normally, would still be baking in the womb.......but here he is, tiny and mighty, in my lap.  His tiny hands, his tiny FEET.  OMG.  New mamma was happy to be with her family and socialize, but new daddy, stayed close.  He talked about all the things CJ does already.......sleep, eat, poop.   He is a very nice young man, very in tune with his sons wh...
