hang on

 up down, over around.  But just little mountains, not huge insurmountable mountains.....that's what life is at the moment.

I'm scared.  Opportunities can turn into failures.  Or not.  

I'm sad.  Doing this solo, on my own, no partner to talk it out with.  No one to give me a hug and tell me to just jump.

I'm grateful.  Never expected in my wildest dreams that my late 50's would be when i hit my stride professionally and that this would be when i finally look like i'm getting my act together.

I'm excited.  There is a path in front of me that wasn't there previously. 

I'm curious.  This could go in many ways and I don't see any of the choices being wrong.  As long as i DO SOMETHING.

            Also, it looks like someone in Israel is reading my blogs and that also makes me curious.  i'd love for you to comment, for us to connect in an across the world way - what brings you back here over and over again?  Welcome to my crazy.

I'm tired.  I wake up in the middle of the night and start thinking about all the things.  Not bad, but still disruptive.  

Today i start doing some self teaching getting prepared for the official learning i will be doing shortly.....getting a jump so i don't look stupid.  Libraries are a wonderful thing.

I hope your day is filled with wonder and mystery.  In a good way.

Let's talk about Mr. Racecar

 I admit it.  I am a little bit excited about meeting Mr. Racecar.   He's younger- 53 He's taller, and bigger than me He has tats, bald head and long beard He builds cars/trucks and drag races - own his shop which is attached to his home.  ONE is a Camaro.  It sounds NASTY. He lives an hour away Now......here's what happens in my head:  What the hell could this man possibly see in me?  Why would he want to meet me?  He- owns a Harley but hasn't ridden it in a few years due to a car accident that left him unable to walk again until recently. He is a typical male in that some of his talk tries to lead me down the "lets talk about sex, baby, lets talk about you and me" side of things, which I have successfully diverted without him losing interest. I'm looking to date, to find the man I want to have a relationship with, not a situationship. And then I had to explain what a situationship is because he has only just started dating again, and he is ...

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 ...

I danced.

 This past Saturday night i revisited what it felt like to be the zero fucks ME.   I had talked myself out of going out that night.  I dragged my ass around the house and thought of every reason to text my girlfriend an excuse about why i wasn't going out. I had many valid reasons.  Putting on real clothes, trying to make myself attractive, going somewhere i've never been all by myself to walk up to a man i've been talking to, but haven't ever met face to face.   Okay, Mb.  Just put on your sassy pants and go do it.  Nothing to lose, everything to gain.   But PJs.   No.   On my way I get a text from my gf, she's running late.  When i get to the venue I ask her "how late" and she says about 1/2 an hour. She's picking up our other 2 girlfriends. Do i sit out here in the car for half an hour like a baby when his gig starts in half hour, or do i go inside by myself (getting used to that) and find him, say hello ...
