so lucky

Friend did NOT blow me off, and did in fact go check on my kitty while I was away.  Words from my previous blog, eaten.  I was wrong.

Good thing too because we extended our stay in Florida, totaling 9 days away!  It rained quite a bit so not every day was spent on the beach but we managed to get our time in.  We even got a couple of hours in at the Nudie Beach before the skies turned black and the thunder chased us off the beach.  The waves were incredible.  This time, I was smart and stayed out of the water and did NOT almost drown in the nude.  Although, it would be exactly how I entered this world, it's not how I want to leave it.

I love New Smyrna Beach and the friends that invited me to go with them and stay at their home for a second year.  I was sad to leave.  Usually after a few days with someone i'm ready for some alone time but we three vibe so well and naturally that not once did I feel stressed out.  I hope it was the same for them.  They are so generous and laid back.  They've already invited me again for next year!

We spent time on the beach, rented a boat for the day, went shopping, had a bar crawl night, and they treated me to The Garlic which is my most favorite restaurant.  We had ice cream at a Dairy Queen built in the 1950's (several times) and took rides around Daytona and surrounding towns doing some site seeing aka looking at rich people homes.  

I slept like a baby every night and woke up refreshed and ready to go - coffee was always ready for a pour.  We drank.  A lot.  And gummied.  A lot.  I lathered on Ben Gay and tried to keep up with the youngsters.  I felt completely taken care of, not in a charity way, but a family way.

Miyagi basked in the air conditioning while we were at the beach but he came with us out and about.  He wasn't too sure about the yard and was NOT impressed with the beach at all.

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 ...
