Third wheel isn't so bad

 I spent the weekend away again - actually worked from Milford in order to beat the traffic that ususally makes the one hour ride, two hours.   Neither of my friends were home, i was told to just make myself at home.

So i set up shop at their kitchen table and worked until it was time to stop.  Read my book and cuddled in the recliner with Miyagi until they arrived home.  

If you had told me i would be spending many of my weekends with this couple I wouldn't have believed you. I'm a homebody.  I like my space, my quiet, my no answering to or having to talk to anyone.  And yet, I'm never stressed out with them.  They are family.

Saturday i had my very first massage that wasn't part of physical therapy.  Jen took me, and laughed when i kept saying "1 and 1/2 hours?  And i have to take my clothes off?".....she told me to relax and stop it.  Just do it.  Well we did and let me tell you.........i'll be doing it again.  That was lovely.

And then Saturday night Shenanigans (whats left of us) arrived and we drank and ate and kept changing the music on Alexa while we played games.  We had a little fun poking at somebody who has recently detached from us due to politics.  

So dumb.  But okay, byeeeeeee.

Once you turn your back on me and walk away i'm all set.  No chasing, no upset, just done.  I've spent too many years of my life chasing people who weren't worthy of my time - and if you can't use your words and have an adult conversation with me about whatever it is bothering you, and your choice is to disappear?  Stay gone.  You were never a friend to me.

I keep my friends, wether they see me a lot, or only talk to me once a year, they are my friend.  If i called them in need, they would be there. If they called me in need, i would be there.  Time means nothing.  Actions and how you show up for each other mean everything.

And if i can laugh and be myself with you that's saying a LOT.  I'm a slow warm.

Give me an ultimatum; tell me i can't associate with someone without losing you?  Bye. Thats not how i live.  I never fit into any one group in my life and i'm not starting now.

It will hurt.  And then it won't.  Life goes on.

Anyways- I fell off the dating cart again.  I can't seem to drum up any interest or time.  It could be the men, but more likely it's me.  I'm busy.  I'm happy.  I'm living life without drama.  

Mr. Music will become a friend i think.  I'm going to see him play this weekend and that should be fun.  He's a muscian so he has a lot of friends/acquaintances.  I'm not sure there would  be room in his life for anything more and i don't know how i would handle all the adoring females.  Putting the cart ahead of me again, although, he does seem to be interested in continuing to talk and meet. Who knows. Maybe he has a big ego and won't like that i'm not googoo over him because of his career.  Not much impresses me beyond being a good person.  He does seem like that so far.

Back to work week.  It's my busy  time so i'm brain tired.

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 ...
