Coo Coo

 I'm taking a back seat to any emerging emotions that arise within the next few days.....

Being transparent with someone you are dating has limits and should be equal.  I know he is into me, but he hasn't jumped and it may take time, or it may not happen.  And either way, that is out of my control.

Control being a bigger issue for me than i realized.

I haven't been controlling the pace of this relationship, always chomping at the bit.  His bit.  Yesterday i had some time to sit with myself and do some thinking. It started as a spiral, i won't lie.  A continuation of the previous nights anxious thoughts and emotions.

I tried to bully him into a stance.  Nope.  He's not falling for that.  

He is in control of this relationship.  BUT I am in control of myself.  At least, i need to be.  This relationship is not the be all end all of my life.  It will happen, or it won't. I will trust myself to make the right choices.

My life goes on regardless.  I continue to learn more and do better at work.  Lots of changes happening now, and thats where my focus needs to be.......on excelling.  Work supports my life.  It takes top priority.


My health- the weight keeps coming off and as much as i hate exercising, i'm seeing the effort pay off.  I was so bad i could only go upstairs one at a time.  Now i'm doing it like normal people, although slowly.  And i don't allow myself to hold the railing most of the time.  Slow and steady.  Get stronger.  At work, i walk around the hospital at every opportunity use the stairs instead of the elevator...i'm bringing my food to work to control what i eat.  I'm drinking water.  I'm getting as much sleep as i can.

And i'm pampering my body with lotions and oils and good smells because it makes me happy.  Whether i am gong out or not.  I used to save all that stuff for "special" but not anymore.  I'm special.

My friends are getting restless with my not being around very often so that needs to be kept up.  They arent' quiet about it, like my kids are.  My friends demand and guilt trip.  When i go on vacation in July I will concentrate 100% on relaxing and enjoying myself.  I will not be obsessed with why or why not i haven't heard from Mr. Cigar.

I will not fall into that trap again.  He is part of my life, if it works out between us.  Not my every waking moment.  I've been divorced and been through a bad break up .......i don't think anything he does can hurt me more than that, so its time to relax into it and enjoy.  Fine, take the wheel.  I'll go for a ride but i'm not giving up my car.

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 ...

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. ...
