Do you have to be sad to create art?

 The dark cloud is still hanging over my head.  I wear my red lipstick, i plaster on a smile and i head out the door to go to work and pretend all is right with the world in my head.

It's not that anything is wrong.  It's just........not right.  I'm just sad.  short tempered.  Thats just how it is right now, and it will eventually pass.  

Last night i pulled out my Dirt shirt.....thats the bands name, and I haven't done anything to the shirt since it was given to me.  I needed to cut it up, add some me to it so i can wear it Friday night.  So i started cutting, and then i got freaked out because i "messed it up" and thought "how can i fix this mess" so i grabbed my box of doo da's and found a heavier chain necklace, grabbed my box of safety pins and went to town.  While i was doing it i was concerned that this is more of a punk look....and then i decided i like it and if anyone else doesn't, that is none of my business.  

Funny that i've been planning this outfit since i found out i was going.  But i have a few versions because i know Jen is going to veto my favorite wide leg army pants........she thinks they are too big, BUT i love the pockets!  So i'm gonna try to get them past her, but i also brought my trusty ripped black jeans and i will wear fishnets under them because they are REALLY ripped. My favorite platform maroon patent leather army boots.....and i'm ready to go.  I might just texture the hair up and let it be crazy- and of course the black eyes.  Done.

Perhaps i will have fun and feel good.  I will look like it, at the very least.

I found a beautiful second hand leather jacket on line but i won't buy it.  I'm in between sizes and losing weight steadily so i don't want to buy anything major until i hit my goal. I don't even know what main goal is to be honest.  For me, size 10.  For my doc, who knows.  I know where i feel good, and thats it for me.  

My physical therapist is a wonderful person and has been a huge support to my progress.  She will get me on that trail next year, and i will hike it like it's nothing.  That last big hill will not make me have anxiety, i will strut my ass right to the top and then i'll give the finger to it. Double fingers.  I only wish Mr. Cigar was a different guy and that he could be there to see the difference....so i could give HIM double middle fingers.  Maybe drop my pants so he can kiss my ass.

The thought makes me feel nice.  I like it.

Anyways, thats my goal with the physical therapy ....that trail is waiting for me.  

My latest achievement, which is less than perfect, is walking up my steps without holding the railing.  Sad, isn't it.  But for me, it's something.  I try not to think about it (because most of my problem is in my head) and just go up.  No holdsys.  It's a balance thing and a security thing.  I'm working on it slowly.

My ass is starting to pop out......hehehehe.  Welcome home honey.  

Big weekend ahead.  Trying to look forward to it.  I'm entertaining Saturday night - cooking steaks on the grill for my friends.  What the actual fuck was i thinking?

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 ...
