oh yeahhhh

 i'm feeling nyself baby!  Hit a goal this morning when i stepped on the scale.  Did a little happy dance, and now it's time to work on the next goal.  It feels good to see results.  Slowly.....but getting there.

Mr. FB texted me at 2pm yesterday saying he hadn't heard from me.  I ignored the text.  If he was actually wondering why he hadn't heard from me, he would have asked me in the morning.  Something better came up for him, and it didn't work out, so he reached back out to me.  I'm not slow Mr. FB.  Better luck next time....with someone else.

Yesterday i cleaned out my closet.  Literally.  The big scary one with all the stuff that has no other place to go lives.  My craft supplies.  I needed to evaluate what i have so i don't repurchase (no spend remember) and also, to throw away the stuff i've been holding on to for years but haven't actually used.  Now the closet is leaner, and i can find what i need easily.

I keep purging stuff i don't use because when i say i'm getting ready for van life, i'm not kidding.  I found a bunch of notebooks that i had written notes about van life so i merged them all into the one i had created with sections in a binder.  So now that is all in once place, easy to reach and add to.  



I also painted a birthday card for my granddaughter.  I started it over 5 times and i like the result, even if it's not "professional" .  I hope it will mean something to her if she keeps it.  This kid keeps everything I give her, which is why I really started thinking about what will age well with her.  Of course i had to get her fun stuff for her birthday, and comfy stuff.......she loves a good blanket.  Thats my girl.  Her mother may kill me over the shouting game i got for her but it's a sneaky way for her to learn while having fun and it will grow with her.  Loud Librarians.  Looks hysterical.  

Today i am supposed to clean and do chores.  I don't feel like it.  Screw it.  The floors and the laundry can wait until tomorrow.  I'm going to do some diamond dots and listen to a true crime podcast before i have to get ready to leave for a birthday party.  

My mood is picking up.  I hope i'm on the upswing and that it centers out at a good place and stays there for a while.  

I did some rearranging and setting up a cozy area for myself in the living room.  I'm ready for fall, snuggling down and reading, solving puzzles, and binge watching television when i'm not out having fun with my friends.

Let's go!

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. ...
