Watch

 I'm stable and reliable........until it comes to men.

I have a girlfriend who i love dearly, and we both agree that she is extremely high maintenance.  She is a LOT.  And she has no luck with dating.  Even before she had her daughter she had nothing but drama in her love life.  

I'm starting to think thats me too.

I don't have drama with my friends or family.  Glitches once in a while, but never full out drama or confusion over our "status". 

When i'm single, there is literally no upset.  Even with work, and with uncertainty with life in general.....no personal drama.

Enter a man and i lose my mind. 

Am i controlling?  over myself, yes.  Am i negative? yes, when the situation is clearly negative.  But i'm also the one that always finds the bright spot.  I can always find the positive outcome from a shit situation.

Unless it's with a man.

Why.

I notice when something slips, when something has changed.  When things don't add up.  The problem is I voice it, and then they get defensive.  

What have i learned from previous experience?  When a question is avoided, or met with defensiveness or deflection........something is up.  Otherwise, a straight answer would be delivered.

So i watch.  And my guard goes up a little more instead of going down.  And i start to care a little less about the outcome, because me?  I'm not a fan of the unknown, or the unsure.

Good bad or ugly.......if he doesn't make it known where i stand with him, then i am not a priority.

Good to know.

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 ...

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. ...

Sunday funday

 I stayed in bed until 8am.  Yes, i was scrolling my phone, but still........i was in bed.  Also, i made coffee and brought it BACK to bed.....so yes, technically, i remained in bed until 8am. I have a hard time staying up past 9pm.  And then i can't sleep past 6:30 at the latest.  When did that happen? Yesterday, i was ready for bed by 7pm at the birthday party.   I got to hold, okay, i TOOK the 6 day old premie babie and cradled his little body for a longggg time.  I layed him in my lap so i could see him, and he could strettttttttch his tiny body.  This little boy, normally, would still be baking in the womb.......but here he is, tiny and mighty, in my lap.  His tiny hands, his tiny FEET.  OMG.  New mamma was happy to be with her family and socialize, but new daddy, stayed close.  He talked about all the things CJ does already.......sleep, eat, poop.   He is a very nice young man, very in tune with his sons wh...
