Front of the bus

 Had to go down the hill today and pick up my new fancy orthotics........sexy.

I took the shuttle and my favorite driver Reggie was working.  One stop away and we picked up Darryl........and i proceeded to accuse him of riding around with Reggie all day because we are always seeing each other on the shuttle.

It feels good to laugh and be silly for a couple of minutes with a couple of nice guys that want nothing from me.  

And to see people in the hallway and be friendly.

Not too friendly.  I'm protective of my reputation.  This is work. I stay away from the cliques and pockets of people who talk too much.

But it sure does feel good to see nice people and have them be happy to see you.

Tonight is dinner with one of my girlfriends who i only see a few times a year now.  We used to see each other daily when i lived in Wolcott and our lives were so intertwined.  I miss her.  I miss her husband and children.  I don't miss that time period of stress and chaos with the 13 year ex.

Thats his name now.  I think i will call him that to his face. ha.

I'm cooking this weekend and Sunday i'm going on a hike.  I hope the weather holds.  I'm looking foward to it.  Oh, and i think i made plans for saturday but i'm not sure.

i'm forgetting to write things down for my personal life.

I'm sure i'm about to offend someone.

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. ...
