dreams and reality

 last night i had a dream that Mr. Cigar was back in my life, and he had hair.

I kept looking at him, wondering what was different?  And then it occurred to me, the man has hair.  

No we weren't together, but he thought we were.  I felt disinterest.  And curious about what had changed.

What a weird dream.

Been thinking about Mr. Tatoo and how we met, our short interaction, the ongoing affection that went one way.......I may be in the same situation again, depending.

Meeting Mr.A tonight.  We've been talking for a couple of weeks, and we used to talk a lot more years ago, during the pandemic.  I "met" a lot of people on line then, like a lot of other people did.  We were supposed to meet, but never did.  I think i thought he was married.  Or I had someone i was seeing, it could have been anything  But he wasn't blocked.

He found me on Tik Tok, probably by accident? I'm not sure, but it's also not the first time this has happened.  He was hell bent on meeting me.  I told him i wasn't dating, he said fine, can we be friends? And i liked his persistence that does not feel like pushy.

Yet.

So tonight we meet up and i doubt it will end "friendly".  Lets see if the chemistry is real or not.  Again i think about Mr. Tattoo and the crazy sparks i felt as soon as i saw him.  I wish every date could be like that, then it would be easier to control myself.  But when those sparks hit, and i'm not talking butterflys i'm talking SPARKS.........i'm not passing that up.

For a long time i felt like i handled Mr. Tattoo the wrong way but i was being myself.  Always am.  I wasn't being strategic, there was no plan or goal.  I just enjoyed being with him and i let myself enjoy him.  I feel like that went against me in his eyes......like a quality woman wouldn't follow her wants and needs without withholding for an appropriate amount of time.  

Didn't work out with him, and that was his loss.  I'm a lot more than good sex.  But i did enjoy it.  Not regretting it.  I've done that one other time and it was good.  I didnt' like the man once i got to know him but the fire, the intensity......that was worth it.  I'm a grown woman with grown woman needs and i don't want to settle for a life partner just because i want sex sometimes.

I want the whole package.  I want Whole Foods, but sometimes i have to pick up a snack at the gas station..........to hold me over.

I hope this man turns out to be the whole package.  If not, no harm no foul.

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...
