Took the dude out to the family cabin again in the forest. I feel like I really enjoy him here. He seems at his best here somehow . I think he really likes being out in nature.

I said I would NEVER bring this place " on grid " as far as communication goes BUT he has let me tether his phone and create this hot spot. Now I'm enjoying a coffee and SW and it's just so lovely ( admittedly ) haha . His phone carrier happens to be the only one that will work in the forest area. We are honestly pushing it with the season and have a risk of snow but we are hiding up here a couple days .

So we're watching TV and Bf got really quiet and paused and said "I have a confession." Immediately I'm thinking "You asshole!!!, I gave my heart and soul to you. I never never ever do that and you cheat on me.!!!" So I say "What is it?" He says "I bought a SSD for my computer. It was expensive. " I say "Oh? Okay."

There are a couple of things that i want to change in my life, and I'm just sitting here with anxiety about it. It's good stuff, and exciting in many ways, but... change is scary! I think i want to change industries / jobs. And i also want a platonic friend - something i haven't really ever had in my adult life. I just downloaded Bumble BFF. And i've started to work on my resume. Eek! Scary.

I don't live in a great area, but I never felt particularly unsafe around here either, until just now.

I took my dog in a direction we don't usually go this evening and we were out for about an hour. On the way back, I heard yelling coming from behind a fence and I stopped to listen because it sounded like it could get violent. It sounded like two brothers. They walk out from behind the fence and it's a ~16 year old and ~ 10 year old, so I assume I'm right and they're brothers. They walked out quickly, like the older one was pissed and stomping quickly, so I had to quickly pull my dog onto the grassy area out of their way. He kept barking and pulling at the leash and I didn't try to stop him too hard because I was focused on watching the boys. The older one says something to me and I realize after they walk off it was something like "Control your dog/control your damn dog". The older one kept yelling at his younger brother. I followed them because I had to go in that direction. Once they stomped off, my dog calmed down. After around a block, they turned around quickly and I again had to pull my dog quickly onto the grassy area, off the sidewalk. The older one now keeps yelling at me. Once they walk off, my dog keeps barking probably because I'm pissed at the kid now and staring at them. The older kid turns around, realizes I am still watching them and starts yelling again and starts saying something like "I oughta ***** you". I couldn't quite figure out what he was saying but I thought I was hearing "I oughta shoot you", but I realized after it could have been punch or anything. But it was definitely violent. I walk my dog through the public park often because there is a public trash can to throw his doo doo in, but I guess we will have to start avoiding it.

I’m going to force myself to watch all of the Saw movies without closing my eyes now that it’s Spooky Month. I don’t mind movies with a comical amount of blood or crazy realistic demons but I have a serious hangup when it comes to listening to bones breaking ....which happens a lot with this damn franchise. The crunch will play over and over again in my head, nonstop. Literally 23 times in a row I’ll see that one scene in my mind until I turn on a bunch of cartoons or something.

But I’m a big girl now. I can do this.

So my old roommate sent me a photo this morning… it was his bedroom, and the bed wasn’t made, the cat was on the pillow, there were some books, a clock, and a small lamp he’d bought when he was stationed in Korea some 19 years ago on his bedside table, there was a standing lamp with shelves on the other side of the bed, with a laptop and iPad on the shelves… I was already scanning the photo thoroughly by the time his next text came:

“Know what’s wrong with this photo?”

Me:

“You don’t make your bed? What a slob!”

Him: “No…”

After a few minutes more, I couldn’t figure it out, so I just asked him what it was.

“I DON’T HAVE A CAT”

UPS has a new feature called Follow My Delivery. I'm finding it amusing because I've been able to watch it go from the hub near my old dumpy apartment to the hospital less than a mile from me. They put a little truck icon that you can watch move. My package must be coming soon!

I WON'T suggest . I can't even RISK the pain of rejection this week.

I keep having a random compulsion to dump this dude. He treats me well but it must be SOMETHING .
I had better make a therapy appointment before I do it. I hope to NOT do it.
He hasn't really done anything. He treated me well on a 48 hour cabin date last Fri evening - Sunday evening.
That was a long date. The sin that I think is bothering me ..... not being here for sex ( it's Wednesday ).
Been together 7 weeks.
I am upset because I got him signed up for door dash using my link last Sat. ( he was bitching that he needed extra $ ) and he was ok to work today and just ........ didn't.

I just feel so unhappy even though he hasn't really done anything *that* wrong.

I think I'm going to end it.
It's an awfully large risk.
I am going mostly on a *feeling* knowing logically he didn't really do anything that bad.

But also .......... he asked me to be his gf three days ago ....... shouldn't a week of crazy sex all the time be included ? I am so confused. I mentioned being bored and horny tonight and he said " you have toys " .
Maybe I did it to myself. I can be a " taker " sexually but usually guys are fine with it hahaha and highly focused on getting me off.

I wish I wasn't SO bored in this situation ! I can't decide.
We had sex last Sunday which isn't that long ago . I wish he'd at least send me a naughty note or something if it's been 3 days of so since any attention !

…..How did this mix come about? It seems like someone was running a puppy mill for small popular breeds and he was a surprise result.

(My fave dog of all time was about 4 breeds mixed so I do approve, he lived about 15 years and was very smart/healthy.)

I was wrong, he is 50% Russell terrier, not Jack Russell. They are different. He looks like a Russell terrier. Only differences are he is a little bigger than they are typically and he has a curly tail.

He was surrendered by his original owner in a rural city known for being a puppy mill spot, so I always assumed he was born at one. I do notttt understand why people buy from back yard breeders, or certified breeders; regardless, my dog is a handful so from that perspective I cannot blame a novice owner from giving him up. I think he was crated too much as a puppy and thats why he can hold his potty for so long and is so reactive to everything.

Yes there are some gruesome terrible puppy mill stories out there. I used to be super friendly with a girl who was on a mission to prevent people from supporting puppy mill type operations. (Keep in mind in rural areas it's very profitable to breed purebred dogs. Also rich people who are big into hunting always have hunting breed dogs. It's a cultural thing I didn't really understand until I moved to the Midwest.)

On a related note, something funny happened yesterday that involved an attractive, most likely ex armed forces man JUDGING my driving hardcore.


So, I made a trip to our local no-kill shelter to give them a large birdcage I came across- this shelter takes ALL surrendered pets as we don't have funding here for more specific animal control/rescue beyond what the Police do.

It so happens the animal shelter is on the left side of a major highway so to get to it a driver has to go slow in the fast lane to slow down to make the left hand turn to get to the shelter parking lot.

SOOOOO I was doing this and a young guy in a HUGE truck that was hauling a large white trailer in the right hand lane just stared at me like he wanted to stare a hole through my head. I guess he was thinking,

Look at ding dong here going super slow in the fast lane, with a weird ass cage in the back of her car.

Once I noticed his rude stare, I also noticed a decal on his truck that looked like an (armed services) Rangers decal (I'm familiar with those because I partied with Rangers and a couple Green Berets a LONGGGG time ago.) So my stare-back turned into a look of confusion as to why someone would do that- in this area former armed forces people are everywhere, it just seems a bit much to put a decal like that on a huge truck (that ALSO had a Vanity plate.)

OK that's my random tangentally related story about a no kill shelter that is often "mopping up" the messes of our local backyard breeders and jerk pet owners. I hope Tough Guy reads the paper someday and figures out I was blocking the fast lane so I could go give equipment to a no-kill animal shelter.

After a long hiatus, I went back to American Horror Story and watched the 4th season. I powered through the first 3 seasons really quickly, and purely took a break because I just mentally needed a break from the gratuitous murder and violence, even if I loved the story.

But then everyone I talked to about how I was watching it started talking trash about season 4. How season 4 was the absolute worst, it's where the show lost a bunch of viewers, and telling me to just do myself a favor and skip it because it's not important. But I just hated the thought of skipping the entire season, so I put off watching it forever, thinking it would be torture to watch.

I honestly don't know what was so bad about it. It wasn't my absolute favorite, and I can see how it might be underwhelming after season 3 was my favorite, but I didn't dislike it at all. I wonder what people hated about it so much. All I could get out of anyone was that it was "boring." Idk, I disagree.

We made plans with a couple coworkers tonight, but I'm hoping they cancel. They've been trying to make plans with us for weeks, but all of us work/have kids all the time, so our schedules rarely sync. I offered tonight, and they said it would work but also that they were driving back from somewhere 4 hours away, so we had to give them a time to be back. I said "just nothing too late since we'll be tired from the weekend and have to work the next day" and one of them was immediately like "Well, we're not gonna RUSH back!" Well... no... that's not what I was implying. I was just asserting that I won't be leaving the house at 10pm on a Sunday. I'm just wiped out and hoping they lose track of time/get stuck in traffic and end up getting home too late so we can realistically cancel, cuz we both were talking last night about how tired we were and how we didn't think we'd really be up for a night out tonight.

OK ladies, I have a hard and fast rule about how I AVOID cops socially for lots of different reasons.

That being said, a few days ago I was driving and I came up on a horrific 3 car pileup on a busy city street- the cop who was directing traffic away from this and on to a side street was one of the most attractive guys I've ever seen in my lifetime. He looked a lot like the actor Chris Evans but Hot Cop was taller and had blond hair. I actually took my sweet time getting over to be re-directed to the side street b/c I was staring at this guy (which he is probably used to.)

Just had to share. By default I have a lack of smiles and favorable attention when I see a cop uniform so this was a surprising experience.

At 8 weeks of seeing someone , an 8 day gap is “ meh “ right?
It seems terribly unromantic to me but I’m trying to end my meltdown over it ( if I even can ).

We were both in the wrong . Could have been a 4 day pause instead ( he didn’t see me Thurs before I left town for the weekend ) . I was wrong too though for making break up threats. I called my parents crying over it and my dad said give it 2-3 days more and stop the break up talk for now.

He seems to have made a pretty bad case against himself the last 5 days or so. ;/

Originally what drew me to him was this huge sense of adventure ( I had done 5 years in Hawaii, he had done 5 years in Alaska ) .
He didn't run from my winter travel idea. He did his own research and seemed interested in going.
Then ..... cracks .......... he actually doesn't have a ton of cash saved ( I make enough for us both to go but haven't disclosed that ) . He let it slip he doesn't have a current passport ( WHO DOESN'T OMG ? WTF ? ) .

There are many ways it seemed like we just got along really well ( personalities blend .... we have done 1-2 day trips together and are great as a team ). We are both child free by choice . I am attracted to him ( 6'8'', blond / blue ) . I've mentioned my height preference / nearly fetish thing on here before. He has issues with his weight but it doesn't bother me that much ( I'm hoping he will lose some but he is hot to me even heavier ) .

He is often frozen in indecision / depression. I relate because I have been there myself and fought out and up many times. I will have a talk with him about how I won't be doing all the planning and initiating get togethers anymore . If he wants to save us, he needs to step in NOW.
