Omg. I am wishing my brothers turd of a step son wasn't here .
This is the 9 year old I've referenced before. He is so needy and obnoxious.
Oh well .... it is what it is. He is so loud . I just can not think of anything good to say. ;/
I have to keep the fact that I hate this kid a secret. I worry J will judge me if I disclose it ( his daughter is 2 years younger ). In what he says about the daughter though, I already have a feeling she is more mellow and mature than this kid.

Seriously considering trying to get into WoW again and make some online friends or something. Idk... the other day, I visited some friends I hadn’t seen since before Christmas, and while we kept it brief and full of physical distance because of the health risks, sitting there talking to them, I realized how boring my life has felt without regular social interaction. I really have become one of those adults with no time for friends anymore. I’ve been texting some more regularly but it would be nice to have something interactive to look forward to. And hubby used part of his tax return to buy an actual gaming laptop.

The weather is so weird. It was 70 yesterday. Today? 47 and it hailed so hard that it looked like snow.
I know, crazy weather! A couple of days ago, the was high of 93 and the low was 67.
BTW, I'm in south central Texas.

Been using my time off to watch a lot of Kung Fu movies, and now I’m convinced it’s my destiny to be a Shaolin Warrior.

I got kind of mad at J for not giving me a reminder that last night ( Thurs. ) was his night free .
His child care arrangements have been really clean / smooth.
It's a 50/50 plan 2-2-3. It was admittedly me that lost track.

Can someone advise ?
He treats me the best anyone has in 18 months ( after partner left ) and a year before that ( including the behavior of my long term partner the last year ). So ..... 2.5 years until I've been treated this good. Definitely need to keep a clear head here and maintain.

Random thought- I don't know why but a lot of what I learned in my EMT course is coming back to me now, after all these years. Must be the Universe trying to tell me something.

Baby must be going through a growth spurt. She has slept most of the day today. She wakes up to eat and then zonks back out. I'm thinking tonight is going to be a long night of her cluster feeding. I should try to nap now.

Have you ever had a flash back that is SO vivid inspired by a random object ?
My new love interest was saying he had the Ben and Jerry's ice cream Americone Dream. It was my ex's favorite. All of a sudden it was like " whoosh " in my mind and I'm back in the home we shared in Hawaii seeing J ( the ex ) smiling going to grab it out of the freezer. Like .... I could smell and hear everything in the room . So vivid. I almost had a melt down.
I wasn't sure I could have that ice cream with another person ! I was SO relieved that it *wasn't* Americone after all ...... he had grabbed the Tonight Show flavor.

That has happened to me before I'm like that with memories.
Now I want ice cream lol. The tonight dough ice cream has relationship memories for me too. I remember us looking for it everywhere because I saw it on tv .

Leave it up to me I guess to take a luxurious house sit and turn into obsessing over this dude.
I can not figure out if I want to see him. I've known him three weeks . He won't officially label it. I brought up the boundary convo ( monogamous or not ect. ) a couple nights ago. He's monogamous but the way he phrased it is making me nuts . He actually said something like " If it's helps I've been unintentionally monogamous to you " . That phrasing makes me feel he isn't confident he wants to stay that way.
Is that enough to just leave? I can't figure out what to do !

J , wtf is your problem?
You actually have SAID " you seem like you would be a great girlfriend ".
You have a week.
I'm lining up options .
Just BE a desert power couple with me. Haha.
PLUS .... we both work remotely. Do you have ANY IDEA how special that is ? ! ?

I can't figure out if I'm getting these drums out of sheer boredom or to impress J .
Maybe a combo. BUT ..... awhile back I was really good. I played on stage !
It can be my little creative outlet and sharpen my mind .
It is $580-$600 though ( I'm getting an electronic set that can be " turned down " to be able to play in this place ).
When I played J's set a couple times , I was just like " I can't believe I didn't maintain my playing !". I can still play too even though it's been years since practice. I'd love to have that refined and clean playing style I used to have though.

I have been in touch with another gent.
He’s very attractive. Dark eyes. Long dark hair.
Younger so I will assume energetic.
I would like a boyfriend but an acceptable alternate is a desert dick buffet I suppose.
Hey that’s a great band name “ Desert Dick Buffet “.

Random: Has anyone made their own candles?? I've been watching youtube tutorials, and how to make them in the microwave lols. I'm tired of buying candles....i love them tho. It's hard to find ones that our super scentful. Bath and Body works is my fave, also noticed the more expensive the better they smell x0 But wondering if i could get that same scent level making my own 0_0

I'm sitting here with a coffee now and just thinking that I have had the most delicious tapestry of lovers in the last 14-16 months.
Like ..... I am thinking of experiences with my favorites now and just kind of savoring those experiences. You have to be grateful for what you have.

I'm 43 and I dont think I can get pregnant. My last bf (now my ex) tried really hard but it didnt happen. I dont know if it's me or God is protecting me from not getting pregnant with the wrong guy
WendiStarr
04-17-2020, 01:59 PM
^ I didn't think I could get pregnant either and I have 2 kids now, 10 years apart. There's test kits you can buy to see if you're ovulating and there's also tests to check your ovarian reserve and hormone levels. You might want to look into them if you want to have kids, just in case.

Haven't posted on here in 2 years! It's crazy to think how much my life has changed. I'm working a vanilla job (luckily real estate is deemed 'essential' in my state, so feel very blessed to have a job right now) and in an amazing relationship that's headed towards marriage and kids.
I had been through a lot of shit as a dancer and feel like I came out the other end unscathed. Definitely don't regret that part of my life but happy to have moved on from it!
Also, I hope everyone is making it through this COVID thing okay. I've been thinking lately that if this hit while I was dancing full time and single I personally would've been screwed. Who would've seen this coming!

This is a challenging day. ;/
I'm still bleeding. I guess this period is 5 days. Sometimes I get lucky and it's like 4 .
I just don't feel sexy. I want to see J but I feel anxious too ( basically I know if he won't offer a relationship .... like gf or even primary poly type partner set up ) I will have to leave . Like ......I just on *one hand* know he cares. Either he is the BEST actor in the entire world or he cares.
I just don't want to be one of those women trying to hoping their guy will get more serious at 3 + months.
I know a month might seem like a short time to really need the bf label or to need the guy to not be on your calendar anymore but I *know* what I want . I am after a partnership and " building " something together.
On one hand I just feel so sad that at three weeks he wasn't like " fuck yeah, lets do this " . On the other, I respect some people moving slower .

Bf is really pushing the whole moving into a house together thing. I'm not opposed to it because I've been wanting him to start acting right for a while now. I'm just feeling a bit skeptical. He said he senses some hesitancy from me. Well, maybe the fact that he was so wishy washy during my pregnancy with our baby and since her birth has caused me to have trouble believing that he really wants to be there 100%. Before he kept using the "I need my own place to be alone" and now, almost 3 months later he's all ,"I want to be with you and be a family". I'm going to make sure that both our names are on the papers when we move in. My worry is that he's going to change his mind and try to kick me and the kids out. I don't want to have to worry about him kicking us out and having to scramble to find a place to live again. I told him he better make sure that he wants us 100%. No more pulling any Houdini disappearing acts or trying to "work things out" with his ex.

^ Most likely. Miscarriages are Nature's way of saying a pregnancy shouldn't really come to term.
Random thought- who thought a meat thermometer would be a saving grace for the evening? I didn't. Thank Goodness for paying attention in high school!

After what happened with my grandma I am officially ready to level up. So our personal IT guy comes over she wanted to get her WiFi printer fixed but genius kept stalling on getting the internet fixed so he comes over and can’t do shit for her. He does, however, have an extra Toshiba screen for me so she got nothing and I got my computer fixed
Brb with the rest of the story

As the IT guy is fixing the screen she admits that a car that she bought for me is not working.

04-20-2020, 08:48 AM
In other words if she wasn’t at her wits end with her life/the car (which you do nothing to fix) I woulda been dumbass still waiting for a Jeep. There are other appliances that she says I’m gonna get that I end up not getting. That she offered to help me with like a older washer/dryer. The excuse for that is “it’ll send up my electric bill too much” girl what?!?!
Then why you even offer to give me the shit?!

04-20-2020, 08:51 AM
What really did it is the fact that she was willing to move me downstairs with my aunt and her crack headed boyfriend to “save money” so fuck my safety (for the sake of money) huh ?!?
Girl no once her internet gets fixed I AM DONE

One of the cats is outside the bedroom door whining because he's so sad he can't be in here. I feel bad, but at the same time, it's his own punk-ass fault. He deliberately terrorizes the smallest cat the second he sees her. That's why he's not allowed in here anymore - to give her a safe space. If he didn't launch at her and hunt her down the second he was allowed in here, he wouldn't be locked out!

I decided to give Animal Crossing a try since it's so popular. I've played it for a week now, and Idk, it's alright I guess. I just don't really know what else I'm supposed to be doing. Everyone I know is SUPER into it, like using "time travel" to accomplish things and spending hours "terra-forming?" I got the online membership for Switch so that I could visit friends' islands and stuff, but I didn't realize you literally could only go during the specified time that they invite you. People are sending me messages, asking about my turnip prices?? I haven't gotten that far yet lol
I'm usually not a fan of sandbox games. I like plots and storylines with objectives.

Just because he's strong and resilient doesn't mean I should expect him to put up with all my shit. Our time in quarantine and dealing with crazy relatives in our space has reminded me of that. Don't take him for granted.
