That reminds me of how Santa Cruz was getting years ago when I left. I was so desperate once I actually tried getting it but the girls told me they had "several" people looking at it & needed to interview everyone *eyeroll*

I’ve been some shows with K… it was going to be a one off thing, mostly to get a rise out of my sister with the ‘Potato Cats’ song, but we just kinda been keeping at it. Just stuff at breweries, wine bars, cafes, etc. Not really my thing, definitely not my crowd… I’ve never been fond of hipsters… but it’s been more enjoyable than I expected it to be. I even got K and the others to do an Iron Maiden cover… we do “Remember Tomorrow” with a banjo, violin, acoustic bass, and a cajon kit for percussion. I wanted to do G.G. Allin’s “Son of Evil” because I thought it would be hilarious to get a bunch of hipsters to take an interest in G.G., start looking him up online, and reacting to what they found, but K vetoed that idea.

The Amish girl’s in an emotionally needy phase again. I woke up when she came in here because she couldn’t sleep. Now she’s asleep and I haven’t been able to get back to sleep. I should probably make more of an effort than I am right now, though.

I literally am convinced my dog thinks he's human. He loves sharing my pillow and we slept the whole night and I woke up to staring at him in the same position with his head on my pillow next to me with the blanket tucked in over us. It was hilarious to wake up to.

Other than that b.s, how did you like living in Santa Cruz?
Last year at a divorce ( yard sale), I met a woman from there.
She was here in the desert helping her friend with the sale.

I spent some time talking with her. Cool lady.
While she and I were sweating our tits off (it was 100, and even hot in the house), she told me how much she loved it, and that she could never live here in the desert.
Yeah, join the club.:'(

Have you ever been to the crooked house? I forgot what it's called.

It was interesting and tough at the same time which is why I think I enjoyed it so much. I was always living in hotels and one time ,a weird curtained off portion of a living room in this these people's apartment. I basically had no friends. I would just go to the same hangout spot all the time and meet random people which was fine , but it got old hence why I left. Not to mention how expensive it got there and hard to find any sort of decent housing. I kind of miss living in California but then again I have friends where I am now here in New York so it's not really comparable. The weather in SC was awesome though. I was never too hot. The other cool thing was that I could basically walk everywhere if I lived in the downtown area.

I had my first appointment with a therapist. I thought that it was going to be a woman but it was a man. I was a complete mess when he asked,"Why are you here?" I told him about BD and the abuse and the miscarriage. I am willing to bet that that guy went straight to the bar for a cold one or 4, after my session. I seen him leave when I was leaving.

Yeah, living in close ( walking) proximity to where everything is sounds great.
After I met her, I did a search on YouTube for Santa Cruz walking tours.
Looks like a lovely and quaint town.
I live where everything is a block or 2 away.

LOL…he’s probably heard it all. This is common for women to experience what you went through. We just don’t talk about it because our society is totally okay with making women assume responsibility for all the trauma men cause women. The level of abuse might be more, but it’s way more common than people think.

Most families are dysfunctional therefore unless people won the golden ticket of coming from a good home you can bet they have issues. It’s not a matter of if people have issues it’s what type of issues they have.

I hope your therapy goes well. I’m proud of you! You were dealt a shitty hand-at least from what you’ve shared here. I hope you get to experience the peace that comes from not dealing with a toxic man in your home.

I had to go to the mall today but wayyy earlier than I usually do, and there was a lot of people there, probably for the AC to get relief from the heat. I was spotted by someone I went to highschool with, I thought I was unrecognizable and hidden with my baseball cap and wearing all black..she said I haven't aged lol and told me to add her on Facebook and go for drinks one day too. I don't know if she's serious but I guess I'll add her. I'm so anti social now it felt so weird and awkward even having a conversation with her ughh

Since I'm 3 weeks post loss, the doctor told me to take a pregnancy test just to make sure that my hcg is going down like it's supposed to. It was negative which is good because that means hcg is either at 0 or close to it and my body is close to returning back to normal, but at the same time it made me sad to see a negative. I would've been almost 18 weeks now.

I lived a couple blocks from a mall in Hawaii and when it was muggy I'd go wander it and go to a movie.
They also had those massage chairs that actually do a good job !
Then I made my partner buy a window AC unit haha.

BUT I still loved the mall. It's the closest I've ever lived to a mall.

My 12 year old daughter has Covid. And I definitely blame myself.

I homeschooled them (my three girls) for two years to avoid this. And as soon as I decide to re-enroll them into the public school system again, it happens. The fucking odds.

My eldest has a disability that requires immunosuppressive medication and I just didn’t want her to have to deal with something like Covid when her body is already attacking itself. We’re all overdue for our booster shots so I took two of my girls and myself to a local CVS to get that taken care of. I wasn’t allowed to take my eldest, per her doctors instructions, because this is her week of medication so I’d have to wait the following week. Then, boom. Out of nowhere she doesn’t want to stand up or eat or talk to anybody. I feel like I waited too fucking long. Why the hell didn’t I do this booster shot shit weeks ago?

Someone in my immediate family passed when they caught Covid because they also had a weakened immune system so I have an irrationally unbalanced level of fear for the possible outcomes here. Needless to say, my nerves are basically shot and will be for the next two weeks.

I know that the vaccine isn’t a bullet-proof vest. It was never designed to be. But I’ve always told my girls that we are vaccinated to lower the chances of getting INCREDIBLY sick, that is all. If we catch Covid and have to deal with a headache and loss of appetite then that’s better than being hospitalized and toying with death. I just feel like my daughter getting the booster in time would have definitely aided her right now in lowering the amount of discomfort she’s going thru. I wish I had done what I was supposed to do to lessen her pain :(

I feel bad but a lot of the talk when I see J's sister ( she is around my age ) is being single but not WANTING to be.

She is putting effort out ( dating sites / attending meet ups ) BUT I noticed a key thing and I hate that I can't say anything.
She dresses pretty badly at times. Like for example she went out with us ( to a downtown area and we did a comedy club ) and she wore a t-shirt and these shorts that I couldn't figure out what they were . They sort of looked like jeans but also kind of like work out shorts ? I don't get it because it take the the SAME amount of time to put on pants that are well tailored OR a dress that is well fitting.

I kind of hate that she is not doing the dressing better thing for herself because she wants one of the " 6 figure + " guys from what I gather.
She is successful herself and makes over 6 figures too.
I am NOT mentioning what I've observed to J or her .
I don't think she is realizing the guys who are at her own professional caliber are looking right PAST her based on what she is doing.

One of my coworkers owns some land around Laurinburg, so we had a get together Saturday where we went down there to have a big cookout and shoot guns. New girl went with, and I’m pretty sure a former coworker in attendance (who retired a little over three years ago) was tickled pink that he was able to teach her, since his own kids never took an interest in it. Pretty good day, though I think new girl and I both were more about the food… he has a grill, flat top, and smoker on the property, and I feel like I really need to get a smoker now. Even basic hot dogs became next level after a run through that thing.

It's a bitch, isn't it?
Luckily there's a few 'natural' things you can take to avoid hot flashes while in perimenopause/menopause.

My body has always run a few degrees hotter than most people I know.
But, I hate the cold too.
Extremes in temps mess with my moods.
I grew up in snow, so that probably has something to do with it.
