Finally went to the DR then spent half the day at the hospital doing tests. Nothing serious I should be ok .Dr wanted to look at another test , but ER doctor didn't think needed . I would of have to stay at hospital all night to do more stuff. Then had to wait a hour for my meds at pharmacy. I'm so tired but in general eating more. They said I shouldn't work tomorrow and gave me note . I'm hoping to start going for my walks again.

I hope you are okay! I'm trying to get back into walking regularly too. I may have to go back to my indoor walks when it starts getting cold again.

^ Damn based on what you described a cool 1k seems pretty nice. :)
I mean of course if he's got more to give ..... haha ....
LOL, he’s loaded with money, flies around in private jets and works on restructuring businesses, if I’ve got it right. But, yeah I’m very happy with that amount and I feel like I shouldn’t push it too far. I mean, it’s no physical contact!

Finally got that sorted. Mercyful Fate is reformed and touring along with Midnight and Kreator, and they’re not coming to North Carolina. So the two closest locations are either Silver Spring, MD on the 8th or Atlanta on the 16th, so I pushed for Atlanta and that’s what we all eventually agreed on. And now K wants to go because their bassist is touring with his other band, so they brought in a woman named Becky Baldwin as their touring bassist, and of K wants to ‘study’ her.
Speaking of, K and some of her friends are hosting a Weird Al themed party tomorrow, and we’re scrambling to put something together to wear for that.

YESS! I have been using the hell out of coupon codes for every site I go on. I saved on Chewy, Defunkify (laundry detergent that I love) and my 2 year old's daycare photos. Do we have a savings thread? I feel like I'm going to turn into an extreme couponer over here lol. But it has seriously made me so happy cause this is all stuff I need (yes, pictures of my kids are a non-negotiable).
I wish we could use coupon codes on Amazon.

Nice. I'm feeling vibes of being FURIOUS at my former partner. Lol .
I'm no where near the area we shared but planted 35 minutes away .
Maybe it's being in the *vicinity*.
Obviously I need a new friend.
I honestly probably want $$$ over company.
I wouldn't mind both ha.
Maybe a few days for each ?
I need two of me. One to go the club and get money and the other to have a life !

One of my former SD's dropped off a kid couch and toys for the kids. I was shocked to see how much weight he has gained. That was the 2nd man from my past, that I was surprised to see in person this year that they've gained like 100lbs since I last saw them before the pandemic. It's just strange to see a former bodybuilder so fat now. Ah well. My body isn't the same either from 3 back to back pregnancies and gaining and losing pregnancy weight, all within 2 years. Life is odd.

I'm not going to work tonight. Last night was awesome but I don't think tonight will be. There's a Miami vs FSU game which is apparently a huge deal, and I've noticed it's usually rough when there's a major sporting event. I can already see it with all the traffic on the road and all the grocery stores are packed with people picking up stuff for the game.

I feels hard to get organized today and Sun - Tues is more risky ( scared there won't be enough people in there ).
Aiming there anyway.

A while back I saw a picture of my bd from when he had a courthouse wedding to Baby's Mama #1,000, and he put on a lot of weight.

I did agree to meet someone for a date.
Next Sat. I think.
I think he was going for a little sooner but I didn't want to give up this little extra time in the warmer area.
I don't know. He caught my eye and is 6'6'' .
I was looking for someone who could make conversation for a couple days and then make a move to meet and he passed very well.

I wrote the Aviator too .
It was on FB haha but we are not friends so I don't think he saw it.
Now I'm embarrassed that a year from now he will check the " other " folder and get this Ego boost haha.
I don't think I intend to find his number in my old phone ( or his website ha ) , it was a whim message.

Studio next week, then my parents the next week for Thanksgiving. Die Führerein already declared she was kicking myself and others out of the kitchen (my own kitchen, mind you) because she knew it was difficult for our mother to watch all of the preparations and cooking going on and not have any active role in it. i hate to say it, but I think she’s right about that.
She suggested that I do a turkey on the grill or smoker outside, so I might do as my neighbor did, inject one, smoke it for an hour and a half, and then finish it off in a deep fryer for a few minutes.

Yesterday I went a little nuts getting upset about not having touch and cuddles ect. !
I think there were some tears. I was SO damn upset.
I will ban myself from time alone after 5 p.m. for the next few days .
I have to be OUT 5:30 - 8 p.m. whether it's just getting dolled up for a solo meal or at the gym.
I can be anywhere but here.
I thought I was doing a good job being proactive about self care.
I discovered the after 5 p.m. time is when I am really going haywire lately and have to be aware.
As women ..... don't we really hold all the cards anyway ?
Like .... I'm CERTAIN I could get these cuddles and things it's probably just a matter of asking.

I need to start creating new content every night once the kids are asleep. I think that'll help my income flow. It's just fighting through the exhaustion by nightime after being a single mombie 24/7 that prevents me from being as productive as I should.
chanzep
11-07-2022, 05:02 PM
I'm not surprised your exhausted being a single mom to 3 plus you just moved and went through hell. I'm sure you will be able to get back to it soon , but don't be so hard on yourself in sure its a lot of mental exhaustion too. I remember being surprised you were able to go to a club the other week you are a very strong woman . Your kids are blessed to have such a good mom going hard.

S and her girlfriend… I’m about to kick both of their asses. Last night, I was in the kitchen talking to L and the Irish woman, and S’s girlfriend comes up to me and says, “Hey, queen kitty” and I’m just baffled… I’ve let those two get away with some shit, but they’ve never tried giving me cutesy pet names before, so I said to her, “Why are you being a horse’s ass?”. Then I hear laughter from outside the kitchen and I see S and the new girl standing by the stairs and S has her phone in her hand. So I turned the faucet on, got a handful of water, and flung it at S’s girlfriend, and those three ran downstairs laughing. So as I was looking through TikTok just now, I see these two and the caption, “Calling our ‘prison mom’ whatever it lands on”, and there were random words scrolling through which stopped on “queen kitty”. Then it cuts to the video of S’s girlfriend doing that to me and my reaction, and they continued recording as they ran downstairs, so they caught where I yelled, “You jackasses!” as they ran off.

The hack worked.
Dinner out.
Then a tea at the place a mile from the AirBnB .
No meltdown. Nice.
I almost was like ..... well ..... if you are not just going to relax GO TO THE CLUB .
It's not the same though is it ? 2.5 hours out and a nice evening is not exactly the same as having the club guys pulling at you or potentially starting at an empty club ( scary ). :/

11-07-2022, 08:32 PM
I'm trying to get creative and I asked in the AirBnB owners group if anyone wanted to just sell me their remaining dates in the next 21-30 days. Kind of give me a deal on whatever dates are left unsold IN the city.
I hope someone bites and gives me a good offer . I don't even need the days to be all in one chunk. I can vacate if they have sold 3-4 days in the middle of my stay , ha.

I'm trying hard to come out of the funk with some success.
Took the dog on a long walk. I'll work 4-5 hours from the airbnb.
I booked a wash / style at the beauty school.
It's taco tues. which I love. ha
I sort of hope the tall guy cancels the date.
I could live at the club Wed. - Sat. every night trying to rustle something up lol .
It just felt like I had a million to do's and now my list is getting done .
I've got time on my hands !
I'm not in danger on not paying bills ( I'm 50% to my monthly goal and it's only the 8th of the month ) it is more just feeling greedy I think haha.

I'm really glad I hit my mid point ish goal for the month already.
I'm a little lost now with what to do with myself , ha !
I also am realizing it probably ISN'T just random that I'm having the best $$ 3-4 weeks that I've seen in the last 6 months.
I've been solo without my partner the last 3-4 weeks. It could just be a quirk but a few more months I guess would give me more info.
I wonder if it would be ok if I just kind of kick back and enjoy life in the next 2-3 weeks ? Like .... of course keep my phone on ha but not just have that HARD hustle I normally do ?

I've read a few things that COVID altered a lot of women's menstrual cycles. I believe it. Mine has never been the same since getting COVID. It's like my PMS symptoms drag on for weeks, and my period finally shows up with 6-8 week between cycles. I used to have abnormal cycles, but they've been steady since hitting my 30s.

I feel good about something today. A couple weeks back, one of my bandmates in my regular band has a little home studio set up in his basement and some of his daughter’s friends had a band and they were doing a live recording so they could have something to show for what they’ve done in trying to get gigs. And I really liked their lead singer’s voice and want her to do some backing vocals when I do my solo album. Which she agreed to… thought I lost her when I played her the scratch tracks I’d recorded, but she’s giddy about being on a published release, so she didn’t back out. So, I can’t take credit for this because it was really more K’s doing, but the brewery which K knows the owners or are doing a showcase night of their band and some other teenage garage bands, and it’ll be their first live gig. But they have a friend and she knows how to play guitar, but can’t afford an electric guitar and amp. So they wanted to sell CD-Rs of what they recorded in that basement for to buy her a guitar, and amp, presumably a couple pedals. So I plugged them in my social media accounts, “They’re trying to do a good thing here, and if you can, I’m asking you to pay generously” (there’s a minimum price for the CD-Rs, but you can more if you’re feeling generous), and it worked… they raised enough not only to buy their friend the guitar and accessories, but also to get some t-shirts printed. And she sent me videos of them presenting her with this guitar (of course it’s a Stratocaster… little fucking hipsters) and also of her playing it and just how overwhelmed and happy this girl seemed. It was heartwarming. And they’re telling me I drove a lot of traffic their way, so I feel warm and fuzzy about this.

I'm experiencing cringe for my old life .......
J being needy ...... taking so much time ....
then getting mad I didn't give his child a lot of time ( I actually thought I was giving enough as well )
I just had this convo with my friend V ( the one who kept her condo for 5 years while her partners kids grew up lol ) !
She saw my post about being out of the breakup closet and reached out.
It was nice to talk to someone who gets the struggle.
She said her partner left her like 2-3 times in their early days for not being " into “ his kids enough.

^ I'm sorry you had to go through all that, but I hope life is better now. Honestly, that sounds offensive to me - "I'm leaving you because you're not into my kids enough" WTF. As long as you are kind etc I don't know what they want? A built in babysitter? I kind of think that's how it is with most men.
It's not YOUR kid, so IDK why in fucks name they expect you to feel the exact same way about them. I love my girls, but they are MINE. I don't expect everyone else to view them the same as I do.

I was nice to his daughter and was spending about 2 days a week doing something with them ( he had her 3-4 days a week 50/50 custody).
I think J really needed some help.
He LOVED that I didn't have kids but could also never understand my side of the struggles we had.

I had to go over there today.
I mean ..... I made it today ( had to gather up the strength sometime ).
My Dad was supposed to get some plants for me but didn't get them 4-5 days ago when he was here. :(
Anyway ...... I got them.
I was able to say " goodbye " to the house.
The house always had this magnetic PULL on me.
I was trying to figure out WHY it meant so much.
It's heart breaking to me I'm not a resident of that house anymore but I needed a minute to say goodbye too.
My packing day was so rushed.
