And here I am, a day late again. I was excited earlier this week – I got my 6 month lab work back and everything looked good – um, except cholesterol, which was high and she wants me to start on statins. Which I still don’t want to. We’re negotiating. Vitamin D levels were low, so I’ve started taking that too, which might help my energy level.
Step count is 5,200, which isn’t too shabby. I’ve been trying to take a break and do a 10 or 20 minute walk throughout the day. Actually, I’ve only done it once or twice a day so far, but that’s better than not doing it at all. I just need to keep plugging away at it and not get irritated with myself and quit.
I ‘m moving forward on the job i applied for – well, it’s contract labor, not a job. But that’s good. I think it will be enough to help financially without taking so much of my time that I can’t work on building my practice. And I think it will be fun and interesting. So that’s exciting. I still have to do one more interview type thing – actually, it’s a mock coaching session, and I don’t expect to have any problem with that.
I have an unusual weekend ahead of me. Sir has gone back to Where-we-used-to-Live – he left last night and will be back Monday night. It’s about 11 hours on the road each way, so I think he’s kind of nuts. I’d like to go back for a visit, and might do it when the cheap airline starts running again in March. But he’s really going to see his grandkids and a friend – and to go a to a SuperBowl party. I probably don’t need to tell you that I have NO desire to go the party (and um, wasn’t actually invited. I don’t think women go to it at all, at least not that I can imagine.) Anyhow, I’m glad he’s going, it will be nice for him and I don’t envy him the drive.
My daughter has a full dance card this weekend too – kids are doing an overnight at a friends so she can go out to a semi-fun, semi-networking event tonight. She is involved in an activity that meets on Sunday and I’ll babysit. But right now I I have the house completely to myself -and will have for the rest of the day. You can not imagine how unusual that is. Sometimes, there’s 30 minutes that everyone else is gone but this is luxurious hours all to myself. I don’t even know what I”m going to do with myself. It’s very exciting.
Tomorrow afternoon, I’m going to a networking event myself. Should be interesting… Now I just have to figure out what to wear.
As you may have noticed, the whole BDSM thing has faded back out of my relationship again. Sir is still doing better in other ways, which is cool, and we’re closer than we were before. I guess I’m ok with how things are now.
The sun just came out, it’s almost 2:30 in the afternoon and I’m lollygagging around in my jammies and robe. Time to get dressed and start the day.
Progress. Nice.

I’m not sure how to say this but historically you are not okay with the Bdsm taken away. You need it and even though you can be reasonable for long times, I think it will always circle back to need. He needs to get back on the horse. Um. Please.

Um, historically, yes, you might have a point there. But I’m getting pretty old now, maybe it will take so long to circle back to need that i won’t be around anymore? It would be nice if he’d get back up on the horse. (Although – that made me laugh, I am not a horse!) But I don’t feel any need or want at the moment. In fact, there’s some actual “don’t want” involved. Just riding it out over here. I’m sure you’re right, it’s going to surface again.
Omg, I keep hearing the song – do you know “Alice’s Restaurant” by Arlo Guthrie? Do you know the part where he’s playing chords and talking about the chorus, and he says “We’re just gonna wait for it (the chorus) to come around again…” Well, it’s kinda like that.

Oh, um, it’s a really long song. And this part is toward the end. But if you don’t know the song, you should totally listen to it.

Noooooo. (Sobbing). It is a classic old hippie song. It was the perfect song for its era. People my age still quote parts of it to each other to make an immediate point. You are just too darn young to appreciate it.

Um. I actively have “don’t want “ consistently. It’s from years of the crazy freaking circle and being rejected and denied. Also you are not a horse. I’m a wild horse at moments.
