I am a little pissed a this online bookstore in which I placed an order.
They failed to mention that the book was on back order, and the text was supposed to be here yesterday. They don't even have it in stock.
What a pain in the ass! UGH!
So, now I have one of two choices, spend 3 hours (rt) driving to the University and buying, while having to pay for parking. Or ordering it on Amazon and paying for expedited shipping and have it arrive on either Monday or Tuesday. I need it now!
Last night I went to bed at 9:30pm. It was a glorious night of sleep and woke up all on my own with no alarm, so I had plenty of time to look really pretty today, so I just have a little extra confidence.
I also got to work and was finally reunited with my phone. I was greeted with a very sweet voicemail from Vegas...kind of wish I could have taken the call, but having a nice voicemail is good too.
(((@stpete))) I hope your day gets better. I hate when I just feel sad. I've had tear filled dog walks too, so you are not alone.
ETA: On my way into work, NPR did a little story about the song "September" by Earth Wind and Fire since it starts "Do you remember the 21st night of September"...man, that sang is just happy, and it put me in a good mood. It was a great Friday morning drive to work story. If any of you need a little perk up, listen to this story. The Song That Never Ends: Why Earth, Wind & Fire's 'September' Sustains
My friend and I are going up to Boston area in two weeks. I booked the hotel for us and childcare is set. I'm kind of excited. My car is going into the shop on Monday so I can figure out the grinding issue before we drive 5 hours.
I'm so glad it's Friday. I'm doing the Race for the Cure tomorrow with some co-workers and my daughter and we're wearing pink tutus! It should be tons of fun. Then Sunday I have a date with B. We've been texting all week since our last date and I'm giddy. He's such a gentleman!

I am plowing through the day today and I look forward to the weekend. I'm feeling a lot better. I'm still recovering health-wise but at least I seem to be solidly in recovery mode now which makes me happy. (I had some side effects from my allergy medicine that I am still getting over but, hey, I am breathing normally now so I can handle it).
I wish that I had a better idea of my weekend plans but I'm sure it will be a good time.

Sitting in a 5 star hotel in Chennai Found a super cheap plane ticket and a deal on a hotel room so I escaped the roommates for the weekend. Gorged myself on room service and they brought me a surprise dessert when they came to get my dishes. Gonna go crawl into my king size bed and watch tv for a bit.
mp I know exactly how you feel. It was one of the major reasons I knew I needed to get into counselling. I started feeling bleak about the future...and I am fucking 29, way too young to feel like my life is already laid out, lol.
But I feel ya. I still don't know what I want "to do"...so I stay where I am because what else am I going to do? Which is not a great thing...but I am starting to explore what I really want. Once I figure it out, I'm going to do my damndest to get there.

Hugs to all who need them.
I was craving nachos like it was nobody's business, so I made breakfast nachos. And doing a nacho bar with the kids and their friends for dinner tonight.

I am feeling really tired and I am dealing with a whole BS at work that I shouldn't even be doing.
From time to time I get all down and start feeling like I will never be in a relationship again. This was prompted by suicide guy and that the guy I dated back in May started talking to me again and is doing the exact same thing he did back then that made me to dump him.
I've been finding myself wondering how anyone is supposed to find people to date now a days. It seems like the only option is dating sites, which I have found to just not be my cup of tea (which is weird because I love meeting people from here).
But then I have to remind myself that things just happen. I met a dude in Vegas who happened to live 5 minutes away and is actually really awesome...so it happens, especially when you aren't thinking about it.

Question just totally out of curiosity and feel free not to answer, would you date Vegas or are you just enjoying your fling?

YES. I feel the same way. Online dating makes me feel like I'm interviewing people, not actually getting to know them. I know part of it is that I'm naturally pretty standoffish, but still.
I joined a cornhole bar league that starts on Tuesday. Who knows, maybe I will meet someone there.

I've been feeling incredibly restless. I just want to throw out everything I have a start fresh. I wish my lease was up sooner so I can move, I can't wait to be in a new space that I didn't share with XH and decorate with new things.

Um...I don't really know. I think he is a really good guy, and we have a lot in common. I mean, how many guys would be equally (if not more) excited for Saturday night plans that include watching "A Very Potter Musical, Act II"?
But there are things that make me think that long-term, it might not work, and I don't know that it is fair to start dating someone when you think there is an expiration point, KWIM?
So right now, I am just enjoying it, he hasn't said that he is looking for more, so until then, I just KOKO

I said the same thing about EMT when we first started dating/hanging out/being FWBs.
And then he got some shit together on his own, for himself (e.g., not trying to impress me or band-aid something) and I was like DAYMN. I don't have to take care of this guy! And he leaped up the ladder of boyfriend material.
Yeah, I am not going to close any doors right now, but I also think I am not totally ready for anything serious, so maybe my outlook on a possible future would change when I reach the ready point. Who knows?
Right now, all I know is a like hanging out with him, he knows how to sex me up good, and it is pretty easy.

At this point we are just waiting for the judge to sign. They said it would take about 4-6 weeks. I had a delicious latte this morning with hazelnut milk and hazelnut syrup.
and now a possible flameful: it's times like this that i wish i had a SO to not only help out, but just support me. i can do everything on my own, but damn it would be nice to not have to all the time.
Not flameful. I think we have all felt that way at least once. I'm super capable of DIY stuff, but I really wish I didn't have to do all of it, all the time.
mp I know exactly how you feel. It was one of the major reasons I knew I needed to get into counselling. I started feeling bleak about the future...and I am fucking 29, way too young to feel like my life is already laid out, lol.

I'll be the third Indian. I feel exactly like you guys do. And jigsy, your post the other day about the women in your book club having a dream and going for it (kinda like mp is doing...it's so badass) - I'm with ya, in that I don't know what my "dream" is. But I'm learning new things every day and feel like eventually, I'll get there.
Also, to pile on what cuddlyevil said to mp - I got back from 2 week trip out of the country and literally felt like Stella cuz I got my groove back. It also helped me realize there's a great big world out there and it opened my eyes to new possibilities for where my life is headed. Hopefully your upcoming trip will be a reset button for you too!

Not flameful at all - it's hard work being the only responsible person for pets , houses and just life.
