Last night's dinner was totally fine and the couple I was apprehensive about seeing, acted like there was nothing wrong, which I knew they would. Many drinks later, the wife pulled me aside to apologize and ask if we could still be friends. In the same conversation, she sort of scolded me for not reaching out to her when I knew there was shit going down.
I slept in a bed with both of my kids, last night. I'm pretty sure I didn't sleep a wink! Good thing they're cute!

I'm not surprised at all she acted like that, doris.
I rallied and went to a party last night for a little while. I'm so glad I did, because the former pro cyclist (the one who ran the clinic I took) was there. She offered to send me a bunch of drills and tests and such to help me train for the winter. She also invited me to come to some training sessions. I'm super excited.
My belly is still feeling a bit off. I can't wait until real food appeals to me. There was SO much good beer at this party last night and I didn't drink any of it. Sad face.
I'm glad it was basically okay, doris. And shame on her for putting any of her fucked up marriage drama on you. Shit was going down because she is a shitty selfish person! Does she think you don't know what happened?
I am in bed. Pantsless. And it is in the high 40's here. Wow!
I am awake but in bed. Got home at 3, asleep at 4. But I had fun and stumbled into a small group of friends to hang out with. One remembered me and hugged me, I never realized I had made an impression on him.
I'm awake and laying in bed savoring kitty snuggles since today's the last day I'll get them for nearly a week! I'm going to miss these little stinkers.
Last night I talked my friend into meeting me at a Jewish deli (or the closest we have to one here). I had a nice big cup of chicken noodle soup, mashed potatoes, a huge chicken cutlet, and my friend and I split pierogies. I got marble rye with my soup, too! It was SO good! I've been needing that kind of food for days. I normally don't eat much at once but I nearly cleared my plate.

I woke up this morning to thunder and lightning. The thunder actually shook the house. I found myself wishing I could snuggle up with DS and hoping he wasn't too scared.
I went out with some of the guys from work and their so's to celebrate a birthday. It was ok, but we went to a casino and I'm not a gambler so it was a little boring. The birthday boy (who is single) was hitting on me and it made me really uncomfortable. I stayed longer than I should have.

I just didn't know what to do about it. I'm just not interested in him, and I work really hard to develop good relationships with the guys I work with because it makes my job easier, and now I'm afraid that work's going to be weird. For now, I'm going to chalk it up to the fact that he was drunk and we were the only two singles in the group. But I'll be on guard at the office for sure.
Last year there was a bunch of drama with a female coworker, and rumors were rampant that she was sleeping with several of the guys. I don't want to be part of the rumor mill, so I've been hesitant to do anything with them outside of work.
My foster situation isn't working out and I am feeling depressed about it.
Do you want to talk about what's going on?
The short version is that she is terrified to be contained in a crate and won't go to the bathroom on leash. I don't live in the house anymore so I have no where to put her to contain her and she's also going to the bathroom as soon as we come in from long walks or periods of being outside.
The coordinators all agree she probably needs a yard and someone who is home with her to work through her issues. I don't have the luxury of being home all day to do that. I am bummed, I wanted to make a difference.

Hugs doglove. Just because this particular one isn't working, doesn't mean that you won't have another opportunity. I think there is another poor dog out there who needs you and your amazing heart. If you stick with a situation that is not a good fit, you won't be available for one that is.
doglove big hugs. You do make a difference. Even being with her and showing her love for a short time makes a difference. As does passing her on to a situation that's a better fit for her so that you can help another foster. You do great work lady.
Yes, i agree. I don't mind doing something as a group, as long as several co-workers are in attendance. But there will be no dates. Aside from the fact that he's a co-worker, I'm not attracted to him in the least.
Tonight my father was doing the "make sure you get a lot of rest tomorrow night because you won't get much on the plane" thing. As if I've never taken a red eye before and don't know any of this. I once took a red eye out to NYC, got ready in the bathroom at JFK, and went to seminars at Pratt, then left the next day. I swear they forget who I am sometimes. I don't think I've seen them this concerned about me and my ability to handle travel since I was little.
