Tuesday Randoms

My fling of 3 months is moving away.  I'm sad but I know it's for the best.  He has filled my post-divorce void of intimacy, physical contact, and flirting (I was in a sexless marriage for many years)...without the heavy relationship expectations and burdens. He was fresh out of a long relationship as well so it just kind of worked for both of us.

So I've been trying out Tinder.  And I need to shut it down with someone I haven't actually met - trying to decide if I just stop communication or explain myself & provide reasons.  It's been less than a week of texting but some pretty serious conversations.

Just stop texting. You don't owe any explanations for a week of texting.

While DDs are at gymnastics, I went to McDonalds to get a fry. I'm at the speaker at the drive thru when I notice a spider crawling just along the edge of the door, right where the window goes down. I'm freaking out inside but trying to stay calm while ordering. I'm trying to blow it off the door before it turns and crawls in but all it did was hunker down where I couldn't see it unless I leaned out to look. So I go to pay and I ask the girl if the spider was still there. She said yes and asked if I wanted her to flick it off. I'm like no, don't worry about it Ahhh!!! WTF was I thinking?!? Yes! Yes, I want her to flick it off and save me.

Anyway, I move up to the next window, and roll the window up a bit. Doesn't the freaking spider decide to now climb up the window, all the way to the top and hang out up there so if I even open it the slightest bit, it will fall down into my lap! Ducker! So I'm trying to keep and eye on it and figure out how to get my food. I was seriously going to open the rear window and grab the food from there. But thought that would be ridiculous so I braved it and opened my window again, the whole time watching for it. In doing so I am not paying attention to the guy and I dropped my straw. He gives me another one, and my bag, and that window would not roll up fast enough!

The bad thing is, I have no idea where the little fucker is. And, it's raining so there are raindrops all over the windows. raindrops that are all the same size as a spider. I can not help but feel it on me or see it move (raindrops tricking me). Weird thing is, this is like the 5th spider I have seen it IN or NEARLY IN this car since I got it in June. I probably have a spider's nest somewhere. :::shivers:::

This morning after dropping DH at work, I drove through Starbucks. When I got up to the window, I gave them a gift card, but explained that I didn't know how much (if any) I had available on it. The cashier ran it, but apparently the card machine wasn't able to connect with the system, so she couldn't tell if I had anything available. She said that she just did a "force approval", and if it turned out that there was no money left on it, that Starbucks would just eat the cost. So, I may have gotten a free drink and pastry this morning. Score!
