Happy hump day, all!

[pandora]

I am sooooo pissed. I have to keep blocking certain people and I swear that Verizon isn't blocking for the full 90 days each time.

I was woken up 3x during the night from idiots texting me who I cannot get rid of from years ago. I'm pretty sure they know they are blocked so are they waiting until it runs out again? I refuse to pay $5/month to block. I am so irate right now. Leave me alone!!!!!!!

Now it's until 5/31 and I put it in my calendar to reblock before then. I am going to lose my shit if they wake me up with a newborn at that time. I am ready to change my phone number but that will screw me professionally. So angry.

pandora, do you have an iPhone? You can block numbers on it.

I'm listening to the Hamilton soundtrack today, although I feel like I should be listening to some Rage Against the Machine (public place, best that I not, lol). I wish the ticket prices weren't insane for Hamilton because I'd love to go, but at current prices I'll never be able to.

I'm wearing my new riding boots that took me months to find since I'm kind of picky and needed a wide foot and wide calf. They are great and seem like great quality. So far so good!

I woke up to ice covering my car. And the roads. It took about 20 minutes to scrape off and I didn't even get everything. I came home for lunch and half of my car was still covered in the ice because of the way I park, the half facing the sun has melted off, driver's side has not.

Also, I checked the status of my resume submission for the mgmt position, since it's been a week and a half and I have yet to hear anything, and it says it's "under review". I'm hoping that means I'll get a call from the recruiter before the end of this week!

No, Android. I can send callers straight to vmail but the texts come through. They started at 1:30am and continued through 4:45am. Awesome. One is an X and no matter how much I tell him to leave me alone, there's always something all the way down to fake "pocket texts" as he calls them to try to get me to respond. I am so grumpy today from lack of sleep, lol.

I could turn my phone off but I don't want to miss an important phone call...and it's my alarm.

I may just change my number but what a mess it will be with all accounts, contacts etc.

It turned off cold here again..... I just want divorced and days about 70 degrees.... It this to much to ask??

Do you have a quiet hours feature on your phone? That will keep calls and texts from walking you up at night and most of them have a setting that allows you to have certain numbers to still get through. As for text and call blocking all I have to do is hold down on the number until I get a pop menu that has block as an option. I don't have a mainstream phone (Nokia) and it's one of my standard features so most of the mainstream phones should have it as an option.

There is a thread on ML where several posters are talking about the fucked up image standards in LA. And it is making me depressed as fuck when I think about dating. There are already a million things that go into finding a partner, but throw in that physically, you are surrounded by "better" choices - it all seems impossible.

I think this feeling is one reason why I am having a hard time with this Vegas thing. He is the first person that has made me feel 100% beautiful exactly the way I am. When I slip into my old mindset of "If I was 30 lbs lighter, he would do anything to keep me" I pull myself back and can say with no doubt that that isn't true. I know, logically, that if I have found one person who finds me attractive as I am, then there are 1,000 more people out there, he is not a special snowflake. But it feels like it is an uphill climb. It is scary.

Sorry for the downer post. I know I am in a bad place right now.

Can I sit here with you? The prospect of dating in orange county in the future is... not fun.

I don't see one. After reading your post, I looked for a way to do it on my phone (blocking their texts) but nada. They are already listed on refuse call but that sends them to email, I believe. I can't refuse the texts other than how I did online for the 90 days...I'm hoping it'll stick for the 90 days but if it doesn't, I'm going to call them. I'm exhausted today and can't do that again. Momma needs her sleep when she can!!

Seriously, the X's text was telling me that his daughter was coloring hair today and he thought of me. ?? Uhm, we haven't spoken in years (and I'm so greatful for that).

Hugs mp and jigsy!

Look for Do Not Disturb mode. There should be something that allows you to switch off everything but calls from specific numbers or certain notifications. If it's not in your settings, there should at least be an app for it. GL!

Perfect, thank you! I just set it for nights. Only baby (and bathroom trips) should be keeping me awake.
