Weekend Randoms

[glitzyglow]

I apparently am the Randoms queen around here ::adjusts crown::

Today I am working, and then I'm rushing to pick up tickets at will call for a show that I was given the option to see completely for free! I really don't care too much for the person in the show, but eh, free show! I invited my friend to come with me since I was comped 2 tickets. I might have to leave the show a little early though because I am seeing a 2nd show, one I actually paid for, at a different (but close) venue. Then I am supposed to meet a guy for drinks. This guy and I actually went out a year ago after meeting through OLD and there was nothing wrong with our meeting, we just kind of faded out talking until he reached out this week. Tbh, I'm hoping we're attracted enough to each other to become fwb because he lives down the road from me and that would be super convenient, lol.

Tomorrow I am thinking of trying out a UU church and then I'm going to the Renaissance Festival with my roommate.

Monday I want to lay by the pool. Weather prediction says that might be possible! (hot)

[calle28]

What's OLD? Hope it works out how you want it to!

I'm still laying in bed, being lazy. Later today me and BF are going to Home Depot to look at hardwood floors. We might hang with friends tonight.

Tomorrow we'll be checking out a church and grocery shopping. Nothing too exciting.

calle28 - online dating.

I love walking around hardware stores. I wish I could buy everything, lol.

I still have a bit of a headache from a 6 hour long happy hour last night. I haven't left the house yet today, but I have showered, so...progress, right?

I did start packing today since I close on my new house in less than a month. Took all the things off my walls, packed all my pictures, books, candles, and other table and countertop decor. It feels and looks so empty already!

Starting to pack my things is actually making me a little sad and anxious. The last time I packed up my life, I was moving out of my house when ExH and I split up. Now I'm packing because I'm buying my own house, but something about the act of packing is unsettling me. I just feel a little off right now. Definitely wasn't expecting to feel this way.

Also, since this is a randoms thread...I really want to go out for ice cream.

I went out to breakfast with FKAD (fist kiss after divorce) guy. It was fun and a good break from work. He's a nice surprise.

Have a few errands to run, but otherwise I just have yoga and work planned for the rest of the day.

[cuddlyevil]

The kids and I have had a lazy day. We played around and took a walk for ice cream.

We are going to church tomorrow. Then we got baseball tickets through my work. So we're going to see the Reds probably lose to the Mariners. But the weather is supposed to be glorious.

I am getting frustrated with cmb.

Went to get my hair done today (first time at new salon) and it turned out good!  I've spent the rest of the day just hanging around.  I didn't take anything out for dinner and I want to go out, but I'm not sure what I'm in the mood for.

Last night's date was super fun! Virtual reality is no joke and crazy amazing. We needed up falling asleep on the couch together before anything else happened but it was super cute. I feel so calm about this guy and it's really nice.

I think I've been so tired because I'm not eating well. So I'm starting new rules of lifting for women and doing their eating plan. I need to lose weight, but for now in just focused on balanced and healthy to up my energy levels.

[jellymankelly]

I spent the morning packing up stuff in my kitchen. FI is lucky I kind of like him, because moving 3 people after 9 years of "stuff" accumulation sucks! We are down to the 4 week countdown until the wedding, and I am ready to have the actual event over with so we can get on with life!

My boss told me this week that I should try watching Fox News instead of CNN because it's so much more balanced. (I mentioned that FI is a CNN junkie - I should have just said "news junkie.") I didn't know what to say, and I was wishing for the moment that I didn't have one of those overly-expressive faces that shows exactly what I'm thinking at all times.

Also, I've lost 16 pounds doing the little containers like the 21 day fix, after reading about them on ML. I've been blowing it the past couple of days, though. I have got to get back on track, because I am determined to make it an even 20 pounds before we go to the Keys. I want to wear a bikini!

[asoctoberfalls]

I have the flu. Luckily DS is with H this weekend:..but what a waste of a kid-free weekend! I desperately hope DS doesn't get sick. We were sharing food on Wednesday even though I had noticed a tickle in my throat that day.

On the plus side, I've watched about a dozen episodes of Downton Abbey on Amazon prime. I can't believe I never watched it before!

Downton Abbey is so good. I have been pondering watching it from the beginning again.

Time to relax!!

I had a meeting this morning so I had to get up early, pick up mom and then drive back to the coast for the meeting.

Went to Petco to show mom the 2 kitties I am thinking about adopting and they wouldnt let us see them; the staff was so unorganized and confused. They are hindering kittie adoptions!!

Found some super cute loungewear/pajama tops at Nordstrom. Bonus- they were on sale and the L fit (normally an XL).

Had the most amazing dessert tonight- a S'mores skillet. Warm chocolate ganache with graham cracker crumbs topped with homemade toasted marshmallows.

[stephreloaded]

I started school at 7am. Then when I was done at 2pm, I went to my parents and DD had a friend over for a play date. I am just now finishing homework.

I would love to veg out all day tomorrow.

[1confused1]

I have strep throat. I haven't had it since I was a kid and I don't remember it being this painful. :-( I'm hoping the antibiotics start working soon.

It's not nearly as painful in kids as it is in adults. I got strep as an adult a couple years ago, and I thought I was going to die. It was awful. Ibuprofen really helps.

[cuddlyevil]

Woke up feeling gross, so we're skipping the baseball game

The kids and I are both sad but they've been awesome about it. They just want me to feel better.

So, I've lived in my location for 8 months now. I have one "friend". I'm ready to give up on this friendship. She just hangs out when she needs someone or to waste time at work. Like she has invited me to hang out three times in the last month. Except it was to move her house and stuff. She really dropped me after she got a girlfriend.

So I need to get over my depression. It affecting my personal life and work. I did not do well in therapy. And I feel like one of those rare people that fails with therapy. I used to cry for the entire session. I can't do that again.

I need to start volunteering to meet people. I figure the USO and an animal shelter (like I used to).

cuddlyevil, I've been on CMB for two weeks now and I'm over it. I felt awhile ago when I broke up with my LD boyfriend that I would be single for a long while. I've like three people and none of them have liked me back. I feel super picky too.

Hugs, I can relate.  It's so hard to make new friends.  Just today I joined a bunch of meetup groups so I will have weekend options to get out and do things & meet people.  The long lonely weekends are terrible on my psyche.

I've stepped away from the online dating.  For now anyway.

I'm going to see my family next week (out of state), much needed.

[closertofine]

Well, the new guy I was seeing turned out to be a bust. Mental health issues akin to stbx. I'm disappointed, but kind of at least glad to get that first experience post break up out of the way.

[Eureka1984]

Hugs @lemonlover and @blushnbashful.

I got divorced two years ago and last month I had a realization about social media. I realized that all it does is bring me down and make me feel even more depressed since my divorce.

Today I decided to delete my Facebook. I'm done trying to please anyone and everyone.

I feel like I'm starting all over again in a way. I need to heal me some more.

I only like one of my sisters. And I've contemplated going to visit her for a morale boost. 

As far as online dating, I'm half assing it because of the phrase "hot mess attracts hot mess" and I feel like a little of a hot mess.

I'm dumb on meet-up groups. How did you find yours? 

[Dory1988]

After all the crap that hit the fan last week I know tomorrow I have to meet with DH in the presence of the chain of command to get a POA signed in case he mobs out when they start his terminal leave (he's getting retired) and they'll serve him with his protective order. Not looking forward to it so I literally drank wine directly from the bottle tonight. #classy

Argh, it's so horrible, I hope the medicine works fast! I have had it twice in the last year, the first time I thought I must have had the flu or something it was so awful, it took a few days for me to realize it was strep. The second time thankfully I figured it out before it got so bad and got better much faster.

My XH is such a selfish dick and I don't know why but somehow it still surprises me. He had DS last night (Sunday) as we switched Friday night and he brought him back at 9:15 this morning and hadn't fucking fed him yet. He dropped him off the a piece of banana bread from the drive thru.. Wtf?!
When I called 30 mins earlier he was clearly still in bed, said he'd had a shocking sleep etc.. I almost thought to tell him to make sure he'd fed his child but gave him the benefit of the doubt.. Dumb. So DS was up this morning on his own watching tv whilst dad slept in and didn't feed him for probably 3 hours. *rage*

Luckily I'm in a large city with lots of options so I signed up for several focused on my interests: hiking, outdoors, dogs, volunteering

I'm 1+ year post divorce so I think (HOPE) I'm past my dating frenzy/must find someone phase.  Now I just want to find friends and focus on me and feeling happy and comfortable with myself, by myself.

I feel the same way about social media, it just depresses me.  I never post anything but I read it daily.  Not good. But yet I can't delete it.  I don't know, I feel like that will make me feel even  more lonely if that makes sense.  So I admire that step you took and maybe I'll get there.
