Saturday Randoms!

WHO THE HELL THOUGHT IT WAS A GOOD IDEA TO HAVE THE LANDSCAPERS COME TO MY HOUSE AT 8:00 AM ON A SATURDAY???

My landlord pays our landscaping. They are usually here on Tuesdays while I'm at work. I noticed they didn't come this week. I could have slept in this morning, but nooooo! Weed whackers and lawn mowers everywherrrrrrrreee UGH!

Ugh, I hate being woken up by landscapers abcdefu. My complex's company comes on Tuesdays and my day off used to be Tuesdays...it sucked.

My brain went into overdrive right before bed last night, so I had a hard time falling asleep. I tossed and turned, eventually waking up at 6am and unable to fall back asleep. I thought about running, but my eyelids are so heavy with exhaustion that I don't think I would have gotten much out the run anyway.

The guy that I said ghosted me reached out last night and I laid out there that I hadn't heard from him and that I was confused as to what exactly he was doing. He sent a super long text this morning, but it really didn't offer too much clarification. I'm confused by it, I'm confused by what I'm feeling, and I really wish I could drink at work.

I missed the first day of half marathon training; the group met at 8:30 and I woke up a little before 10. I just can't get it up for running this year. I'm lacking the motivation.

I think this should be implemented. Not to the point of inebriation, but just a little something to calm the stress! :beer:

As for the landscapers, if there are silencers made for guns, why the hell can we not invent a silencer for weed whackers and lawn mowers???

abcdefu, if I could have a glass of wine at work, I actually think I would do an amazing job at it. I used to give group tours as part of my job and I always joked if I could have 2 glasses of wine prior to a group tour, I would be the best most amazing guide ever, lol.

The guy that ghosted me in November turned up in the "people you may know" part of FB.

I really hate FB sometimes. If you're in his contacts and he has it set up so that messenger ties to his phone... that could happen. It's crap.

He must have it tied to his contacts. I deleted him from mine. It's so weird.

It had been a few days that you didn't hear from him? How many dates had you gone on? What was his explanation? 20 questions! LOL.

Yes, it had been a few days. Long story short, we chatted daily via text for over a month, went on 3 dates (one of which was an overnight), but I invited him over last weekend and he said no. He then fell off the radar for almost a week after declining my invite and not responding to a text from me, which was unusual per the past. Today (after I pointed out he went MIA), he apologized and said he's still learning to balance work and dating and can understand why I would think he skipped out on me. He said isn't interested in skipping out on me and that he promised he won't fall off the radar again. So idk.

Eta side note: He was on vacation for most of the time we talked and just started back to work last week, so I can see his side. According to him, he hasn't really dated since moving to my city for his job and his job is definitely one of the more demanding fields. Not making excuses, just more information.

I slept for like 14 hours. It was incredible! My hibernation phase continues today. I'm catching up on DVR and doing a home spa day today. I actually love giving myself spa treatments and give myself a weekly facial. Today I'm also going to paint my nails. I have like 100s of polishes so it should be fun. I really need to totally recharge today.

Yeah, if he's just now back at work and hadn't been before - I would give him the benefit of the doubt. It was only a few days. He reached back out to you. It may not be perfect but it doesn't necessarily scream shitty to me, either, you know?

I agree.

glitzyglow, my xbf had a demanding job with a very big time difference so we'd go four days without talking or texting. Irritating and upsetting. He was the one who eventually ghosted me. And literally said he would never do it too which makes it even douchey-er.

A week I could forgive. Especially in the beginning. Some people just lose track of time or days on stuff. If he corrects his behavior after the first time and isn't a repeat offender I would totally hop back up on that horse!

Total lazy day. My hormones are all wacky (not prego;  age & just started back on pill) so I woke up at 6 still tired and have done the tv/nap thing all day, which is fine bc it's too hot out to do anything else.

Watched "10 Cloverfield Lane" movie, not impressed with ending. Tonight I'll watch "Joy".

I have zero going on in dating life yet no desire to get back online.

Overall blah.

I hope everyone is having more exciting weekends than mine.

What is with all the married men on Tinder?! Matched with a guy this morning, exchanged some pleasant messages/banter, then when he asked if I wanted to grab coffee this afternoon I agreed because, well, I didn't have anything else going on. About an hour in, everything's actually going great, then I asked him if he's ever been married and he tells me that yes, he's been married before...actually he's married right now and has two kids! Awkward. After a moment to collect myself, I asked him if he was planning to do anything about that, and what he was doing on Tinder, and his response was that he had only been really thinking it over for about a day.

Ugh. So far at least the married guys I've come across on Tinder have been upfront about it, either that they're looking for some side action (not interested) or that they're in the process of divorcing (probably still not interested). This is the first guy I've met that decided to surprise me. Such a disappointment!

My 7 year old had a complete breakdown last night over not wanting to go back to see her dad. He still has supervised visitation at a supervised visitation center, so I don't think he hurt her physically. My heart is hurting for her.

I'm so sorry. I fear for the day this happens to my kids. Hugs.

I can see how that would generate a lot of confusing feelings glitzyglow! Will you see him again? Sounds like maybe mp is right and this was just a fluke.

I had something similar happen, although not really. I met a cute guy on Tinder about two months ago. He's young for me (28), but we had a mutual friend and he friended me on FB. We chatted a lot at first and then he would suddenly disappear for periods of time. Finally after about three weeks - I suggested we meet for a drink and he said okay and again - disappeared. I deleted him from FB and out of my phone and then he texted me on Friday night wanting to go on a hike this weekend. I didn't even know who the number was, ugh. And then when I said no (because hello I had plans in place this weekend), he has disappeared again. I give up. I decided I'm going on a dating break until after labor day. Fu@k this shit.

Still laughing about that. TL says you should friend him.

My heart hurts for both of you! How horrible, I'm sorry.
