Wednesday Whatevers

[tiramisu]

How's everyone doing today? What's going on in your worlds?

[tiramisu]

My body is forcing me to rest, big time. I woke up with swollen tonsils on one side of my throat yesterday, thought I saw a red spot. Later in the day, tried looking with my cell phone flashlight and thought I saw white patches. I went to the express clinic affiliated with my medical group yesterday evening. It was a REALLY nice experience, the place used to be their concierge medicine location so it was fancy. They did a rapid strep test and it was positive.

The fun part was that they offered me a shot of antibiotics instead of needing to take pills for 10 days. A shot of penicillin in the gluteus maximus is distinctly uncomfortable, however I'm glad that I won't have to take pills with a sore throat and swollen tonsils. The steroid pills they gave me were hard enough and those were tiny. So now I'm home from work for two days. Not sure I even have that much sick time, so if I'm feeling well enough, especially considering my ridiculous caseload, I might go in tomorrow. But really I know I should stay home and sleep.

Awww, I hope you feel better soon, tiramisu! You've been dealing with a lot!

Not much going on here...I need to bake a cake tonight for a friend's birthday, and I'm debating what flavor for the frosting. I know it will be a vanilla cake with strawberry filling. I bought mascarpone, so it will be a mascarpone frosting. The part of me that likes to play says to make it a white choc, coconut, or almond mascarpone frosting, but the other part of me says to KISS and just do normal plain mascarpone.

[tiramisu]

Thanks udscoobychick!

Re: the cake, I'm not personally an almond or coconut fan, so I like the idea of keeping it simple. I do think a nice sweet (but not too sweet) mascarpone frosting would be delicious with it and let the strawberries shine. Of course, when I think mascarpone I also think tiramisu (lol) so I imagined a little cocoa powder dusted on top.

[udscoobychick]

I think you're right, tiramisu. The strawberries are supposed to be the highlight, so the mascarpone frosting should probably take a bit of a back seat!

[bullygirl979]

tiramisu, feel better!

udscoobychick, YUM! I think the white chocolate would be a nice complementary flavor but I think plain mascarpone would be equally delicious.

I LOVE Mascarpone frosting and make it all the time, but i have never flavored it. Almond sounds delish!!!

22 more days of work for me.....FOREVER!!!

[bullygirl979]

YAY, mags!!

[bullygirl979]

I have been having some knee issues so I saw my chiro a week ago. Prognosis was good and he told me I could still run and bike. I ran on Monday and my knee has been jacked up since then. I'm bummed as I want to run but I'm not working out until I see the chiro again.

On the plus side, I discovered this really cute coffee and beer place near my house. It's on the water and they have a really nice outdoor space. I told P we need to check it out soon!

AMAZING!!

[udscoobychick]

Yay for your BIL, margarita!!! That is great news!

bullygirl979, I hope your knee improves soon! Would a sports med doc or ortho maybe be able to give you a better idea of what activities are safe?

[doriswe]

The guy I had a drink with last week text yesterday and I get the distinct feeling he is trying to get laid. His response to me saying I'm looking for a relationship has ticked me off and probably irrationally so.

This guy is a huge triathlete and is trained in sports management. He has additional training and certification beyond what a "normal" chiro does. And? My PCP retired and I'm waiting to get in to my new one so I can't get a referral, lol.

Wait, he told you that you are looking for a relationship?

I think I worded my post weird...I told him I'm looking for a relationship and his response to that statement annoyed me.

Do tell.

Him: So when works for you to get together?

Me: Ummm...possibly Thursday night. Maybe the weekend?
Him: The weekend does that mean a sleepover?

Me: Yeah, no lol. That what you're looking for?

Him: Not sure, I'm just living life and seeing what happens, what are you looking for?

Me: I'm looking for a relationship

Him: I would like that as well, but I'm in no rush and feel what happens will happen. I'm not going to force or pursue anything that doesn't feel right. I would like someone in my life but don't need someone in my life.

Maybe, I'm just really salty, but I was annoyed by his last comment. Like, he's suggesting I need a relationship to feel complete. I could totally be reading it wrong, though.

[tiramisu]

doriswe I hate those responses. I think there's nothing wrong with saying you want a relationship without adding the disclaimer that it's with the right person and that you're not looking to just jump right into a relationship.

I swear the way guys respond tells you what they're really about. He sounds flaky and like there's fuckboy potential there. That whole "living life and whatever happens, happens" shit irritates me to no end. There's nothing wrong with being intentional about things.

So, if you're just being salty, so am I.

[bullygirl979]

doriswe, ew. I mean, maybe he didn't mean it like that but that's how it comes across. Also, I am kind of LOLing that on your date he said he didn't want a relationship and now he maybe he does? And back to "ew". Maybe I'm clutching my pearls too hard but who really suggests having a sleepover. I mean, if it happens it happens. But I'm imagining this guy grinning lasciviously while waggling his eyebrows as he wrote that.

[tiramisu]

Also, this is a dude who couldn't even spring for food on your LUNCHTIME date, right?? It's not okay to schedule a date for a time people eat and then not address their need to eat. No thank you.

[doriswe]

I'll add, last week (before we met) he said I could ask him 10 random questions. One of them was "what would you pick for your last meal?" His response, that I totally was confused by and glazed over, was "you."

Oh SO gross. Ewwwwww. Before you even met??? RUN! Total fuckboy and not worth your time. You didn't even get a meal from him! He doesn't deserve your time.
