When I interned at a national park, I used to have to tell people to leash their dogs and some of them acted downright insane over my request...it was like I was asking them to amputate their dogs' legs or something. One guy SCREAMED at me and threw the bag with his dog's poop at our entrance door. Good times.
I am starving and can't wait to go home to eat dinner. Although I have to make something, which makes me just want to go buy something that's already cooked so I can snarf it down.
I solved a piece of a genealogy mystery that I've worked on for almost a year. Yay!

Thank god my bank caught most of it and flagged it, but one transaction did make it through so that money isn't accessible to me for 10 days until they can recover it. It could have been worse and thank heavens it wasn't, but man I am on fire over this.
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?

@pdx18, I seriously have the Kiehl's Midnight Recovery Concentrate in my Sephora cart, lol. I'm glad you like it! When I'm out of the my night cream I'm going to get it!
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.

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.
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.
It stormed really badly last night for over an hour, so I'm feeling tired today. On the plus side, my cat snuggled with me during the storm instead of running under the bed and hiding. He would get a little freaked out during big thunder booms but he let me pet him and he calmed down. I have to buy him his special cat food this weekend which is kind of pricey, so the pain of the price is somewhat eased by his cuddles last night, lol.
I have nothing planned for my weekend, which is kind of bumming me out because I was alone last weekend, too. Hopefully I can find something to do.
Ugh that sucks glitzyglow . This ghosting thing sucks.
It does suck. It's hard not to turn it around on myself ("What's wrong with me? Why does this happen to me?"). I think this one hits a little harder because I really thought he was a good guy who was genuinely interested in me. Guess not.

So, I'm officially calling myself ghosted. Sigh. I know I told myself I just wanted to have fun this summer and I do, but it still sucks to just be dumped from someone's radar.
I'm feeling better, although not 100%. I'm very glad to feel much more functioning and human-like!
I woke up at 6:15am and should have gotten up to run, but man I hate working out in the mornings so I went back to sleep, lol. I normally run in the late evening but it's been so hot that I try to wait until the sun is setting before I go. However, I'm finding that it's hard to do that since I get home so late from work anyway during the summer months, so I could really free up my evenings if I would just get up early to run. How do people become morning workout people? Is it possible?
I started listening to the book about fear that @32flavors recommended. I also watched the TED talk yesterday that was posted on ML about vulnerability. Lots of food for thought.

Someone posted an adorable pillow cover from Ikea on ML and I want it, but Ikea isn't selling it online and I don't have an Ikea. Why do you tease me Ikea, why??

I would take the shutters off and paint the shutters, then once they are put back up see if you think the door should be painted. I like the idea of navy shutters.

I feel awful today. I think it's my sinuses: swollen lymph nodes, ears bothering me, mild sore throat, head feels floaty (too much fluid from drainage?), and exhausted x 100. I might ask to go home early.
I took over my work's Instagram account and I'm pretty proud of myself so far and we've gained new followers already. Yay!
I'm pretty boring too! I'm really really focused on my health right now. I feel like for the first time I'm getting my health on track including working out, eating balanced and even simple things like a regular skin care routine.
This is something I've started in the past 1-2 years as well. I really enjoying trying new products, but I also like the feeling that I'm pampering my skin and giving it the attention it deserves.
I am sitting at the laundromat washing my comforter. Something here smells awful...I'm not sure I can sit in here with whatever smell this is.
I went to the state capitol today. The guy seemed super uninterested in giving a guided tour, so I opted for self-guided. I love tours, so I was really disappointed not to have one. I'll try again some day and hopefully get a more enthusiastic guide.
I'm getting mixed signals from the guy I went out with last week. He texts me daily but hasn't asked to see me again. I invited him over last night to watch GoT and he opted to stay home.

I am listening to the rain, drinking hard cider, and being serenaded by boy bands/Britney on Pandora. This feels so right, lol. I could be productive but why would I be?

Good for you abcdefu! And I had totally forgotten about that song...now I'm currently listening to it on YT. "I depend on me...I depend on ME." Amen!
I'm working per a normal Saturday. I have a small headache and my throat is hurting a bit. I had fun at the music event last night, but the drop in the temperature apparently did not please my body. My cat also woke me up at 5am and he was using my pillow to stand over me with his face right in mine. I was like, "What are you doing?" and he then proceeded to sneeze right in my eye. EW and UGH. Cats, man.
No plans tonight as of now. Tomorrow I am hoping to get up early and go for a long run at the park and just chill at home until Game of Thrones comes on! A friend of a friend texted me yesterday asking to hang out this week, so I might see if she's free tomorrow afternoon or Monday evening to hang out...yay new friends!
TR that's awesome. Are the Stellas getting along any better?
Yes! Well, I don't know if it's that or if we've learned how to manage the situation better and avoid triggers. But either way, the last incident was...two months ago? My Stella is doing well with her e-collar training and that's helping with her general temperament, too, I think. Thank you for asking
