I'm working a half day and then heading out for a drive to my home state for a wedding. I had to go ahead and get ready for the wedding since I won't have time this afternoon. It feels super awkward to be dressed up at work! I put on false lashes, but it's not my best work at it so I'm a little frustrated with that. And my dress is lower cut than I remember...fine for a wedding, but a little more revealing than I'd like for work.

The guy who sent the pleasant first message is proving to be a terrible conversationalist. I'm all, "Cool, where do you do XYZ? How long have you ABC?" He's just like, "At river. 7 years." I'm over this already.
My left contact is being a dick today. I don't have any extras at work nor my glasses, so today will be awesome when it comes to seeing. I have plans after work to go see one of my favorite artists do a free show, but now I'm worried I'll be uncomfortable the entire time and I don't have time to go home first.
Tomorrow I am heading home for a family wedding and after the wedding I am joining up with my family to go camping. I was really looking forward to sitting around the fire sipping on some hard cider, but I was put on an antibiotic this week and I can't drink on it. I'll still have fun, but I've been craving cider!
I received a very pleasant first message from a guy on Tinder. I think in all the years I've done online dating, this guy really nailed it and it's not even a mind-blowing message. That may show my jaded expectation of online dating, lol.

My exH brought me a wedding anniversary card while he was living with his OW. The card said how much I meant to him, how wonderful I was, how he loved me, etc. I was like, "Uh, what? You live with the OW. Why would you give me this and why the eff would you write this nonsense since you sure af don't act like you mean any of this?" He had no answer. It was bizarre.
glitzyglow , I can commiserate. My roommate is always effing loud and a night owl. She's a door slammer (like SLAM, not just not turning the handle to close) and bangs around pots and pans past midnight. If I were you, I would have a new roommate, in prison, because I would have killed her with an electric mixer.
Ha! My roommate actually works nights, so when she's off work she's up all night. Normally she's considerate, so I don't know what got into her last night.

TR, bg, doglove, Eureka1984, I was seething, but kept my composure which I'm proud of because when you mess with my sleep...watch out. Her argument is that normally I'm a heavy sleeper so she didn't think it would wake me up. I mean, I don't hear her come home and it once it took me a while to wake up when she was banging on the front door, but I don't think that equals me being able to sleep through the noise of whatever kitchen appliance she was using.
A few hours later, and a lot calmer - I do agree that I should have just let H throw it in the field behind us. But, I was literally thinking I was going to have a heart attack. What if my grandson had climbed up next to h and sat, I have 5 grandkids and all their riding toys are in my carport, I was panicking that it was right there while they had been right by it. I just hope no more show up, I'm in Tennessee and we have lots of them, but I don't want them right by me and under my cushions!
It is illegal to harm, kill, or remove snakes from the wild in Tennessee.
Although not my hump day today, just a Tuesday for me.
I am grumpy this morning but I'm trying not to be. That said, I went to bed way early last night so I could feel good today, but instead I was awoken at 1:30am when my roommate was using either the blender, food processor, or electric mixer to make cupcakes. She stopped after she woke me up, but I couldn't fall back asleep. She left a note for me to eat some cupcakes and I know it's because she feels badly for waking me, but what did she think would happen when you use a loud, grinding kitchen appliance in the middle of the night?! I had planned to get up early to run, but being woken up and not being able to fall back asleep until much later ruined plans for my morning run.
I have an article due for a small local publication, but it's currently too long. I'm annoyed with myself for picking a topic that is too long and I think I am just going to write a new article that fits the length criteria because I don't think I can edit down my current piece any more than it is.

doglove, get out of my head. I am thinking about using a sick day on Thursday to do nothing but Netflix, read, and hang out by the pool! Hopefully they open yours in time. You should ask the apt. office...maybe they'll open it on Thursday if they know a resident wants to use it!

Would I personally stay with this guy? No. For me, 10 months isn't a long enough time to agree to such a situation. I get that I'm not in the gist of it, so that's easy for me to say. However, it sounds like they were pretty serious if he was helping raise her child like his own and then they got pregnant. From his ex's viewpoint, it would be so hurtful to hear from the man that you live with and who is helping raise your son that it "isn't a great idea" to have a child together after the fact (I mean, I don't know the backstory here, just working through what was posted). For conjecture's sake I have to say that I might leave to if my live-in boyfriend said that. Were they not using birth control? Was he surprised by the pregnancy and if so, why? Why didn't he want to have additional children with the woman he lived with and a child he considered like his own to the point that he said it wasn't a great idea, but is a-okay with having a family with you?
Can I get a show of hands of everyone in here whose former H said they hadn't loved them for a long time (or had never loved them) and were no longer attracted to them? They lie.
Sure did. He's was the quite the lying liar that lied.

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)

Aw, thanks for the gifs guys! (heart) (heart) I am feeling better today, I needed to just have a pity party for the evening. This seems like the fire I needed lit under me to make some big goals happen this year.

doglove, sorry he's being so odd. It is frustrating. I think most people just don't know how to communicate or have a such a fear of hurting someone's feelings that they just act oddly or ghost. It's not fair or mature, and so exhausting when you feel like you have to decipher it since they aren't upfront. Dating is hard.

@pdx18 , that sounds like a fun night!
Does anyone else watch Girls? I looked up the guy who plays Elijah. He was in Book of Mormon and nominated for a Tony, which I wasn't aware of, but more shockingly to me was that he is 37! I always thought he was in his 20s!
