I was looking forward to this long weekend. The last several weeks have been super intense. Yesterday I stayed in bed most of the day. I napped twice. I did my old grounding routine. I’m also trying to behave. No more hookups! I don’t have time for a sex addiction. I had several offers yesterday, gaylord lead me not into temptation.
Kyle, the pretty little blonde, if he hit me up, I would have caved instantly. I’d rather catch chlamydia than feelings. I find myself a little smitten. I can’t stop thinking about his smile. However, there is someone I am supposed to meet today. I love our chats. He’s so raw and real. He was busy yesterday, so we didn’t get to talk. I missed him. Lowkey, I want this one to add up to something real. When I was leaving work on Thursday, irrevocably exhausted, I felt like I needed to cry. Grindr doesn’t exactly give me a lap I can cry on.
I’m carrying my program right now, as per usual. It’s been getting really heavy. My coordinator can see how hard I am pushing myself for our boys and is being supportive while also trying to get me to slow down. I have first-degree burnout. There was a scene where I was just lying on the floor in the corner of my office. I needed to charge. Our other mentor is still recovering from her knee surgery. I have a casual that can support with some group programs, but he doesn’t have a vehicle, so the burden of picking up our boys is on me. We are hiring one more full-time mentor, so I am trying to get my coordinator to get our funders to give us a little more funding so we can take in 5-10 more kids.
I ordered a bunch of stuff and moved a lot around so I can make room for a gaming room. Even got an 8k project approved to help us all with our storage issues. While I was out dropping off some of our boys in the afternoon, on Thursday, I came back, and Shay, from a different program, was building the little gaming desks that came in for me. The support is there, I felt so touched. The room is starting to look great. Everyone is getting excited for it.
Also! I got a little raise. Just $2, but I’ll take it. They tried to get me some retro pay, but they weren’t able to swing it. Things are a little trickier at nonprofits.
I also snuck over to one of our other locations that has nurses who do STBI testing. My two partners had their safety kits, but I need a baseline. I figure since I’m a hoe now.
My gym was closed yesterday, which sucked. It is open again today, so I am looking forward to it. I have Easter dinner with the fam, so it should be a good day. It will be even better if I get to meet up with guy#2. He might still be busy. He is painting his sister’s house. Ugh, he gives me a sexy mix of Capricorn and Sagittarius energy, which is not a hard combo. Merc and Venus don’t travel far from the sun. Blah!
K, on with my day then.
