Thirty days of entries! Yay me. I’m so happy that I did this. It’s been quite a month and even though I slowed down quite a bit at the end of it, there was still a lot to write about.
Of course, you know what I’m thinking, right? Yes, I want to keep this up. I figure, if I can do 30 days of entries, I can also do 30 days of dieting along with it, right? And 30 days of exercise?!
Maybe I’ll call it something…like a countdown to 2016 of some sort. We used to do DePhoMo, remember? I’m not as good at posting photos (though I could probably show you 31 days worth of dick pics - ha!).
So what’s been going on today, you ask?
Let’s see. I woke up very early and went right back to sleep because I took a vacation day today! Oh what decadence! And I’m going to do it again tomorrow, too. I’m trying to make sure that I don’t lose vacation days like I did last year.
Got up around 7:30 and took the dog out and then started in on laundry and some organizing and more straightening up. Yeah, I had a lot to do and I still didn’t get everything done because at around 9AM, I was playing around on my MacBook Air and decided to clean off the dirty keyboard and screen…with 409 cleaner. (!!!!)
Guys, do NOT do this. Ever. I have learned the hard way and may have ruined a perfectly good computer. The only good thing I have to say is that it is rebooting now. At first, some of the keys stopped working and then the whole thing just went to black screen. I was in a panic because I’m so addicted to my dumb computer and social media and all that stuff that I wasn’t sure what to do. But I googled all of this stuff on my phone about waiting for like 72 hours to let the thing dry out, etc. etc.
And then I realized that I had an OLD, OLD MacBook in a storage box! Of course, I had no idea if the thing would even boot up, but after plugging it in and watching it sputter and whir and cough up a few dust balls, she was up and running again!
So I’m on the old computer. Yes, she’s outdated but working fine right now. There are a few things that are not working on this computer due to some compatibility or storage space. Like I can’t watch a movie on Netflix. But I may be able to figure out a work around. And anyway, I don’t know how long I’ll need to be on this old clunker.
I found some great old photos from a few years ago as well. Like a work trip to Europe (London, Paris, Amsterdam) where we tacked on a side trip to Marrakech. Oh, the life I used to lead… [sigh]
So, other than the computer and getting some laundry done and some back and forth to storage, I didn’t do a whole lot else.
I chatted a bit with SHIP, and today’s vibes indicate that the novelty may be fading. But again, what do I know? Every time I think I’ll never hear from the guy he comes back with a vengeance. But seriously, it’s ridiculous to think of him in any way but a fun fling. Why can’t I get that through my thick skull? Is he playing games with me? Perhaps. But I also think he might think the same of me. Whatever. Shut up, Ginger.
Oh. Something else I thought about quite a bit today for some reason: SexyPants and the SOS situation (that’s Son of SexyPants). For those of you who might not know, SexyPants is my ex-fiance and SOS is his mentally challenged son who’s now in his 20s. And here’s my thought - just think, if I’d have married SP in 2013 like we were originally supposed to…or even in 2014, which was our second wedding date, I would have been dealing with SOS and his issues on a daily basis.
I talked to SP on Sunday, just to have a friendly post-Thanksgiving chat because we’re friends like that. But here’s the thing. Every single time we talk, there’s always something about SOS that’s wrecking havoc in SP’s life. He is an utter nightmare, even though SP tries to spin it in another light. I know he loves that kid, but even for him, it’s a daily, daily struggle. I wouldn’t have made it. Not in the state I was in. Or probably ever.
Yet, I was still going to go through with the marriage because I wanted to be married! It wasn’t until I found out about the infidelities that I broke off the engagement! So look. Is it fair to say that it’s a good thing that I found out that SP was unfaithful? Sure, it was a horrible, heartbreaking situation. But the truth of the matter is, I was headed for a train wreck. One way or another, the shit was going to hit the fan.
I guess I’m thankful that there were enough roadblocks set in my way to keep me from doing something stupid.
Haha. That doesn’t mean I don’t do stupid shit every day. But marrying SP would have been a pretty dumb thing, eh?
OK. I need to take the pup out for her evening walk and start thinking about dinner and tomorrow. Oh, and what I’m going to do with this journal going forward. I’m kind of digging the idea of the workout/diet/daily journal thing…
Stay tuned, loves! XO, GS
