Hey…it’s Monday - AGAIN! How did we get here so quickly? I guess the weekend went by so fast. Too quickly, in fact, for me to get adequate sleep and I’m tired on this Monday. It’s taking me a long time to get into the swing of things.
But let’s take a step back to the wondrous weekend and recap a bit, shall we?
Friday was a long day for some reason. I guess the excitement of the good-ish news on Thursday had me kind of jittery (in a good way) and so I struggled to sleep. See previous entry if you’re wondering. I’ve been struggling with my sleep for the past few weeks and I’m wondering if it’s just my body getting back to pre-injury normalcy when I only slept about 6 hours a night. I really, really would like to get 7.5-8 hours per night but I don’t know if I can get there like I was when I was feeling terrible. I know my body was forcing me to shut down and sleep back then. Now, I think it’s excited and wants to be in action all the time. Note to self: need to try some new techniques for good, quality sleep.
But Friday afternoon hit and I heard from the Rodeo Clown who said he was going to be in town that evening to watch a MMA fight that his buddy was going to be in. He told me that I was welcome to join him or meet him later and I thought about it for a bit.
First of all, I have no desire to go see a MMA fight. Secondly, to meet him afterwards would have been weird because it would be late and he was into his fetish-y talk already and I just can’t with that anyway.
So I ended up going home, texting him a polite but firm NO and going to bed.
Saturday morning got up super early to take the dog on a nice long walk before I took her to her daycare so she could stay there overnight while I went to Best Bud’s to have a Girls Night. Alas, it rained and rained in the morning, so I ended up taking her to daycare earlier than I wanted to and then I took myself shopping at the fancy mall.
Took a class on how to create the perfect “wing” eyeliner effect at Sephora. It was taught by a drag queen who started out bare-faced, so that was really interesting. Ended up buying all of the products to make that happen because I had so much fun!
Took myself to breakfast at a nice sit-down cafe in the mall (not the food court) where I sat at the bar and sipped decaf and nibbled on egg-white scramble and sweet, cake-y breads until I could nibble no longer (ate about ¼ of my meal) and then walked the rest of the mall about twice over, stopping to browse Zara, H&M, Nordstrom, Neiman Marcus, Gap, Michael Kors, AllSaints, and so many others I can’t even remember. Found a skirt and a camisole and a cute little summertime dress to wear to Best Bud’s house before changing into something more fun for cocktails.
Headed home for a power nap and then over to Best Bud’s where we sipped champagne by the pool for a while and ate some snacks and then she grilled delicious salmon for us, but I’d snacked so much I barely ate that wonderful fish.
We talked about everything from her new job to my same ol’ job to her husband and kid (out of town for the weekend) to…of course, my dating life. I told her that I needed to once and for all just get over Doctor D and the fact that he’s not into me but that I still like him and would probably answer a booty call if he asked for one.
Then we went out for a girls’ night cocktail. Unfortunately, in the area where she lives there’s really nothing going on - it’s all very family oriented and everyone was either done going out to eat or they were in my downtown area (ha). But there was nothing going on. We were still having fun laughing and gossiping when all of a sudden…
The texts from Doc D started rolling in.
Y’all. He was BOOTY TEXTING!! He asked me if I wanted to come over and let him do things to me on the edge of the hot tub like we had done before! It actually shocked me. And excited me! And of course I couldn’t go right then and there, but right, wrong or indifferent, I told him that I was available the next day. Because YES.
So Best Bud and I finished out evening, closed the last place down, even. And we got a Lyft back to Best Bud’s house. I know she wanted me to stay up and dance with her, but I just didn’t have it it me at that time. It was around 1am and I was just about asleep on her couch.
So we went to bed and went to brunch in the morning and talked and talked and talked about everything under the sun…until we nearly ran out of stuff to talk about (impossible, of course, but you know what I mean).
And Doc D told me that I should come over on my way home.
So I did. And he fed me some rose and bent me over the kitchen island and had his way with me and then we went swimming in his pool.
But while we were floating around we got to talk a lot. And I found out that he’d actually taken himself off of the dating apps because he felt like he didn’t have enough time or energy to dedicate himself to dating - he’s going to be out of town for most of September - plus he really just doesn’t know what he wants…
We talked about everything under the sun (literally - it was blazing hot outside!) and when it was all said and done he asked me a question about how I felt about what we were doing and I told him that I’d love for him to be my boyfriend and I’d really like to see him more but that I’d heard his thoughts about where he stands and told him that I understand.
And then I had to leave very abruptly in time to be able to pick up the dog at daycare. I was about to miss my pick-up window!!
So, bottom line is - I got to tell Doc D how I felt and I know he heard it but I don’t know how he feels about my stance.
I got the dog and went home and took her for a short walk. Talked with my mom on the phone and that was about all I could handle from the weekend. It was time to call it a day and go to bed.
It was a good weekend, for sure. I loved my little shopping spree and my fantastic night with Best Bud. But I am still left with the longing of wanting someone in my life on a more constant basis. Doc D did text me a little last night and we texted some more today, but again, I’m not sure how he feels about my confession.
Today is Martini’s birthday. We are celebrating her 5 years (her Golden Birthday) with pupcakes and other snacks. I made her a little birthday hat with glittery pom poms and I could not love a creature more. Maybe I’ll take her to the taco joint tonight for some doggie birthday dinner.
For now, I need to go get organized for a big meeting I have with Boss tomorrow and finish up my day…
With All the Monday Love,
GS
