Mary Elizabeth (my mom's cat) had surgery yesterday and is home recovering. I'm so glad the bad part is over and now it's all about healing. The only crappy part is that I, once again, have to take more time out of my already stressed life to do her medications, check on her, take her to follow-up visits, etc. I don't begrudge the cat, but...

I am frustrated tonight!
I still don't know if I can keep the dog. She is adjusting, but the walks 3 times a day are killing me. I don't mind the daytime (6pm and 10pm), but the 3am is going to make me find her a new home. I'm sort of attached to her, but not enough so that I wouldn't be happy to find...

i agree, girls DO cuddle better (so no offense taken).
ya, that 3am stair/dog walking thing is not good. I'm sure that someone is willing to take a cool little doggy of your hands.

don't feel stupid about that... i actually thought that we could move right over the grieving process and be best friends again... shortly after we broke up, i tried to call her just to ask how her life was going... because i still care about her and all... but, it's just too painful.
i wish that i could just move on... but, i keep second guessing myself... we did have a beautiful thing for the first 4-ish years... but the last 6 months have been pretty unbearable for the both of us... i just don't know what i should do ever...
i guess eventually i'll figure it out.
*HUGS*
i hope that everything is going well for you!

Had a great lunch with Schleprock this Saturday. I never thought I would actually meet anyone on SG since I am such a social retard, but I was brave and did it. I'm glad that I did. He is sooooo nice (and very understanding of my freaky social terror). It was nice to finally be able to give him hugs in real life.

I am starting to get this sneaking suspicion that my own "Social terror" is really hurting my social life. I just don't met quaility/interesting people at work or at my place...strange. Congrats on overcoming the ST and getting out there. 
schleprock:
thanks for saying such nice things and it was very brave of you.
I am glad that the animals are starting to get along. And I don't think it's the pups fault she has such a tiny little bladder. Shame she can't learn to use the litter box.

I havent written in a while. Life has been feeling out of control for me lately. I went to a check-in visit with my Doc. on Friday (9/19) and she wants to put me on yet another medication in addition to the two I already take. I tried it on Friday night at 8pm and I wasnt able to function at all until 4pm on...

SoI guess Im not as depressed as I was a few days ago, but Im not super thrilled either.
I cant believe it, but my mother is in denial about my refusing the new truck. She called me last night and said that we had to go to the dealerships because she saw a commercial that its Ford Truck Month. If shes trying to wear...

you are not an uninteresting person. the majority who never truly examine themselves and walk through life on autopilot in apparent "success" as drones are the uninteresting ones.
your character is your own, it may take you to dark places sometimes, but pain sometimes gives us our own unique scars. it seperates us. one thing you can be sure of, is that we become interesting in this way. even if we don't always appreciate it. goodnight.

Thanks for the hug. Can always go for that.hugs back.
Im sick of having roller-coaster emotions! I had a good weekend, and today wasnt too bad, but right now I feel depressed.
I am soooo tired of this crap. I think I am going to go to bed now, which is very early for me. I just cant stand being awake anymore.
Hopefully tomorrow will be a better day.

I can understand how you feel. After a while I just accepted it and tried to move on. Last night I saw some of the commericals for anyi-depressants and they were talking about things going on for weeks, O want to know if this go on for years?
take care of yourself, big hugs,

the beauty of life is that tomorrow always is a better day (in one way or another). Like I've said before, anytime you need an ear; i have one (two actually!). And I'm not just saying that.

So, no kids at the swimming pool Sat. night. I picked up a friend of mine and dragged her there with me in case I needed a witness to my murder. We went right at 10pm when the pool is closed and got in at the last second. We quietly did laps for about 45 min. when all of a sudden some girl hops the...

Sounds like you had a great time swimming and playing with the puppies.
Hopefully work isn't treating you bad today. Luckily no seems to be bothering me tiday. That's lucky because there is a bunch of stuff I need to take care of after lunch.
I would love a month off as well.
I am going to be up that way on the weekend of the 27th. Lunch?
Religion is such a strange beast. It gives so many people so much comfort and fucks so many of them up at the same time. Just like drugs.
hugs and later,
Rodney

Goodnight all.

oh no.. i hope those kids weren't there... hha
So, swimming is no longer the meditative, peaceful thing it was. I went again today, all excited to get my fix of relaxation. Alas, there were screaming children and young guys there. My worst nightmare come true. I figured Id get in anyway. Fuck it. Ill just hang out a bit in the water and see if they leave. Oh no, the kids kept on...

Swiming is very relaxing. It's great for the mind. I hope that, somehow you will still go, because you seem to take pleasure in it so much. You shouldn't have to stop doing an activity because some parents can't handle their kids in public, ya know?
Something similar happened to me last week at the air show. There was many many people.... me and my man were sitting in the grass, waiting for the planes to take off... some kid was standing up besides me and kept hitting my ass with his foot. The first few times, I let it pass....but after a while damn, I had to tell him to back off politely but I was very direct.... he was hurting me and annoying me. His dad was with him and he NEVER said a word to his kid. What do these adults teach their kids? Not alot. Respect surely isn't one of them.
Anyhow, I hope you have a good weekend. Anything planned?
::sending lots of hugs your way:::

I guess I could get up really early and go to the pool. I always feel like I look like Ron Jeremy even though I know I really don't. I have a hard time floating since I tend to sink to the bottom but that might not be the case now since I have put on weight. Damn my sweet tooth and eating to make myself feel better.
Everydso often I end up staying up overnight for work but am not very good at it and I don't think I ever have been. You have to be careful doing it well because going without sleep for too long can cause permanent changes in your brain chemistry.
Today I am going to look at dispoable camera where I can get a cd of digital images. I can at least end up with pictures of Taco.

your poetry is very deep, as always.

Hope your Mom's kitty gets better. I hate the idea of sick kitties.
Good luck finding a girl to cuddle with.
