Thank you Focus! I have been reading up on your thread to and love hearing about how peaceful and enjoyable your new love is. You most certainly deserve it.
Thanks Nef, things are really good between us. Still waiting for some red flag or some intolerable flaw, but there is none. He is the most wonderful man I ever dated.
J-What goes better with sex than beer and beer than sex? We enjoy both, lol.
We did decide to do something different together this Wednesday. It does involve getting hot and sweaty in different positions....... Hot Yoga!!! He used to do it pretty religiously and fell out of it with the business of life. I used to go once a week prior to my injury. So we decided to check out a class together. I've worked out with guys I have dated before (FF I met at the gym) but I am a little nervous about hot yoga, it's a new one for me. I am the least flexible woman and I will be pouring sweat, and my butt will be in the air. But I think it will be lots of fun. We can be healthy too:)
My coworker still isn't back, we have a full house of inappropriate for this level of care demanding patients and families and I am still doing it on my own, working like a dog and bringing work home. There is no end in sight either. I don't need this right now. My home life is suffering and the work life balance is very important to me. Doing 2 jobs and getting paid one salary is not cool. I think I am going to just call out sick one day and let them figure it out.
It's super hard to smile around here, although my boss did just come in my office and say I am doing an excellent job and with a smile on my face.... So I guess I am just crying on the inside, lol.
I am actually totally nervous about the hot yoga date tonight. It's been so long, I am not really good at it, but I enjoy it. Passing out would be really embarrassing. It's hotter than the normal classes I take. This should be really really interesting......
D11 and I were out to dinner last night and I told her M and I were going to hot yoga together tonight. She looks at me horrified and says "aren't you naked in hot yoga?!"
I informed her we are fully clothed and she was extremely relieved.
On BD H52, W50 T27, M26 S21, D23 BD-9-Mar-16 D-15-Jan-18 Final-19-Apr-18 I am a storyteller. The story may do you no good. But a story is never for the listener. It is always for the one who tells
I think it's just a part of getting older, no? You know when you're standing next to someone really old, and they sneak one out thinking nobody has heard. Well, we're all heading that way :o)
So, no one broke wind, and no one passed out, so I like to call it a success! It was a tough class, but we both so needed it and enjoyed it. We went our separate ways after class as we both needed a shower desperately and were tired. He was so cute. he texted me after, I am sorry I couldn't give you more than a kiss, but I really had to shower and I wanted to rest up for S tomorrow. I thought it was very sweet and I told him we both needed our rest and a shower and it was just fine. Friday night he has plans with a friend and we are going to spend Saturday together.
On the way home from work I nodded off at a red light. I am just so incredibly exhausted and when I got home I threw myself in bed for an hour. I woke up 10 min before D11 left, then got ready for yoga. It's just been too much.
I did send an email to my boss yesterday explaining that I tried, but I can't do it all and that things are going by the wayside because it is just physically impossible. She actually ran up to my office (highly unlike her) told me what a wonderful job I was doing and she would help me in any she can. I did really appreciate that. I am also getting what my organization calls a P.R.I.D.E. award which is recognition for service above and beyond and comes with a $125 bonus, which is nice. And the best news of them all is that ,my coworker is coming back today sometime! I am so relieved, because I don't know how much more I can handle without consequence to my health.
Tomorrow night, I coming home from work (maybe going to the gym) and having myself a nice sushi meal in front of my fake fire.
