Good morning Dale and lurkers

That sounds like almost perfect weather for you, Dale Hope your work days fo by quick!

Ohh Rat2, I’m sorry about your arms. I think the rec place sounds like a good idea though. Yay!!! Another dinner with Terry.

Cold weather bothers my knee. Yeeesh, watching the news. 2-3 feet of snow Thurs-Sun. Looks like it’s time to move lmao!

 

[Rat2chat2]

especially in my hands.

Me too! I have had Carpel Tunnel surgery on both hands and Cubital Tunnel Syndrome surgery on my elbow. I also think I have arthritis in my thumbs. Whatever it is, it stops me from playing the guitar and uke a lot of times. Cold definitely affects my joints. Except in a hot tub.

I always think of what Bette Davis said. . .

Cold weather bothers my knee.

You don't wanna get me started on bad knees.

But what do you expect when you have walked across the US on a dead-end street? heehee My phone has kept a record of my steps since I got it 2 years ago. I figured my miles up one night when I was bored and it said I was on my way back from California.

My gosh, maybe I'm NOT in good enough shape to date and find a man.

Instead of "Fake it til you make it", I guess I am more of a "Fake it til you break it" kinda gal. heehee I wonder if you can join a dating site and only accept plastic surgeons and orthopedic doctors?

Terry usually picks me up at 4:30 to take me to supper but he said last night he wanted to bring over some of his guns and show me. He said he would be here around 1. Gosh, I wonder how many he has. heehee

Isn't it a shame that he seems to like spending time with me more than his cousin Jay? Not really. I have decided that if Jay does not want to talk to me, it is more his loss than mine. "I am WOMAN hear me roar!"

bahahahaha

Have a good day y'all!

My last physical, the dr asked if I had knee pain, I said always. He squeezed and said ohh yeah that’s crunchy. Want a referral? I said nope! Hope you had a good time with Terry! Pooooh to Jay!

Takeout for the win, Dale. Eeesh that’s a long day for you. We had tacos and I was so happy the boys pitched in and helped me.

Good morning! Yes, I had a wonderful time with Terry yesterday but I had gained a pound when I got on the scales this morning.

If you saw the breakfast I ate last night you would understand why. It was awesome. There were the regular scrambled eggs with 3 different types of meat, grits, biscuits, sausage gravy, and silver dollar pancakes that I ate 4 and wanted more. They were the absolute best tater tots I have ever put in my mouth. So crunchy. Fried to perfection.

I hope Terry never expected a woman that ate like a bird on a date cause that ain't me! heehee I enjoyed each and every bite. If I still smoked. . . I'd would have needed a cigarette after I cleaned my plate.

It was sort of funny, as we were trying down the highway I heard Jay's ringtone on my phone. I did not answer it. Not because I was trying to be snippy but because I think that would have been disrespectful to whomever I was with (male, not girlfriend). After Terry left I went to the bathroom and played Jay's message. Was pretty long. Again he started off with "I know you must be mad at me but. . ." He said he had been so busy but he wanted me to know that he had thought about me and was so sorry he has not gotten in touch. Wanted me to call him back and if I did not, he would call me again. I'm sorry. I just do not want another apology call. It is unnecessary at this point. I truly believe in 14 days, he could have found a minute to call me. Not to apologize but to just say hello. Am I thinking about this the wrong way? Of course, I will talk to him if he calls back. 99.9% of the time, I would never be rude to anyone. Sara, methinks I agree with you on the "Poooh on Jay".

Gotta run and get ready if I am going to try that exercise class. I have more to tell y'all about last night and probably more questions. heehee

Hope y'all are having a wonderful day.

Good evening lurkers

Dh picked up Chinese for dinner. Wasn’t very hungry but at least I will have something for lunch tomorrow, if they don’t close the office for the snow storm.

Yuck, I’m sorry you were sore today, Dale. Hopefully feeling better now. Glad you are off tomorrow.

Rat2, I’m glad you had a good time with Terry and that lb sounds like it was worth it!!! Good news is you can’t gain a lb in fat from one day, so that water weight will disappear with a few normal meals.

As far as not answering the phone, I am so glad you *were* busy when he called. He absolutely could have called or texted for a brief convo over the last 2 weeks and the fact that he didn’t confirms my suspicions (IMO) I do think he is interested in you or he would have stopped calling after his first apology but I feel like he’s stringing you along until the time is right FOR HIM. If he does happen to catch you, keep it casual. You have bigger and better things going for you right now!

Good evening Rat2 and Sara
I agree with Sara Rat2, you handled the situation just perfect
I don’t know if you are romantically interested in Terry or not but at least he’s being a steadfast friend for you

Today was NOT a good day. One of the male co-workers mom died earlier this week and Randy finally told him to take today off. However he hung around the shop all day with his younger brother and his SO who also works with us wasn’t focused on work but on what they were doing instead . So I wound up doing the work of 3 people Then the young brother shattered the back window of my car with a ball. My poor car looks like hell , this has been a November so far.
‘Funeral is tomorrow so I’ve been talked into working tomorrow and off Saturday instead. My poor body is in pain and it’s going to be a Tylenol P.M. night for sure.

So that was my day .

Good morning Sara


‘Yeah well I should have a couple of days off after today. The car is stuck at the shop since we’re afraid if we drive it the back windshield will completely fall out and there’s a chance of rain of course

 

[Rat2chat2]

Good news is you can’t gain a lb in fat from one day, so that water weight will disappear with a few normal meals.

Yes, you were totally right about that one pound. This morning it was gone but that does account for the other 4 I have gained since I started dating. I worked so hard to lose it that I do not want to gain it back and besides, I gave away ALL my next-sized clothes! heehee

I don’t know if you are romantically interested in Terry or not but at least he’s being a steadfast friend for you

Terry and I have been friends for so very long and I do not want to do anything that would jeopardize that friendship. But you are right, I do enjoy his company. I have started noticing little subtle changes in the way he is acting toward me and it scares me just a little bit. At first, it was weird when he hugged me. Then it turned into 2 hugs before he left. The other night it was an extended hug with rubbing up my back and hair and I am pretty sure he was going to kiss me because I turned my head and he kiss my cheek. I could be wrong and it was just a friend's peck but I don't really know for sure. I backed away quickly so I hope that told him. Since then, I have made it a point to say things that should give him the hint. I told him there would be nothing wrong with me paying for our supper every other time because we were just friends. Of course, he came back with that was not going to happen. Oh well, we will see. I hope I learned a little bit from Jay and will not make that mistake again.

So that was my day .

Bless your heart and your poor car. That's enough of all that. I hope things calm down real soon (like right now) for you.

R2 if someone is so busy they don’t have time for you they never will

That is the way I feel also. I guess I was just disappointed because at first I was attracted to him and felt safe. I did not think he would hurt my feelings at all. I am not making excuses (which is something I am prone to do) but he is an extremely busy man. Working and always helping someone do something. Hopefully, we will stay friends but he definitely does not have the time I need for whatever reason. Thank you for your male perspective because it helps me to understand some things I should know but do not.

Sara keep the snow there

I couldn't agree any more with you. I do think it is beautiful falling and I love the quiet and stillness it causes but that is it. It can do that as long as it is completely gone by the time I wake up. heehee

WHEW! A multi-post really takes it out of you.
