One Step at a Time - September 2015

[NoraC]

Hey Blue - how are you doing? I was glad to see that your birthday got better.

Dottie - Enjoy football. And get some rest (sounds like you need it :heartthumbs: )

Fennel - where are you????

[Rusty]

POETS DAY!! Good Morning, Everyone! I am home today but I have lots of appts. I hope everyone has a great day, and yes, Fenny, please check in!!!

[fennel]

Sorry for going AWOL...very busy day yesterday.

Dottie, isn't Jerry the one who wants the "friends with benefits, no strings attached" situation? Forgive me if I'm incorrect- I really need to put a physical chart together so that I can be truly informed, lol!

I only hope that in the distant future, I will have so many babes vying for my attention!

Going to read back and see what I missed...

[fennel]

Yesterday I worked out, went to a noon meeting, took my mom mall walking, called the attorneys and made appts. for consultations (which was emotionally really difficult), sleuthed for one more atty. to contact, made supper and watched an interesting doco about the way our culture views women and girls- it extended into eating disorders, bullying, sexual assault, etc. Not exactly an upper, but it was interesting and ultimately hopeful.

The attorney stuff was really hard for me to do- I've been procrastinating for ages. Legalese and finances are not my first language. Mrs. Fen moves easily in that world, while I operate from a place of fear. One of the attorneys responded to my email on her own and seemed very warm. The other attorneys (the one that mrs. Fen's atty. recommended) assistant answered my email- apparently, I made a faux pas when I referred to the atty. as "Ms." Wexler...the assistant referred to her as "Attorney" Wexler. La-di--dah! She does phone consults, while the other one meets in person. I do need to have a third choice to round things out, I think.

I know that this wretched experience will make me stronger in ways I never knew, yada, yada...but I do wish I was on the other side of it. And did I mention that I am NEVER getting married again?

[fennel]

Howdy Blue, Liz, Rusty, SKendall...
Liz, did you get some pool time in?

Mama, I hate driving in bad weather like that...it's so stressful! I hope you have a good weekend.

Nora, what do you have planned for the weekend?

[paulywogg]

Morning all,sounds like a busy day you had Fen,what's on the agenda today? Started stupid woman crap and I should have realized last week that I was PMSing so stoopid,I knew it too,I have a tracker on my phone and when my mood starts getting weird I check it,didn't check it last Friday,should have! Think I would a been at 60 something days sober this week, grrr,99 cent store today,gonna try McDonald's buttermilk chicken sandwich they keep advertising (even though I hate McDonald's) but I keep seeing the commercial and if its gross Winslow will get the rest hope everyone is well,been sorta quiet here

[Dottie Belle]

Morning all
fen Dave is the one who wants FWB. Jerry has been around a few months...we have been off and on. He is kind of a control person and we seem to get along for a while then butt heads about something. He still works and is a manager and tends to be bossy.
Gym at noon then I need groceries. May see Jerry tonight not sure. These men are becoming more trouble than they are worth...LOL

I wouldn't consider him if he's controlling...but that's just me. Both of my past long term relationships were with controlling people, so I have some serious self examining to do.

Got any weekend dates planned?

Pauly, I think it's a good idea to track your cycle. That way, you'll know what's up when you start feeling weird.

Let me know how the sandwich is...they make it look so good, but like you I'm not a McDonald's fan.

I have decided to fill my weekend with hiking and garage sales.

[Dottie Belle]

yep fen the control part does bother me. But he does have some other attributes...but time will tell. I am in no hurry to get into any long term relationship.
No dates planned for the weekend. But that could change.

[NoraC]

Morning all....

Pauly - I remember that my monthly (when I started peri menopause) caused major issues. I think it's great that you are tracking that and noticing that the hormones could be causing the issues.

Fen - glad to see you. There is just so much going on with you. I'm truly sorry about having to find an attorney. I'm glad that you are talking to 3 different ones though. This is important.
I have to agree with the controlling people though. Nope - not into that.

Dottie - enjoy yourself.

Rusty, SK, Liz, Mama, FT, Blue, Addy, Cowboy, G Man, NS and everyone else that reads. I hope that you all are having a wonderful day.

I hope that anybody that lurks know that they are always welcome to post. We are open and welcoming to anyone & everyone. Please join us.

[Lizann]

I'm at work and not a good day I might add. Couple of more hours thankfully.
We may go apple picking tomorrow, we shall see. Just a quick check in. My boss is on vacation so it's a little easier to post.
Pauly 60 days is still 60 days! That's terrific.

[paulywogg]

No Liz,I would've been 60 tomorrow hope your day gets better,Nora,I'm usually on track and on guard cuz my period has caused me to drink MANY times!so dumb,just got back from docs,she wants me to keep on nasacort,add mucinex she says our air here sucks! Think I'm gonna go to Redbox and get a movie,I wanna see "age of Adelaide" but not when hubs is home,too embarrassing haha

[NoraC]

Gosh Pauly - I hope you start feeling better. I never heard of Age of Adelaide. I'm going to Google it.

Liz - sorry you are having a bad day. It's been bad here too. I cried on Wed, my friend cried yesterday and another employee cried to me today.
Apple picking sounds like so much fun!!!

[fennel]

I would love to see that movie...and go apple picking! There are several orchards in the area and it's that time of year....maybe I could make some apple crumble for my sister wives.
