More to complain about is, the new guy I had a dinner date with last Saturday hasn't been back in touch. I waffled over whether I should contact him. Tuesday I decided I'd give him a quick text. He responded fairly quickly, saying he was preparing for a condo board meeting that evening, how was I? I said I was fine and looking forward to seeing him again soon. He didn't respond to that, nor has he since!
What the hell? He told me at the end of our date he had fun and wanted to see me again. He texted me again that evening saying thanks and let's do this again. Then... nothing?
I wonder if me being poly ended up freaking him out once he had time to think more about it. Also, near the end of our date, I asked him, so what are you doing the rest of the night? Just out of curiosity. I think he thought I meant, let's keep hanging out, because he invited me back to his place! Oops. I declined since I didn't feel it was appropriate. I wasn't super turned on or anything, I had things to do at home, and I felt a nice 2 hours was sufficient for a first date. He lives a half hour away from my town, and the restaurant was only 5 minutes from my house, so if anyone was going anywhere, he was coming to my place. But I didn't want him to come over yet, quite.
Now I guess the ball is in his court.
Well. I've got chiro again today, which should help. I am out of visits covered by insurance, but the chiro knows that and has discounted my payments, which is nice of him. I had tried to whittle visits down to once a week, but obviously I am not ready for that. In fact, the way I felt this week, I'd have liked a Wednesday appointment as well as the Mon and Friday ones.
I should text Punk to come over. He rarely initiates. Seeing him will probably cheer me up.
Pixi has a fungal infection from her kink with her Master. Too much latex clothing for too long. He has ordered disinfectant for the clothing. He said in all his reading on this kink he never heard about people getting yeasty, but of course it makes sense that being inside non breathable material for hours on end could cause this kind of problem! Pixi isn't suffering horribly, she using an antifungal cream on a couple itchy areas, and shampooing with Selsun Blue. But her Master doesn't seem to want to see her until she is better! Sucks for her, but I guess if he can't use the latex, there is nothing else to be done, from his POV.
Two days ago, pixi found out one of her friends from her home area passed away suddenly, from cancer discovered only 2 months earlier. She's been grieving. He was a somewhat older guy, one of those grizzled hippie types, so hard to tell his age, but I am guessing mid to late 50s. She isn't super close with him, but has known him 20 years, and used to hang out with him a lot when she still lived in the area. I've met him several times on visits to the area, he is a character. Was.
So, a memorial service is being planned, possibly for May 1. He has a lot of friends and acquaintances in the area, since he was very involved in the music scene, and always on the teams planning and working at music events and festivals, for decades. Pixi wants to go. She's been jonesing to go home for a visit lately anyway. This will be the kick in the pants to do it. I won't go, of course, since a 7 hour drive is out of the question for me! She will probably stay a week.
Otherwise, since I can't do much outdoors, I've occupied my time organising and rearranging my kitchen. I've redone dish displays in 2 areas, and done some deep spring cleaning to the extent I can manage. I've also been reading more books, serious literature, to occupy my mind while my body is out of whack. I might get on the "adult coloring" bandwagon too.
I want to plan a family party soon. My older daughter has returned from Texas after 5 years. I've heard secondhand she fears she has Marfan's syndrome, and hasn't been working in a while. Which is why she finally came home. I've been hearing how it's going from my ex and my son.
We haven't spoken in 2 years. She has some kind of grudge against me about how I handled her younger sister when she was on drugs. I created some boundaries, to be sure, but younger daughter and I have been on good terms since she got clean. Which has now been 2+ years! My older daughter is neurotic and holds a grudge. She has moved in with my ex husband and he tells me she is getting on MassHealth to prepare for getting help for her physical health issues...
I don't know if she would come to a family party at my house or not. I sure hope she will, and we can rebuild our relationship. We used to be super close up til her late teens, when she got into an abusive relationship with her first gf. She is paranoid, dropped off of Facebook, and reads a lot of conspiracy theories on reddit. It's a shame she's gotten so weird. She used to be close with pixi too, as my other 2 kids are, but she stopped talking to her too, when she cut me off.

I really hope the chiro helps today and you get some relief!
