Sailing Solo

Continued:
He maintains that I have a low E.Q. which I think is not untrue and he has had a few times where he wanted to block me but hasn't because he knows I "don't have a mean bone in my body,". It very interesting dealing with a partner who has their emotions flying in the breeze. There is no passive in his aggressive. He is a control freak like Prof who just doesn't get why people don't function in the same way they do and gets really frustrated with what is pretty in the normal range of human behavior.

Prof has been all text chatty on his latest trip. I have not been initiating chat at all but he is regularly sending pics and chat. I have been reading a few articles on "high functioning anxiety" and my word but a lot of the traits are found in Prof.

My take on all of this is to once again back off. I will put out invites and ideas but won't ask repeatedly for participation. I am still a bit nervous about travelling by myself, which is incredibly sad considering the places around the world that I have been to and lived in by myself. I'll think more about that. I am really backing off from all round texting. Work is slowing down with my imminent departure so I am not on my phone all the time. Mr PoD got his knickers in a twist when I didn't respond to a text for about 5 hours. I have created a real expectation in people for very prompt replies, no more will I do that people, no more! Well, not so much :D
 
Mr Chef popped up today and replied to a message that was part of a conversation 2 weeks ago. I had been reading an article about restaurants and recognized a the name of a chef he had worked and sent him the link plus a couple of ones that made the " ones to watch" segment of the article. So today he said," We should go there at some point." So rather than suggest actual dates I just let him chat, and I did not mention any kind of meet up at all, restaurant visiting or otherwise. Interesting to see if he now asks to meet. It is a game, a game I am not terribly good at playing. Chat, wait , chat ,wait; they called the website "Plenty of Fish" for a reason. I would like to eat at a place that uses foam in the menu, I would find that entertaining. I had best not tell Mr PoD as his idea of a good time is Food and Fuck, though he did say he didn't really like fucking. I feel like Yoda, " Do or do not, there is no endless texting." Ok, so I changed it up a bit. But so many people do not work that way, chat, chat, chat, pie in the sky. I make shit happen, it does take a huge amount of effort and perseverance but things can be achieved if you put a plan in place and keep working at it. I work my ass off to provide for my kids and yet make time for the people who are important and do the things that I enjoy. I have been wanting to go to a particular restaurant in the city for the past two years and next weekend I go with Mr PoD! I would like to hit one these high end restaurants with Mr Chef and have him explain what is going on with the menu, combination of learning with the real experience of tasting, touching and feeling the food at the same time.
And speaking of things I enjoy, time to go watch the Expanse. I have been saving it up all week.

Mr Chef: I researched the menu at one of the restaurants and no, we will not be going there, or at least I won't. More money for the basic tasting menu than many people make in a week. :eek: I am sure it is a fabulous experience but I'd rather camp for a week for the same cost. Mr Chef then sent me an unsolicited dick pic this afternoon. My response was "Well, hello." No mention of actually meeting up.
Mr PoD popped up after 48 hours of silence. He had asked me for a professional opinion, I asked for more data, then... silence, he asked me today why I hadn't replied and I said I had but he hadn't replied. ( ball is in your court ) I really really hate being asked for my professional opinion. I had already told him that I wasn't comfortable doing it and of course he asked anyway. It's like someone asking 1 + what = equals what? I can't answer that. What is any of the whats?
Silence...but what you do think the answer is? I don't know I don't have enough information. Have a guess. Yeah. It;s not exactly a turn it off an on again type scenario.
I am on day 4 no cigarettes. I love smoking. My little one asked me not to kill myself. Brutal. I thought I was being super sneaky, apparently not.
I quit 4 plus years ago after Prof's main number one love of his life Ms drama queen veto Text died. I started again with Mr Tile as he was smoking while working on the the tile. 6 months later... back up to a pack a day. $10 a day habit. $300 per month. Wow. I have quit at various points in my life but it is a fight the whole time. My brain loves it some nicotine. Gym, yoga, running, healthy eating, not much of a drinker, bit of a sugar habit blah blah blah, I love to smoke.
 
After some fairly set plans for Mr Chef to call me tonight after an appointment, he has not. As I know the nature of the appointment, I am assuming it did not go well at all and the news was probably the definite end of his career in that field. I know his family lives one street away and he has a good network of friends. We do not have enough of a relationship for me to part of the instant news updates.

I had a very good Wednesday with Prof but he appears to be totally out of control with the number of project plates that he is spinning. I offered to help with some of the basic likes getting vehicles smogged and registered. All his vehicles are out of registration by months. The house is chaos. Paperwork everywhere. When I told him I am concerned about how much he has going on he said that this is the lifestyle that enjoys the most, "lots of exciting things happening at once." He appeared borderline manic. It was one of the ah ha moments when I see why he puts me aside for periods of time then pops back up again. he loads up with so much that there is simply not the "bandwith" ( as he has said for years ) to manage relationships. As a person who is giving up the crazy work lifestyle to focus on my relationship with my kids and to be a fully present part in their lives..; it's like recovering addicts watching their old friends living with on-going addictions. I have lived it but more because I had to for the money. He has this endless need to be the best, to have the best, do the most exciting things, but in the drive to achieve you lose the actual joy of experiencing what you have. He is who he is, and I am who I am.
On the plus side I got him to sleep for the whole night, he says he surviving on a few hours per night and naps. It is actually scary. But the sex was great both at night and in the morning. There is something incredibly flattering about being told the bathroom remodel was designed around Prof's favorite ways to fuck me :) He has said that before but I don't tire of hearing it.

I am off to fancy dinner night with Mr PoD tomorrow. I got my nails done today and will go for a haircut tomorrow. We don't have any plans to meet after tomorrow. Pretty much he either comes to me or we won't see each other for a month. I am guessing he won't bother to come here and will choose the month wait option. I'll have a think about if that bothers me much or not. It is pretty much par for the course, I choose partners who are unavailable and then really can longer pretend surprise when they are unavailable. It is actually me who is booked up the pretty much the whole of July as i have the kids, so it is either all 3 of us or none of us.

Mr Dom is being weird and caving. He has explained there is lots of work stress and he changed work locations again so is trying to settle into a new night shift routine. But at least he explains why is quiet.
I am really wondering if I am just at the far end of the stable states of emotions. I don't really have the luxury of wallowing in anything for any period of time. Kids don't well in chaos. I don't do well in chaos, things get a bit untidy but the bills are paid and there are always clean socks. Up and down is not my idea of a good time though there seem to be many who function like that.
 
Mr Chef popped up about 10 minutes after I logged off. His appointment lasted 3 hours and involved the use of the words arteries and scopes. He said he had come home exhausted, sore and went to bed. He sent me a few pics as I was heading to bed. How do I end up with the these men who are up all night and go to bed at like 4 or 5 am? I sent a reply to a text at about 6 am the other morning and he replied, he had been up all night.
 
The dinner was amazing. Mr PoD ordered 3 starters, beet salad with goat cheese, stuffed peppers and falafalesque. The presentation was gorgeous and there were mini pale blue pansy flowers as garnish. I love pansies and grow them every year, so it was a bit fun to eat them and not just admire them. The next course involved wild mushrooms and then the main was delicious curry. There was so much food. Mr PoD always over orders so he has lunch the next day and there was plenty for my lunch too. The conversation flowed nicely, he does monologue quite a bit, and does seems easily annoyed.
The sex was pretty good, I could have done with a bit more digesting time before we got into it though! I am finding him not to be very creative in the sex department. The first couple of times he made what seems to have been quite the effort to set up scenes with props and toys etc, but the last couple of times have been quite similar and it has the feel of his regular routine.
 
Mr PoD and the angry continues... via text, this time it is because I said I didn't have the kids for a week so he booked a fancy restaurant for Sunday. He didn't actually ask if I was free on Sunday before making the reservation. I replied that I might be out of town but wasn't sure yet if it is was actually happening. He has now cancelled the reservation and says I am jerking him around, putting him in second place and trying to have my cake and eat it. I replied that he should pick up the phone and call if he is feeling frustrated about something. He has gone out of town until till the weekend himself so... either he calms down or he does not.
The whole zero-angry in 6.1 seconds is really quite the eye-opener.
The Survey says - mom and Roomie - he should never have made reservations without asking first, which I agree with. He is treating me like either one of his corporate employees or one of his kids, neither of which is acceptable.

I am kind of waiting to hear from Prof about if we are going away or not, but it is actually more sensible if I don't go anywhere so I won't be upset if he says he can't.

I had court yesterday and the ex got his 50% of legal and physical custody returned though no change in the kids actually being with me more. He does get to claim the tax credit for one of the kids, though I should still be able to claim the daycare and the child as a dependent. But of course I am now stressing my tax bill. I messed with my withholding for the last 2 months at my job to have enough put aside to cover the upcoming 2 months with no income. I spent quite a lot of time with the IRS withholding calculator this morning and think I will be ok. I usually get too much withheld so I get a nice solid lump come tax time, so there should be enough wiggle room. But, there is still the worry until I see how it actually washes out in the long run. So no vacation with Prof is not actually a bad thing. Also, I want to take the kids camping for maybe 5 nights, so that might have to do for the summer trip. I can't complain, Prof paid for the city trip over spring break so I have already had a fabulous vacation this year.

I am not texting Mr Chef. He wants to send dick pics but can't actually commit to a day and time to meet. He has said before that he doesn't like me doing all the driving and feels it unfair and doesn't want to ask. I said I don't care (it is an easy drive to him compared the drive to see Mr PoD ) and am happy to do it. Whatever his reason is, I can't be bothered to keep him entertained when he pops up.

Now I have 9 days with no kids, not a lot of money and no work. My work email got disconnected yesterday. I have yet to quit checking my phone every 5 minutes so it is probably a good way to quit cold turkey.

I am making myself a mental list of projects and am off to the gym for the second time today. All the good-bye lunches, drinks and treats rolled the pounds back up to where I was this time last year.
 
Mr PoD just unmatched me from Bumble. He tells me his usual style is to break up with people in text, so maybe that will happen next. It is likely he is done as I had sent him a message not all that long ago asking if he is around, seems a bit too coincidental or it maybe one of a million other reasons and I am over reacting. We shall see what the next few hours hold.

Prof is not likely to show this evening. I texted this morning for a status update on the vacation and he said there had been a medical emergency and he is watching his "kind of" grandkids. It sounded very serious.

I am really struggling with all this free time. Picking away at house projects, laundry, reading, gym, etc. I am not used to this amount of downtime. I miss the kids.
 
I have give up chillaxing for now as I am not very good at it. I can do it in blocks of time, maybe a couple of hours to sit and read or watch some tv, but not having a schedule is not my style. Relaxing is easier when busy, if that makes sense, I can really appreciate having a sit down if I have been rushing around all day. I could start a big house project like painting but I can't really afford it. Projects like that seem cheap till you end up heading back to the hardware store for the millionth time.
I got up today and cleaned out a car, did more laundry, and met Roomie for some water time. He says I'll be sore tomorrow but I think I have been working out enough recently that I should be fine. I am heading off to see Prof shortly which will involve the pool and hopefully lots of kinky sex. I need some good bdsm time.

No word from Mr PoD.

I did just talk to a Bumble guy on the phone but it looks like we can't meet till August. He seems nice enough.
 
I had a very good weekend with Prof. Lots of sex, hanging out and some naps. I was worried about simply hanging out with him as we are always busy, but I thought I would just see what he came up with. He said he needed to go out to his property and do some work so I went with him. It was very hot to do physical labor but we would work for an hour then sit for 30 minutes in the shade and work for an hour. He seemed to appreciate the help. We also worked out the outline for the trip. We are going to rent an RV for a week and drive approx 2000 miles round trip to get to some random point of interest that kid #1 wants to see. I want to encourage the desire to pick a point and then go. For me, it is always about the journey and discovering things on the way.

When I went on the trip with Mr Dom we ended up at the Mammoth Caves in Kentucky. We were driving along the road and I saw the signs. I knew about the caves from school and never imagined I would either be A) living in the USA or B) ever have a reason to go to Kentucky ( it is not high on the list of places international tourists tend to go ). But the Mammoth Caves had been on my bucket list since I was about 13 or 14. As caves go, they are not the most impressive, but it was such a thrill to end up in a place, by almost pure chance, that I had imagined seeing for years and years. I want the kids to develop that interest in seeing the world. When I talked to the kids today #2 said they wanted to go somewhere on vacation that is out of town and to see a new place, preferably with a pool :)

Mr PoD popped up yesterday morning wanting to know why I had not addressed his texts about not wanting to be in second place and not giving out too much information about what we do with other people.
I can admit to having slightly messed up with scheduling, although I still say you shouldn't make reservations without actually asking the person if they are free. And as to sharing too much information; well, I said I was supposed to be going on holiday but didn't actually know if it was happening or not. That was it. He shares far more information with me about who he sees ( I don't ask he just tells ).

I have truly been burned too many times over other partners to have any interest any more. General dating information I enjoy, but I don't want or need to know specifics. Kitchen table poly will never be my style.

I did reply to Mr PoD that I am willing to go and see him. I have nothing else happening tonight. But he is hard work with this almost always in a state of annoyance and irritation behavior.
 
I am getting the hang of this free time malarky. I did a lot of bits and pieces this morning and then read all afternoon. I am binge reading The Expanse series and finally got The Churn ( Amos novella ) today, flew through that and went back to my other book. I am expecting Abbadon's Gate tomorrow. I love the library, every place I have lived I have joined the local library and the digital library is great for grabbing something at the weekend or waiting for a book on order. I then did a bunch of research for the up-coming vacation which I really enjoyed.

Mr PoD: We talked on the phone after having yet another weird text conversation. He keeps telling me I am smart but act like an idiot ( often true :D ) He is always right. He thinks about things and comes to a conclusion and there is no room for argument, because he is always right. The light went on for me after I had taken a few minutes to think over the pone call. Very insecure person who needs his ego stroked on a regular basis and feels better about himself by passing out back handed insult/compliments.

As we are not likely to see each other for the next few weeks, the odds of him driving to see me are nil, I think it will be fine to do the fade away. My recent attempts to end things nicely with people has too often resulted in the "But I'm a nice guy," text rants and that is a bit scary, best to let him break up with me. I am an idiot with a low E.Q. so he is way better off without me.

Seeing Eeyore tonight. I should really give him another name. I am not good at the names and that is one a friend came up a couple of years ago and it stuck in my head. Mr Six. We see each other about every 6 weeks or according to his reckoning. I think we have been seeing each other almost 4 years at this point. We catch up, eat and have sex and he goes home. Works out just fine.

Quite a lot of chat and planning with Prof. The usual Wednesday will be happening tomorrow. He said he will need to stay up late and work, as if I have ever tried to stop him working and as if I ever stay up late:rolleyes::D

I have been doing quite a few Bumble chats, and that's what they mostly are, chat. I now unmatch anyone who doesn't at least the raise the possibility of meeting within the first few days.

Apart from that, lots of physical activity, yesterday was gym and bike ride. Still picking away at the house stuff. I pulled all the screens off and washed as much window as I could reach without leaning out and not standing on step ladders or chairs. I currently have no health insurance which is scary as fuck. I have read up on retroactive COBRA so will complete the paperwork and have it ready to mail if we need it. It costs over $2k a month, which I don't have just sitting around, so fingers crossed no one does anything stupid.

I am looking forward to the kids being back and then complaining that I am exhausted.
 
I changed Eeyore's name in my sig to Mr Six.
We had a very nice evening, same format as we usually have, small plates, a couple of drinks, lots of chat and some really good hard fucking. He has the hair pulling totally down to a fine art. There was some choking too, which I love. He is very firm and physical, strong movements and lots of position changes. He says he only does this style of sex with me, so I appreciate that he goes outside of his box.
After I finished work almost 2 weeks ago now, I deleted my work email account from my phone, not realizing that it contained most of my phone contacts. It had been closed down by work and kept flashing up annoying "enter your password" notifications. My phone has been a mess ever since. I have tried a number of tips and tricks to get the contact names back but they seem to be gone. The upshot is I will have to manually write down the numbers from text messages and create a new list of contacts. Apparently, while messing with settings and doing various resets, I turned of my voicemail and various other notifications. Yesterday I came across a bunch of voicemail messages that I hadn't seen or played. I am that person who says their phone is messed up and means it.
I thought Mr Dom had fallen off the face of the planet, and there were 2 phone calls from him that I had missed. We had a good chat yesterday, he says the night shift is killing him and he is really struggling to get anything done and feels permanently wiped out. He apologized for not being his usual chatty self but spends most of his days off sleeping and feeling out of sorts. He is applying for other jobs.
Not long till the kids come back! I feel a bit bad that they are coming back and 3 hours later I'll be leaving for the comedy show with my ex-work friends. But we will have a whole 3 weeks together to drive each other nuts :D
Heading to Prof's sometime today after the gym and various house items. I pulled all the curtains yesterday and hung them back up straight out of the washer. They dried in no time due to the heat, exciting stuff, eh?

Prof can't make it in the road trip, not a big surprise, as I knew there was a lot of work stuff coming up. We may just have 2 of us vacation in August. We will see. Money is an issue. I need to book plane tickets for a wedding and of course flying at the weekend is always more expensive.
Prof and I were jokingly talking about kids and retirement. - My kids plan to have me live with them and take of their 1 million babies! When we play "Game of Life" I always skip the "having children" track and they put 2 kids in my plastic car anyway :D It is a joke, please don't think they take it anyway but a joke. - So I said to Prof I'll end up with my kids for retirement and they currently seem keen on the idea ( give them another 20 years and it will be different ) he said his kids would never offer to take him. I think that is sad but true. He doesn't have a good relationship with either of them. It very much reinforces my plan to downgrade work for at least the next few years. I negotiated for money for time in my new job. Mr Six is allowed to take off whatever time he wants in his job, there is no vacation or sick time. As long as he gets whatever he need to get done, done then he can take time off. When I went out with Mr Six the other night he said he had never been with me when I wasn't also working on my phone at the same time. Pretty sad.

Mr Chef popped up again, the ongoing medical stuff is a challenge.

I have made my Bumble account " not public" as I am not willing to pay for the sitter for first dates. I did offer to do that for Mr PoD and the one bumble guy I have been talking too, but I don't either of them will actually try to schedule.

Off to the comedy show tonight with my work friends. It all looked fairly cheap till you factor in baby sitter costs. argh.
 
The comedy show night was great, well known comedian in a beautiful venue.

The trip with the kids was great, a definite success for our first road trip of any duration. I am recovering from all the driving and will go to yoga today to continue to stretch out my right leg, even with a lot of cruise control 2,000 miles was a lot to do by myself.
Dating and relating is an odd mishmash. Mr PoD popped up wondering where I was, apparently forgot I was going on holiday. I am feeling rather meh about him as I am putting in all the work. He asked me when I was coming to see him; I already told him I was tied up till August and he would need to come and see me if we are to meet.
The Bumble guy has ghosted, too long between talking and meeting and not enough enthusiasm about setting a day and time.
I had a nasty chat with some dude on Bumble which left me quite put off about OLD again and was texting Roomie about it. We were discussing various dating websites and POF came up, so I signed into my account for the first time in 2 years and got into a conversation with a guy almost immediately. We have since been texting and phone talking up a storm and plan to meet when he returns from a wedding next week. I have not brought up any mention of open relationships but don't get the vibe that he has multiple partners. We will see what happens if and when we actually meet. I have been thinking about the ethics of not sharing that I currently have active partners but I don't think any of those partners would actually care all that much if I fell of the face of the planet and stopped seeing them, how sad is that?
Prof might. He is coming back from a work trip on Weds so we are working out if he comes to me or I go there with the kids and sleeping bags.
While driving, I thought a lot about Prof having one of his other partners at his house when he had his family over for the 4th. He didn't ask me. Maybe it was not particularly planned or that person is a big 4th fan but it is stinging that I feel a little like the side-chick, even after all these years. I know I am not good terribly good a group social situations but I feel like he has excluded me from meeting his friends and family for years. I was contemplating asking him if I could go to one of his family reunion events with him. He is quite happy to go to mine and has meet most of my family on multiple occasions. I am fairly sure the reunion is after I start my new job, so I couldn't go even if he said yes and even if it did work out, then what? I am just not the person who enjoys big events. Ugh. I feel quite undateable.

When we came back from vacation I put a load of laundry in the machine and it started leaking on the floor, I did a bit rearranging and tried again, more water. I spent a good part Sunday watching youtube and trying to source a new gasket or door bellow as it is called. While waiting for that to arrive from Amazon, I cleaned out the dryer up to the point of putting my hand up the wall and cleaning the exhaust pipe. The part arrived yesterday and the whole process took about 9 hours to install it, with a few breaks. It was nightmare due to the fact the videos I were watching were not exactly the same model and they kept saying part of the rim needed to be tucked in. Every time I got the main rim on ( which was a battle in and of its self) it would pop off when I tried to tuck the next part in. It was hot in the garage and I was sweating hard and did end up calling an appliance repair guy who said he couldn't make till the next day. Eventually, I found another video where the second rim was not tucked in. Ah ha! Success. Talk about feeling proud! My hands are so sore today and my arms hurt from dragging the thing back and forward. But I did it myself :D
Lots more talk and chat with Mr Car, the third night up in a row, we talked till 1 a.m. last night. I am putting the brakes on the sexy talk a bit, I told him I want to get the first meeting done before getting too involved with that. He was fine about it. We have talked quite a lot about sex and BDSM but not in the "Are you wearing something sexy now?", sense. We had tentatively scheduled to meet on Tuesday and now he wants to change it to Weds. Makes me wonder slightly due to the current climate of non-commital meetings and then ghosting.
Prof is back tonight. I am looking forward to seeing him.
 
Last night with Prof was really good, catching up on his recent trip and my road trip with the kiddos. The sex was great; hot and intense. I asked him about next week and he said he was going to try and schedule his return flight to be back in time for something similar to last night. Much as I complain about him, it did remind that he says I am the person he sees most regularly and he really tries to not cancel Weds nights.
Mr Car is still chatting up a storm, said he wishes I was with him at the resort for the wedding. :D I haven't even met him yet! But he is doing a lot of celebratory drinking and getting a bit carried away. He did say tonight that he doesn't usually drink anywhere so much and it is just this a big week for the family and is doing a lot of celebrating. I said I understand that and I am not judging, though to be honest I kind of was a little :eek:
We were talking on the phone last night about OLD (he loves to phone talk, yeah! ) and he said he was not into multi-dating, and always talks to women on on the phone before arranging to meet, saying that if they can't hold a phone conversation then he won't meet them. He then went on to tell me a story about a woman he was talking to on the phone the night before and decided he wouldn't meet her in person because there was no phone chemistry. And then he realized that he had just said he doesn't multi-date. He is calling now...
 
Mr Car: so cute, stepped out of the rehearsal dinner to call me, sent me pics from the church and his room. I can't get a selfie out him though, says he will get a family pic from his mom and send it.

He seems so normal! He is very into me and is oozing NRE from every pore.
The last time I did NRE was with Mr Dom and that was 2.5 years ago, my experiment with a rainbow sparkle chocolate covered boyfriend. This is way out of my comfort zone, someone enthusiastic and into me. It's what I want but yet don't want. And we still haven't met! I am so very aware that phone and text is not real but I am trying not to keep bringing that up as it presents as very pessimistic. He says he is a "the glass is half full person", I am a "the glass is currently holding 50% of its capacity." I just don't think any of it is real till you actually meet. He did ask if we could bump the first meeting from Tuesday till Wednesday as he is concerned about his Monday flight being delayed. Ummm, it's a 1.5 hour flight. But we are going to try for Tuesday as we can't wait and I will pay for the sitter, ouch. It's either that or wait till Friday when the kids go to their dad. If you get to Wednesday then Friday is not much different time wise but makes a difference money wise. Being unemployed sucks, though technically I am between contracts.

On an an entirely different note: My kids passed the "swim test" at the local pool. It means they can now go in the deep end where there are tires tubes and climbing walls; you climb and then fall back into the pool. I wanted them to pass this test before the end of the summer. I have been taking them swimming at every opportunity this summer. All the road trip hotel had pools and that was not coincidence. So, they can both swim the width of the pool and then tread water for 30 seconds. I have been very laid back with them about the whole thing, the whole " if you don't pass then no big deal" very relaxed and no pressure approach, but inside I was so hoping they could do it. Swimming is something you need to do as one of the most basic life safety tools. I used the tubes as the lure to work on building their swimming strength, a fun goal for them but I want them to be water safe. I have had issues with their dad over swimming lessons, he refuses to let them do lessons in "his parenting time" even if I pay and transport. And we are talking 2 week classes here, not huge on going time commitments. How proud was I today? I sat at the side of the pool, being nonchalant about it all on the outside and inside wanting to be one of those mad screaming sports parents. I did encourage them but was very calm about it, no shouting Go Go Go!
I taught my kids how to ride bikes too, taking the training wheels off and running around the parking lot at the old apartment day after day. Maybe I wrote about it on here. I had to bribe kid #1 with the promise of a lego set. Kid #1 made kid #2 do the swim test first. Same as riding the bike. Kid #2 did it first and then when they took off kid #1 was willing to try. #1 is a bit spectrumy as in Autism Spectrum and yes, I know what I am talking about. Prof is spectrumy but gets really annoyed if I mention it. It's kind if hilarious watching #1 interact with Prof, it's why they had the falling out a couple of years ago, rigid interacting with rigid.
What the hell am I going to do with monogamist Mr Car and Prof? The others really don't come into it. Meet first, got to the first meeting over and done with.
 
Is there anything more annoying than seeing people's fun OLD pics as being places and things they did with you???? I am back on POF and there is Mr Dom. He actually sent me some pics yesterday of a place he had been over the weekend and I am like WTF ( to myself ). Drives me nuts. Prof with his Bumble of pics of place I suggested we go and took pics and Mr Dom all, "Look where I went, you and the kids would love it." Yes, I know we would enjoy it because I fucking suggesting it!!!!! Come up with your own fun shit to do! One of my major strengths is researching fun stuff to do and planning how to do it and then... "Oh, look what I did."
One of my annoyances at work, is when during meetings, people suggest one of my ideas/plans and I sit there thinking ummm, we discussed this issue and this was solution I presented. I never speak up because mostly I don't care, but the OLD pics!!!!!
Mr Car is is currently sending me pics from the wedding. I told him I would have a shot of tequila for every pic he sent me which contained more than his hand. I am currently pretty buzzed, which is American for drunk. He is really hot but every pic has his mouth covered with either a hand or a glass. there is a reason for this, I just asked him if he doesn't have any teeth.
I must admit to also being a sucker for a man in a shirt. I am sooooo sick of freaking board shorts and flip flops. Prof often wears a shirt. I appreciate any shirt that has a collar and is not a t-shirt, at least once in a while.
