Title: Just say something
Post by: Cindy on April 18, 2013, 06:21:40 PM
A new thread for those times when you wake up and just feel like letting people know you are OK.


I love you people, keep well and have a wonderful day.

Just got up about an hour ago. Didn't really get a good night of sleep because my left thigh is killing me. Crappy thing is I'll have to go through this ache again in the next 17 days. Thank you so much, Mr. Testosterone. ::)

Otherwise, I'm feeling pretty good. Thinking to do some drawing for real today.
And I might see a friend I haven't seen in ages today, too. :D

Woke up early today, really for no reason I understand, would've rather just stayed buried under the pillows and blankets for the whole weekend. But, my wife is amazing and made me breakfast and was really sweet so I started feeling better.

The real problem is that I'm being forced to go to a "guys weekend" tonight for heavy drinking and the forfeit of large amounts of money. If the going broke part wasn't enough, the whole idea of being "one of the guys" makes me depressed, which then gets enhanced by the alcohol. So I will be drinking "rum" and coke's and acting as though I'm having a good "drunk" time instead of being all depressed.

As awful as it may seem, sometimes I wish that everyday was Thursday so I could go to work, which I have been enjoying lately, then come home to my wife and not have to be around anyone else.

That's an easy fix...go there with the money, but dressed up as yourself.

"Hey, you want my money or not?"   ;)

With any luck, they'll be so dumbfounded that they won't be able to gather up your money, and instead disburse theirs to your pile...win-win I say!

Tried to finish putting on window tint on my car...did all the side windows ok, but the rear window, with its compound curves, is confounding this curvy wench.

I was using the full-sheet method, but I may just have to do it old-school, using 6" strips of tint across the window, with minor (</= 1/8") overlap...

Frustrating. Used a heat gun to shrink the material, but I do not have the skill to actually wield this gun in tint--window combat, mano-a-windowo...

Put together my first layered outfit today! 'Twas a heather top and a black wrap-around thing with a strap. I tied a bow in the strap off to one side and put it around my waist - the effect being that I demonstrated the presence of said waist without also demonstrating the presence of my muffin-top.

Haha thanks Beth. I survived, but that would have been a good one since I'm not out and most of the guys there I know through my wife. But, I probably could have made a few bucks by making it a better game as to whether I would do it.

Yay! Finished tinting my car's windows, and only have a couple small distortions (bubbles) near the bottom edge of the rear window...that was a B!tch to do, even using the "strip" method...

Got a cage for my car also...However that is on a low priority to install...couldn't pass it up, low price and saved it from the dump.

Just finished dinner, nothing fancy just a baked tater, a piece of summer sausage and two beers.

Happy thoughts are being extruded from my ears as the evening goes on...

On May Day my daughter and I were on a train crossing the river, and I said oh look the sun on the water is pretty, and she replied with "Oh the sun on the helicopters is pretty." Lol there were four visible just looking out the window, and once we were on foot there were more cops than protesters. Leah is uncouth to put it mildly, and she started speculating loudly about why are cops so mean and are they just bored and why do people throw rocks at them and is that okay and why doesn't everybody just be nice and wow look guns etc until we had an officer following us. XD

I didn't even try to explain. I'm pretty sure we looked more like absentminded dorks than malcontents. :laugh:

Age-based gatekeeping ruins lives and is as bad as any other kind. Leah is in a social and academic limbo because she's physically a teenager but mentally/emotionally a smaller child, and I don't qualify for a lot of needed help because people in my age range are expected to be financially stable. If I were young or old we'd have access to so many programs. As it is I have a leg full of screws and a body full of old injuries and I rarely even get a seat on the bus. I'm so tired.

I would homeschool my kid if it weren't for the fact that my roommate would be furious if she were here 24/7. If I had a job that provided insurance it would be illegal for them not to cover trans care, and if I were a minor it would be illegal for Medicaid to not provide my trans care, but because I am both poor and old I'm apparently worthless and expected to stay out of sight. There don't seem to be a lot of specific rules for people between 24 and 65 in my state.

Because she has more violent tendencies than autistic deficits, my daughter is denied services that other kids like her are able to get, and so she has basically a 4th grade education and every time she gets screamy in public I have to worry about her ending up in juvy jail.

I love my daughter so much but if I didn't have her I could go work day labor or something and pay for my own surgery. I feel like she's being punished for behaviors and handicaps she can't control and I'm being punished for taking care of her.

We all mature and hit milestones and accomplish things at different rates, and gating things by age (rather than ability/need/merit/whatever) is arbitrary and cruel.

Ah I didn't realize I was going to spew all that. Thanks for the space to rant. :)
