Strange connections

FWIW, I hate XPlay in its current incarnation. But I guess I'm not the primary target audience.

So...Morguhn loved hotdogs. I love hotdogs (my big guilty pleasure--fat, nitrites, the more goop on them the better [this from the woman who hates more than 2 things on a pizza], but I digress). So this summer I put up a bunch of hotdogs in two dog packs for The Boy. That was August. He didn't get through many of the packs. My hotdogs (the fat free type) are hidden under "whatever" and after the supremely shitty afternoon I had, I had no patience for cooking, vegetables (other than a handful of grape tomatos), or anything else that required thought, including looking for my hotdogs, especially since Duchezz is out at a dinner for work. So, I took out one of his packages of hotdogs, thawed out 2 one point hotdog rolls, and got out a frying pan. Half an hour later, they were done (see why I wasn't capable of cooking), I took out a Saranac Brown Ale, and, well, that was dinner.

Point the first: I can no longer eat two full fat hotdogs for dinner without pain.
Point the second: After the shitty afternoon I had, eating food I'd put up for him, with a beer, on a mostly empty stomach, may be one of the stupidest things I've done in the last, oh, gee, exactly two months since he fell off the fucking roof.

In addition, because I'm not feeling crappy enough otherwise, the genuine physical ordeal of the shitty afternoon seems to have turned my hovering cold into a full force mucus fest, I have to sing tomorrow, and we're in a winter storm advisory and Duchezz and I can't travel together because of other obligations. I am tired, grumpy, hurting physically and emotionally, sick, and, well, just generally inclined to crawl into bed, pull the covers up over my head, and come out sometime next July. No, scratch that--that's the Irish Festival and that's another emotional hurdle that's gonna kick me in the teeth. June. Maybe June. Nope, that's the month he asked me to sleep with him for the first time....Shit. Yeah. Maybe just pull the covers over my head and not come out.
Oh. Right. Promised.

As one of my most treasured friends told me to tell myself--"Not today."

Not today.

Oh dear. I wish I was close enough to make you a lovely hot toddy, run a bubble bath and read something non-melancholy to you while you relaxed.

Thinking of you. Both you and the Duchezz.

Ghakk ya thats a bunch of suck in one day.

It took me 7 weeks to toss Wulfs gal of milk (and I cried when I did thinking if I knew I wouldnt have tried to get him to drink skim rather than full fat)

I took to turning on the electric blanket and just hiding in the semi dark its not that it helped but it seemed that at least nothing was going to upset the ballence and shatter me.

Its the AA thing one day at a time, but sometimes its just one hour at a time I can see the next hour and perhaps I can reach that.

You're mad. Might be time to take it out on something. :)

I'm not such a big fan of XPlay since the format changes either. I was rather enamored of the time when they, you know, mostly reviewed games and moved on to the next.

For what its worth, I now only eat one hot dog at a sitting, at least, I do if it is a sizeable one with a fair amount of stuff on it.

always here. You have only to call and tell me to move my arse your direction.

You're allowed to do stupid things. It won't feel particularly good, but it doesn't mean you're a stupid person. It just means you're vulnerable, and therefore especially human. Life kicked you again today. Next time, kick it back harder.

I wish I could offer you something more than my sympathy and long distance hugs.

you are allowed to do stupid things and hope this cold/sinus thing clears up fairly quickly would offer remedy options but i think you may have been the one who told me many of them so kinda cyclonic

It might take some more 'stupid' days to find ways to actually deal with everything...we're here for you. :-)
