Hangs head in shame....back again***Diary of Kaplooie***

Hope everyone had a great 4th of July in the US and a great Saturday everywhere else. I spent a bit of the afternoon at a beer garden with some girlfriends while the kiddo jumped in a bouncy house and played water games. Then went home and made a few chicken hot dog things that where okay. Spent the night alone as the kid ran off to watch fireworks with friends.

Today is cleaning day. And I have to put together a desk. And maybe grocery shop. I'm pretty unmotivated though.
 
I put a large beef roast in the crock pot last night and today it is smelling divine. Can't wait to get home and eat it. I got it on sale, whoop! Nothing excites me more then a 30% off hunk of beef. Lol!

I'm freezing today/yesterday. Its been raining (pissing rain as my dad would say), and windy and cold here. You wouldn't guess it was summer. Hopefully I'll work up a sweat and warm up when I start working on painting this apartment that is taking forever to paint. I have to scrub the kitchen walls and do two coats today. The former residents were disgusting pigs. I'll have to steam the carpets as well. The ceiling needs two coats as well...thats going to be fun. Up a ladder, down a ladder all day long. At least I will get a good work out.

219 again on the scale, I guess the blip up was just that, a blip. I feel less bloated to so water weight must have flushed off me. I was eating pretty badly last week, I'm setting goals for carb intake this week, and really going to concentrate on staying below them. Plus, calories...
 
Fun? Oy. I got everything all trimmed out yesterday so today I just have to roll it out. It's a bigger pain in the arse then I thought it would be. So many nooks...too many crannies...and I'm not a huge fan of painting things white...lol, this would be so much funner to see a bright cheerful color going on.

Finally finally finally got my computer in yesterday. Spent a lot of time getting it all set up last night and then the kiddo took over and played games till Gawd knows when. He was up early again in the morning to get on and play some more. We ate the slow cooked beef roast last night, I had mine with some horseradish cheddar cheese and sauted peppers and onions and the kiddo had his on a roll with cheese. It was so good. I need to make beef more often. And so much leftovers we can eat for a few days off of it.

I am supposed to go out to dinner tonight with family. But I really don't want to after the whole 4th thing. I'd rather just write them off for a few months and just live my life, I have a lot to be getting on with trying to be single again. I hate it when they do this, treat me like shit one day and then a few days later act like nothing happened. And then when I don't want to have anything to do with them I"M THE BAD GUY. They drive me fucking nuts. I need to just move away from them. Like really far away.
 
KP- If you don't want to go, don't. Just say you want to get on with your painting or something. Seeing less of them sounds like a good idea, but moving faaaaar away? Can't you get them around to being better with you(& you with them)? Your life sounds so full-on. Look after yourself KP xo Cate
 
I have contracted a summer cold. Stuffy nose, sneezing, and generally feeling tired. The only bonus to this is now I have an excuse to drink lots of tea and go to bed ridiculously early.
 
I know! It's so not fair! I was feeling fine this afternoon though, and then we decided to load and haul a bunch of scrap metal to the landfill and after the second load I realized I had overdone it and my little world just came crashing down on me, I barely finished the haul of scrap wood to my own house for the kiddos fort project and I was D.O.N.E. At least my throat is no longer sore, but my head is killing me. Nothing a little Egyptian licorice tea with a nip of whiskey can't cure though.
I'm going to bed with a dvd set of Gilmore Girls and a snuggly 70 lbs puppy. :sleeping:
 
Cold is subsiding, or was yesterday. I'm feeling it today but less snotty.The boss lady is in town, she's out riding around with the soon to be former manager, the distasteful lady I am taking over for, and letting her purge her brain on all the projects she may have forgot to mention to everybody else (there are a lot of them...). I had a long work day yesterday with her, and then a late night out dining and drinking with her and the handyman that works with us. Maybe I'll be able to accomplish something today, maybe not but right now I feel okay. I'm home, went to the office for a bit this AM and came home to make coffee and clean up a bit. The garbage needs to go to the landfill today (we don't have garbage service locally, we have to do it ourselves), and then I'm going on a date tonight so I have to get cleaned up nice. We'll see how this goes.
I have very specific boyfriend criteria:
1)Must fish, lol.
2)Must never refer to me as "baby" or any other diminutive term of endearment.
3)Job, car, does not live with mom.
4)Tall, dark and handsome (this guy is all that).
5) Funny, or at least has a good sense of humor.
6) Is something I won't know until at least the third date, but he better be proficient at it ;)

The guy I'm going out with tonight has been asking me out for years. Just that every time he does he's got bad timing because I'll be just into dating someone or in a relationship. Ran into him last night and he finally had his moment of glory getting a yes to the "will you go out on a date with me NOW?" question. We both just broke up with people so it might not be the BEST time to start dating but really...when timing is shitty for years and we finally sync...
 
Sunday funday, right? Nope. Sunday, go to work, go shopping and clean the house day. At least I got treated to a crab omelette when I was at work by our Handyman that lives on-site in the employee apartment. We had a really good week at work, even with the boss lady being here. I managed to secure leases on two apartments and it looks like I'll also be securing leases on a studio and some office space next week. I get a commission for all this so I'm pretty damn stoked. AND AND AND, the bitch is GONE! Her last day was yesterday!! George (the handyman) and I are so relieved. All the toxic drama has left the atmosphere.

Date night was, WOW. J came and picked me up at my house (with a freaking flower in hand for me...swoon...a blue flag iris, my favorite). Went for cocktails and apps at the only nice pub in town and then went to a bonfire. First date I've ever been on where I was like, "Can we stop by my place and get the dog?" I had a good time. We are going to go out again in a few days if he is not busy with work. He works weird hours, he's a longshoreman. Basically on call all the time. He dropped me off last night and then, within about 30 minutes texted me. This morning I woke up to a "good morning beautiful" text also. He's either an excellent player or there was a spark. *sparksflyingeverywhereforme* .

I really didn't get much of a weekend this week, and tomorrow is already Monday. Two busy weekends in a row means my house is a disaster so I'm devoting this afternoon and evening to getting this shit in order. I've already got three loads of laundry down and the kiddo is cleaning his room and the bathroom. *deep breath* the employed life....

lol!
 
Cate: It was! Oh how I wish I were the same Mystic. Sadly, its been bad luck in the search for lasting love department for me. And while I wish I were the kind of girl to be comfortable single, I'm really not. I want to share my life with someone.

Speaking of, got date #2 with J tonight! That was fast. Lol! We are going out for sushi. And then we'll probably have to go on a rescue mission because the boy child decided to go hiking with 4 girls on an intermediate trail (they have an adult with them). If we don't go on a rescue mission we are going to rent a movie and watch it at my place. I'm at home right now making my living room all cozy on my lunch break (and procrastinating on the internet). I have to go back to work this afternoon only to repair a window that needs an L-bracket to reinforce the frame. I worked so much this weekend that I'm really not in the mood to spend too much time there. Beauty of making my own hours.
 
I don't know whether to be sad for you or congratulate you on avoiding hurt and drama...maybe a bit of both?

Had a really fun time last night. Sushi was so good, we watched a really funny movie and did not have to rescue the boy child, he made it home in one piece and on time.

I tried to go to the gym this morning, but I got called to work after I warmed up and before I could even finish my first set of squats. Then I lost motivation to go back to the gym after I was done with the task at work so I just went home and changed into my work clothes and came to the office. MEH. I can tell already that my day is not going to go as planned, lol. The plan was, gym, work, lunch at home because I made a huge salad, and then after work going fishing with the kiddo and J. I hope the weather holds for fishing. Nothing more miserable then sitting in the rain pretending to enjoy yourself while not catching anything.
