ILM: Workouts, Ruminations and Perv Lounge (Come One, Come All)

As I said before...

If ever you need an objective (mostly - I'll side with you in most things:D) ear to hear you out, and offer support or just generally listen whilst you ramble, vent, let off steam, (insert expression of your choice here), you know where to find me.
 
Val, thanks so much for your words of wisdom. It was very much appreciated :)

Karl, thanks for being there for me.

I know it's a very unusual scenario and a little on the difficult side to even begin to project what it's like or how to address it ...

At the end of the day, I have to believe that this is just a label. Matt hasn't changed ... his label has changed. The dynamics haven't changed. He's still the same, and I'm still the same.

And apparently our intimate life is the same. I don't really know quite how that works for him, but it works for me :p


Well, I couldn't go to my massage therapist tonight because my leg was so bruised from him working on it on Saturday ... it still hurts and it's purple :D

I've booked another massage on Saturday. If my left leg is still all bruised, I told James that he is more than welcome to do the same thing to my right leg ;) He just laughed ... :)

So I just went to physio tonight and pumped a little iron -- and it was feeling good. I can see the finish line with this biceps tendon tear!!!! I just have to rein myself in so I don't do anything stupid.

MUST NOT DO ANYTHING STUPID.

And you said I'm complex. Clearly this is a 'takes one to know one' moment? I say this light-heartedly, as you can imagine.

I'm not sure how Matt can be titled outside of bisexuality but the moniker really is irrelevant as long all concerned parties are having fun. I just find it odd that he would lay claim to a labeled preference in the middle of the game. It has the feel that his declaration is a prelude to consequences later. I hope I'm dead wrong. I'm only working off your writings, here.

You know, words like 'tearing' and 'purple' did cause some pause here. I know pushing ones' self is part of your gig but really Maureen, please allow yourself proper healing time.
 
I'm an EIGHT http://weight-loss.fitness.com/weight-loss-diary/4054-trucker-fights-back-443.html#post560035

Matt is:

If your Life-Path number is NINE, yours is a philosophical number. In this, you’re likely to hold an elevated position that poses certain responsibilities in the scheme of things. You’re likely to be extremely compassionate and giving up material goods for the common good of all may be something that is a regular occurrence in your life.

NINE personalities tend to be trustworthy and honorable. A NINE harbors no prejudice and feels deeply for those who are less fortunate. You will help out others in any way you possibly can as a NINE as you are driven by the desire to make things better.

With such intensity of emotion, it is common for NINES to find expressive outlets through artistic and literary fields. Engaging in these activities lend strength and balance to the NINE’S emotional well being. Further, social activities are also extremely important. NINES tend to be well liked and have many friends. Taking time out for laughter is essential for those that throw themselves into the realm of misfortune in a helping capacity. Key words/qualities associated with a NINE Life-Path are humanitarian, giving nature, selflessness, obligations and creative expression.

The life purpose for a NINE is to learn compassion, generosity and a humanitarian attitude. This isn’t always easy as it can require sacrifice and putting others first. Many NINES struggle with the responsibility that comes with this Life-Path, as there can be difficulty in believing that giving can be satisfying on a grand scale.

It is not uncommon for a NINE to find themselves being used or let down by others. Their tremendous generosity can be misused and abused often. A tempering of knowledge and common sense with heart-felt desire to support may help prevent some of this from occurring. Creative expression can alleviate pain felt from such times.

As difficult as it will be at times for the NINE, fulfillment in life cannot possibly occur without acceptance of a true and humanitarian nature within. Developing and maintaining personal support systems is essential.

And Travis is:

Your Life-Path number is probably the most influential numerological aspect to be considered. This number is determined by your birth date and represents who you are at this time. It indicates specific traits that are present and will likely be active and influential throughout your lifetime. It is the overall number that determines much of what will be important to you and how you will handle things as they come.

If your Life-Path number is SIX, a sense of responsibility will likely be prominent for you. SIXES are considered to be the most domestic of numbers and live a path related to leadership through example. This assumption of responsibility generally means that as a SIX, you’re always there to help others in any way you can. In fact, you must need to feel useful in order to be truly happy.

Those with a SIX Life-Path are usually very versatile and can communicate across any generation gap. SIXES are idealistic and usually recognize that wisdom, understanding and balance are the cornerstones to assume responsibility in the best possible way.

It is common for SIXES to be devoted to their families and homes. This is usually the first priority for a SIX with helping the community coming a close second. Key qualities/words for a SIX Life-Path are responsibility, protection, nurturing, community, balance, sympathy and family.

It can also be common for a SIX personality to assume far more responsibility than what’s necessary. At times this can leave you drained and exhausted. Other areas that may require development for a SIX are a tendency towards exaggeration, over expansion or self-righteousness. While you will almost always mean well as a SIX, behaviors such as meddling or interfering (especially in family matters) will likely lead to troubles.

The life purpose for a SIX is to embrace the ability to assume responsibility in balance and to provide advice, service and support to those around you and in the greater community. To deny oneself this experience as a SIX will almost inevitably lead to feelings of unsatisfaction. As relationships tend to spring from the SIXES actions, loneliness and isolation can also occur if this path is denied.

It can be challenging for some SIXES to take on the responsibility for what’s around them in a healthy balance. Careful planning and consideration for the self as well as others will alleviate feelings of overwhelm or guilt. Be careful not to be too critical or hard on yourself if you can’t do it all. Your path is one of assuming only what you are able.

Yeah, that was the pot calling the kettle black, wasn't it? :D

"Tearing" and "purple" ... no problem, Randy. My leg went purple from the ART. No big deal. I bruise easily. Tearing really means microtears in the fascia. A rupture is far worse ;)

Thanks for your concern. You're a sweetheart ;)
 
Did you know ?

Oh yeah.

I could eat the exact same thing every day, expend the exact same amount of energy, and my insulin requirements would be different every day.

For me, figuring out how much insulin I need has always been a crap shoot :D

The bottom line is insulin-dependent diabetics are NEVER in a euglycemic state. We are either hyperglycemic or hypoglycemic because we don't have a functioning pancreas that works in real time. So we're either trying to prevent high blood glucose or push up low blood glucose. Hence the reason we check our blood glucose. Exercise is also interesting because depending on the day and what you're doing in the gym, there is always the chance you will go hypo or hyperglycemic after a workout.

It's a bitch, but it's better than being dead :)

Hey there Maureen :)

Sorry I couldn't respond sooner... I hadn't checked thru diaries that much lately.

So, Matt is gay. I don't think it should change things. I'm not an expert but maybe he is attracted more to you as a person and not you as a gender, if that makes sense, and it's not a bad thing at all... If your dominant and he likes that and is comfortable with you, then I think that's what it is. I, myself, have never had full on sex with a woman... But, I haven't ruled it out as something I will never do tho. I've had times where I think it could happen with a certain person given optimal circumstances I suppose. I wouldn't worry about it too much. As you probably know there is a spectrum of human sexuality, and sometimes people are just attracted to certain people and don't know why or it can't be explained due to the labels that are put upon us....(everyone). If it hasn't changed anything and everyone's still having a grand ole' time :sifone:, then no harm done right? I'm no expert and all of the above could sound like an ill thought out load of bs...

Your completely right about the insulin dependent diabetics. I am not one but kinda know how it works. If you want to live with diabetes then you have to understand your body and be on top of your shit, all of the time... A very prominent, wealthy man in UT (owner of the UT Jazz and many many businesses in SLC) just had both his feet amputated 6'' below the knee due to complications with his diabetes. I don't think he was one who took care of himself very well... It just goes to show you that this disease doesn't discriminate and you can be worth hundreds of millions of dollars but if you don't take care of yourself and the basics then the disease doesn't care and it'll take what it wants.

Love ya Maureen :)

I'm VERY glad to hear that!!!!!!! :hurray: I always have to convince Chris that--but he's in REAL bad pain today. He's going to the neurologist tomorrow--says normally he feels like his entire body has been beat with a baseball bat; today it feels like it's been beat with a MASE :(

UGH!

Hope you had a good day, sorry to be a downer!

I think things are OK. For some reason, Matt is still attracted to me sexually, and if that works for him, then that's good. We kinda switch between who is Dominant and who isn't, but our dynamics are good right now.

I just love him for finally telling me. He's kept it hidden for so very long ... and even when he told me he was bisexual, he said I was the first woman he'd ever been with that hadn't told him to F off.

Oh yeah. If you don't get a handle on this disease, it will get the better of you, that's for sure. It's a killer.

And I luv ya more than you will ever know. Thanks so much for giving me your perspective. It means a lot, Sam.

Poor Chris. I can't imagine what he's going through. I'm sure the doctors are equally as baffled. What is his prognosis, Val? Neuropathy happens with hyperglycemia. The excess sugar destroys the nerve endings. His body would feel like it was on fire.

Please give him my best, Val. Sending lots of lovin' vibes your way XX
 
Neuropathy happens.

oh my, does it ever! This was my very, very worst part of my diabetes. I feel for Chris. I can so relate. I was on pain pills for 6 months until my doctor yanked them out from under me.

It was chronic for me. The pain was excruciating. A burning so severe, you could literally feel the temperature difference on my shins. I count my lucky stars what weight loss did to end my episode with that torturous infliction *does a hail mary cross*

His problems are a laundry list.

Thanks for the love! We're going climbing today (well, I'm climbing, he's barking orders. I swear he has a little bit of Dom in him--it's great and I really respond to it, haha!)

Sam is such a smart cookie :D

Hope you're having a great day! :hug2: Love!
 
Hey Maureen,

Just stopping by and making my rounds :) I did pretty well on my test today, so I'm in a great mood. Hope your day at work is crazy-good and not crazy-bad :coolgleamA:

Take Care,
Sam
