The "How Are You Doing" Thread (redux)

Wait ...Yesterday should have been the last day you should have been over doing it. Breakfast in bed ...spa day including manny/peddy...etc, etc.

Get anything really cool for Mothers Day to make the other mothers jealous???

I'd actually like one, but I was actually referring to sex life with husband:p. Poly sex life is still a long way off if ever. He's still got a lot of "traditional" obsticals in place that I need to break through first. Any steps forward within the next 3 years are just a bonus.
 
On a non-poly related note, I had a rough day yesterday and I'm still processing it today. One of my male clients asked me to entertain the idea of having an affair with him after our work has concluded. . . .mind you, he is married to my female client; asked me w/in earshot of his 2 year old, and this was our first meeting one on one to discuss me helping him find employment. I have been racking my brain to figure out how the conversation we were having surrounding family, his past jobs, and his child support issues could have in anyway suggested that I was up for something like that.

I'm sure you didn't do anything to invite that kind of advance. Some guys are just dogs. Last night I met someone for the first time in a casual social setting, where the conversation had turned to the economy. We were all talking about money, jobs, the bank industry, etc. -- nothing sexy about that! I happened to mention that I'm short on cash these days. This guy took me aside to tell me he would pay me if I fucked him in the ass with a strap-on. Someone I'd never met before! In the middle of talking about economics, sheesh. I can only surmise that he asks that of any woman he meets just in case he finds someone who'll consider it. Casting a wide net, y'know? So, don't think it was you.

As to how I'm doing... eh, okay.

I'm going to have to defy my doctor and go back to work early, just to keep myself from being tempted to over do it. I'm feeling better, so now my whole house is starting to really bug me:eek:.

I really need help learning how to sex text. Found out this weekend that husband and i are both pretty pathetic at it.:rolleyes:.
 
Been reading old threads here all morning. Makes me appreciate my boys all the more (especially after having just posted the rocky parts of our beginning in my blog here). Every so often I've had to crawl into my "middle" place in the bed (they were both still sleeping until an hour or so ago) just to soak them up. MrS mentioned that Dude had said that he had to get up by a certain time - I decided to "wake him the best possible way" [Heinlein reference] as he really enjoys "morning sex" and I am rarely home (or in the mood) for it.

So comfortable right now. So happy in a warm fuzzy way. So glad to have these two men in my life.

Just floatin' on that's about all I can do.
 
Overall I'm not doing too bad I guess. Things have been chugging along pretty nicely. I'm mildly surprised at how little the break up with LoveLeigh has hurt. Not that I didn't care about her, just in that we tried it, it failed, move on as friends.

I need to rein myself in today. We're going to a friend's house for a communal Dag build day. I'm having trouble finding a few things in my workshop. I swear BrigidsDaughter and Wendigo extrude an entropic field around them that makes things much messier then they should be. Maybe it's just conflicting work styles that's driving me up the wall. I'm neat and organized, they are..not. It's the one remaining bit of tension between the three of us. They go down there, work, and tear the place up and I always end up having to clean the disaster up before I can do any work. I've tried talking to them, it does no good. No relationship is perfect though, right?

On another note, this full time job I've got? Kicks ass. It's so nice to be able to work full time and get paid decently well for it. Plus the work is pretty easy and I can listen to an mp3 player as I work.

LOL! This is why I now have my own work bench and am slowly acquiring my own tools. Husband and I DEFINITELY have different work styles and he is way messier than I am and I'm not exactly neat (even though I like things neat and organized), more lazy. Maybe there's a compromise you three can work out. With myself, it helps to have pictures posted of how things are "supposed" to look, kind of a reminder to put things away.

Great news about the new job.

We discussed this in the car today. It's not that we don't try and we do clean up, but that doesn't help when they are both working down in the shop at the same time b/c Wendigo and I cannot work in a clean, sterile environment. We know where everything we are working with is in the chaos and as soon as something is put away, we can't find it. Where as, Runic Wolf needs everything in it's place to function. We're making a conscious effort to give him what he needs, but it isn't always enough.
 
Mostly awful..

I've been battling this nasty chest cold/cough for over a week now, the kind that makes you almost wish you were dead. The mates had it earlier, even the kids went through it and survived.

But I have asthma and it's doing a real number on my lungs. I hate having to sleep in the recliner because any attempt at laying down causes me to have coughing fits so bad I want to be sick. I'm SO tired...I just want to sleep like a normal person. I can never take the ability to breathe for granted...because I know just how awful it feels when your lungs are drowning in mucus. Arrrggghhh!

As for the positive, all my relationships seem to be doing well at the moment, feeling blessed and very lucky :)
 
stresssssss

I am so stressed financially, it's just crazy. Have to do my surfing at Starbuck's or wherever I can get free wi-fi, 'cause my cable's been suspended - and that means no tv, home phone, or internet til I make a payment. Cell phone's been disconnected, too. And I have til Wed. to pay my gas & electric or I will lose service. I owe them all 2 or three months worth, plus I am behind on my rent so will probably have to go to court this week.

My freelance clients all pay net 30, net 45, and some even net 90, and I will have money... eventually. It just so happens that I'm in a period without cash flow that I could not meet all my payment arrangements when they came due, and I couldn't get any more extensions. It seems that telling my providers I'll be able to pay them someday isn't concrete enough, LOL. Plus, no student loan til September, which is what I've mostly been living on. It sucks. I need a job, because my freelance work isn't enough to support me, and I've applied to a gazillion positions, but get very few responses. I have never walked around for this long with absolutely no money to my name. I don't really have any family to rely on. My divorce is still in limbo, so no settlement yet, plus I owe my lawyer a ton of money too, so every time I send an email or call, all I can think of is the time she will bill me for.

So, I'm trying to sell stuff on craigslist and eBay that will bring in a good chunk, like my furniture, but I can't count on that. I keep getting messages from scammers. I try not to get too depressed, but it ain't easy.

I know things will work out, but this week, I keep noticing homeless women about my age, and for the first time in my life I am terrified that it could be a reality for me. I grew up in poverty and overcame so much to leave home and make it on my own in NYC at age 23, so it's hard to believe I'm in this position. <heavy sigh>

Still alive, not quite kicking yet.

Getting over this horrible plague (chest cold turned bronchitis) I had...and already missing my adorable metalhead boyfriend who's away out of town for a few days with his mates...I'm hopeless :)
 
Cindie I feel so bad for you to be so broke!

My gf has not been able to find work for ages, mostly because her disability makes it impossible for her to work on the computer, the job she is trained for. She could deal when she was younger, but now that shes 34 the pain is quite bad. (She is trying to get SSI disability $, but is experiencing horrible sexual discrimination because of her transgender status, sigh...)

Anyway. She is considering escort work. She's done it in the past. There is no sex involved. Just dinner or lunch out with an older gentleman, whom she screens carefully. They just want to be seen with an attractive woman (you qualify!), and have a conversation.

miss pixi says she used to get $250 for having a free meal out, $450 if they wanted you to have a couple drinks with the meal... But again, its just a meal and conversation with a lonely guy, no touching at all.

Anyway, I know it can be shocking to think about being that desperate. Just thought I'd throw it out there.
 
Spent last evening with my sewing group talking poly. Add alcoholic strawberries, alcoholic beverages and other delectable deserts (of the sugar based variety) that elicit uncontrollable moans, it was a good night.

Jealous. Really jealous. I think it may be time for me to seek out an IRL poly group with whom to chat around the NYC area.

I somehow managed to eek by for about a year with not saying anything about our triad in front of my mono coworkers. Then I go and hire a very nice, very chipper woman to help with my work load and she just loves to talk with me about her girlfriend. I'm straight but not narrow but incredibly jealous that she feels comfortable enough around me to tell me these things and I still feel like I can't trust anyone with talking about my situation.

*sigh*

The funny thing is, I wasn't looking for a "poly group". I joined a re-enactment group, and there's a small sub-group that meets each week to sew, knit, weave, bs and drink. I found almost an instant bond with these people. It just turns out that a couple people in the group are currently actively poly and a few more who have been in poly relationships in the past.
 
Had a lovely week to celebrate my birthday. Camping, concert (I love me some Hugh Laurie and the band is AWESOME), going to a festival tomorrow, and lots of restaurants so I wouldn't have to cook.

It has been a lovely week.

This did nothing to soothe my jealousy. :p That sounds exactly like the sort of scenario I'm looking for since I'm not really into the militant, alternative lifestyle in your face crowd.
