Overwhelmed. Fighting a lingering chest cold. I just got roped into a short play because another woman dropped out mid-rehearsal, I'm struggling to catch up and learn lines/blocking. I'm playing a teenaged debutante (I'm a middle-aged hipster, but I'm petite and youthful and I hope can get away with it.)
Getting along great with hubby. I think I might've outed myself as poly to my mom. She asked if hubby and I were on good terms, and I replied (via email) "I love this married-but-not-living-together thing. No rings, no rules, we can date others. It's great!" I was met with blistering silence
Had a 2nd date with a woman I'm on the fence about. She's way more butch than my usual type, yet has never actually been with a woman. I appreciate an amazing strength in her. She raised her 5 siblings, she is now taking care of her sick mom, she had an injury on the job last year which left her incapacitated and she still has to deal with pain management. Yet she's a very positive person with a great laugh.
But she's also very stiff, physically because of the injury and, I think, and a bit "tough" emotionally. I dislike the idea of being her first woman, and I'm not sure I can reach through her nervousness. She doesn't drink, so can't even take the get drunk route. She is also very unambitious, she has nothing and doesn't care, yet she wants babies, and as she's already 32, that's going to need to happen sooner rather than later, which means at some point I'll be outta here--I don't co-parent. I feel like I'm a bit of an experiment.
