What're You Doing Right Now?

[RiaBrown]

Relaxing, resting up for work this week, and talking to both kids at the same time via Messenger. I was telling Schmoo I had mellowed out over the last five years or so, and I thought coming out had a LOT to do with that. I had embraced my true self, and gave zero effs if anyone else didn't like it, family included. [*koff* Like my homophobic sister. *hack*]

Anyway HE says, "When you change from a negative space you can create more [positive]. Your vibrations rose, you are more positive now." I've definitely felt like a huge weight has been lifted, and FEEL more positive than I ever used to be.

Between talking to the kids, also been making wedding plans with Wifey to Be, yesterday was a clustereff of ideas swirling around and my indecisive self couldn't narrow it down to just ONE option. So we decided to take a week, and explore options, and begin to narrow down exactly what we want this wedding to look like.

[cindyt]

Administrating.

[RiaBrown]

Watching TikTok, piddlefarting online, looking at options for a big gay wedding. Wifey to Be and I have decided that we should be able to wear our outfits again. For her it's easy, she's wearing a suit with a bow tie and top hat. For me it's a little different, since I have decided to wear a dress.

[RiaBrown]

Relaxing. I've had a hell of a day....not really a rant for the vent thread, but still.

Started off moving slow this morning, so slow I missed my bus. Not a biggie, I Ubered in and got there an hour early. Went to Panera to get my coffee and the breakfast I hadn't had time to make at home this morning. Get there and see this sign on the door: "Due to water main break we are on a boil order and have NO fountain drinks. This includes coffee."

I groaned but went on in and ordered the food portion of my breakfast, then went to Sonic to try to get coffee. I saw someone power washing the parking lot, so I assumed they had water. Nope. They were also affected, and had no drinks at all. I went across the street to the gas station and got a Starbucks energy drink because I think they have more caffeine than the bottled coffee drinks. I deduced that we would also be affected by the water main break, so I also got a big bottle of Diet Coke and took them to work.

Apparently the new restaurant on the other side of Sonic had had a water main break LAST NIGHT. Which meant all the stores in the little strip mall were affected: themselves, Sonic, us, Little Caesars Pizza, and Panera. *facepalm*

Now I didn't think we'd be overly busy today since they were repaving the parking lot. I had assumed the no water was due to that, I'd had no idea about the water main breaking because it had happened after I'd left last night. But nope. We were slammed until about 3pm.

At 11am, we got a HUGE order via UberEats: 20 double cheeseburgers, 12 fries, and 8 cheese curds. Whole order totaled $281 and some change. It was the biggest order I had EVER seen at ANY of the restaurants I've worked at. The only one that came even close was an order at McDonald's for $150 in drive through.

So yeah. I'm tired. And ordered DoorDash for dinner. Now I'm relaxing, texting my love, and piddlefarting online.

[cindyt]

Waiting for my Walmart order to arrive.

[cindyt]

Fixing to eat and then binge watch ER.

[RiaBrown]

Relaxing, watching TikToks, and chatting with an Aussie friend via Discord.

["What Tha....?"]

Did not realize, until today, that this past July 30th, marked my 14th anniversary joining FAD. This board has been amazing. Not too many "old timers" like me, still post here anymore, but here's to all that do!

[pkstracy]

about to smack hubby upside the head, see pet peeves for why, laying in my room with a fan on as it's so hot in here, and trying to figure out what i want to eat.

[cindyt]

Just finished my devotions and updating my AW report.

[cindyt]

Taking a break from writing and adding a coat of paint on a picture frame every hour--never mind the poster won't arrive until the end of the month.

[Shellie]

Watching a documentary about Deaths in Hollywood on tubi while doing puzzles.

[cindyt]

Messing around, thinking about updating my links website so it won't eat into my writing time later today.

[pkstracy]

I apparently clicked on the wrong thread.

I'm fixing to go back to bed.

[Mansfield67]

Nice sunny and crisp day, I will take a walk to the store for milk.

[cindyt]

Vegetating.

[RiaBrown]

Watching Mean Girls and making up with Wifey-to-be. What had happened was a huge misunderstanding. She's got roommates where she is. One of them is in her early- to mid-twenties and sees Wifey-to-be as a mother figure. She was jealous of me, because I'm taking Wifey-to-be away from her. So she got into Wifey-to-be's phone, sent me that horrible message, and blocked me on FB and my number.

Wifey-to-be and I went 2 weeks without speaking. I was miserable. She reached out via TikTok. I had purposely left that line of communication open because I figured it had been a BPD episode. She reached out and asked why I was mad at her, which I wasn't. I never was mad at her, I thought she was mad at me even though I had done nothing.

But we're back together, the wedding is back on, and we're more in love than ever. She was in the hospital from Wednesday to Saturday with a kidney stone infection. I went to her Thursday and Friday after work and took dinner both nights. We talked more, and she apologized again profusely for what had happened.

Are you sure that roommate wasn't ten years old? Gah.

I spent most of my day updating my novel-writing research attic, ate dinner, and went to bed. Now Imma up and fixin to grab a bit o writin.

[pkstracy]

Happy it worked out Ria, in bed with a head and chest cold ugh

[RiaBrown]

Are you sure that roommate wasn't ten years old? Gah.

The place wifey-to-be is in right now is for disabled people, physically or mentally. This is the same roommate who likes to stir the pot, and start stuff with wifey-to-be to get her to react negatively in hopes of getting her kicked out. She's a strange one. Little does she know wifey-to-be has much more freedom and is able to spend weekends with me in a motel where she sleeps, because another roommate screams 24/7. And we're looking for our own place. Yes, wifey-to-be can live with me so long as she has someone with her while I'm at work. And she's already hand-picked her aides.

Happy it worked out Ria, in bed with a head and chest cold ugh

Me too, on both. Being sick sucks.

[cindyt]

Writing.

[cindyt]

Waiting for my last load of clothes to dry. Fixing to hunt down a backout valiance. Gearing up to write. Did I mention there's a goth vampire suspect in A DEADLY SPILL OF SCARLET? The vampire bit was inspired by a self-described "real" vampire Brandon Lee fan who posted on my guestbook many years ago. She left her site URL. I had a look-see. Man, oh, man. My vampire is male though for a subplot sake.

[Mansfield67]

Taking advantage of the ridiculous warm weather for this time of year 70 plus and sitting on my balcony with my Kobo and getting a few chapters in.

[cindyt]

Doing my usual morning thingies. May go back to bed, may write.

[RiaBrown]

Hacking up a lung, putting it back, watching Grey's Anatomy on Hulu.

[cindyt]

Finished evening devotions, messing around the net, fixing to continue writing/revising the crime novel.

[pkstracy]

Ria feel better, Me I am going stir crazy...9 more days of isolation, fever broke two days ago so no longer contagious, stuffy nose almost cleared up now if the dang cough would go away and my energy come back then i can feel more human, the isolation is what is getting to me.

[SassyMonkey719]

Painting. I moved some stuff around in my office and now I have a spot to put another painting ❤️

[SomeChick]

Glad you're painting again, and it's nice that you're back.

I'm making dinner, and listening to fun music.

[cindyt]

I'm fixing to mess around MSN and game after finishing my writing session and making my AW report.

[Mansfield67]

Searching Kobo for new mysteries to read.

[RiaBrown]

Relaxing, got a house floof on my lap, being reminded by my roommate that I haven't eaten much this weekend.

[cindyt]

Fixing to make me a salad for lunch, then game, and then write.

[pkstracy]
