Hard at Work

Life is different now with the office getting busier, MT1 sharing space, and me making sure to finish work and not push it off to the weekend. I've gotten use to having a lot of freedom with the cost of low productivity. Now that productivity is up, I find I'm letting a lot of time wasting stuff slide. While it's important for me to blog everyday just to clear my head. I'm starting to slip on reading blogs. Everyday I open my reader to about 40 entries to read and not much time to read them. I'm slowly sifting through them all and what usually happens is I don't comment as much. Not that I comment a lot now.

My last 2 patients were very appreciative to walk out pain free today. Both are long standing patients who did something in the last day or two and were in severe pain. It was nice to hear how I changed their lives back to normal.

So today was my second time on the radio. I was a lot more relaxed since I was just there for a good time. I know the listener ship is low, but its always a fun time and the experience is good for me.

The other reason for me to be relaxed is I got to see Kitcat last night. She was very tired from not sleeping much the night before. Kitcat informed me that she wouldn't be up long when I got there, but I was welcome to come. I was there lickety split. It was great to see her after so long. We didn't do much, but cuddle and watch TV after I adjusted her. She really liked the earrings I got her.

I'm catching myself and changing my vocabulary when I'm talking to Kitcat now. While the "L" word hasn't come to my mind with her specific. It is coming to my mind when I'm saying how much I like something about her like her smile for example. I do have to admit I do that with my friends so I may have to make a bigger change.

I finally remembered what I wanted to blog about yesterday which was funny. As you may or may not know I'm partially color blind. So I was talking to one of the guys in my business group and he said the stripes on his shirt were pink. Now to me 10 feet away they looked pale blue. Only when he was very close could I tell that it was pink. The people that knew I was color blind said they forget since I dress well and never clash. My secret is I never were prints, it's always solids. I'm happy that everyone likes what I wear since initially when I buy something I worry how it will go together.

The Full, the Happy, and the Weird

I had something to blog about, but for the life of me I can't remember what it is. It's been an even Steven day here at the office. For every patient that has cancelled or rescheduled another has taken their place which is great. Also MT1 has had a few clients today so the office has been hopping. To be honest my first reaction is that I don't have enough time to get done what I want. Not a good reaction since I'm working hard to make the business busier. I'm really starting to lean towards getting a front desk counter for the office so I can have more space here. While it won't drastically increase the free space it will put more it out of the patients eye. The office is starting to be at the bursting point which is too weird for me. The change is too fast from famine to feast. I'm not feasting, but the cupboard is stocked.

I was very happy to hear that Kitcat most likely wouldn't have her son tomorrow night and that there was a very good chance to see each other. I can't tell you how happy that makes me feel.

The weird part of today was that the Photographer stopped by for treatment. I times I find it weird touching a woman I dated, but am not dating anymore. If we ever had sex I don't think this would be happening. However having slept together did increase the physical intimacy I had with her. She had some questions about Kitcat and was happy that I was happy.

Tonight is $1 movie Tuesday with the singles, however everyone has cancelled. The movie is Greenberg which I never ever heard of, but reviews were through the roof. While I would like to go home and relax I think I'll go and enjoy.

The Stuff of Dreams

Yesterday was a home run for me. I'm a people pleaser at heart so stating what I want is a bit problematic. I'm a lot better than I was 10 years ago, but it still isn't a walk in the park. I instructed MT1 about what I wanted done in the office cause I know this relationship could get ugly real fast if I didn't set up my rules. It all went over well and we'll see how it goes. I would love it if would stay on track forever, but that's just the delusion in my mind. Secondly I scheduled sometime with a chiropractic friend of mine to talk weekly on the phone to improve both our businesses and hold each accountable.

The last one I'm not quite sure if I'm making Kitcat uncomfortable. I asked her if I could see her last night. She was apologetic since and restated that this was a tough time school wise for her. I told her I knew that, but I don't like to leave things up for granted. I know this goes against what I was just stating. Hey I know the right thing to do, it's just getting myself over that hurdle. I told her it was important for me to see her. I understood she was busy and was okay with it, but I would still ask. Cause I don't want her to think that I'm casual about it.

Now on the other side of the coin. When I'm not dating anyone, sex really doesn't come up for me. Holy shit when I am the motor just runs overtime. It's been a week and a half since we last had sex. Jeez the dreams I'm having at night now. Oye. It's going to be a long 5 more days.

Sliding into Place

I've been trying to figure what earrings to give Kitcat. Should I get the fancy ones or ones that I know she could use on a day to day basis. Any suggestions?

MT1 moved everything in today and is 90% setup. It's going to be interesting having someone around the office again. I haven't worked with someone in years. The good thing is that she is very bubbly which I need a shot of. I think my demeanor is a bit of a problem with work. Since I wear many hats and a few shots of anxiety I can have hard time of hitting those high notes of excitement without conscious thought. I had a few new patients today which was great. The guy I was able to come in higher than him, but the woman was a lot higher than me. Like everything its something to work on.

I'm trying to setup weekly time to talk to my friends who are also chiropractors to exchange different thoughts and ideas. I've done it with two of them this week and its been good for both parties. Activity seems to follow it. Now just to get it organized.

I'm hoping to see Kitcat tonight. We got to talk a little before. I'll text her when I leave the office to see. I know starting tomorrow she'll have her son through Sunday so it'll be hard to see her.

Speaking of Kitcat. I was in one of my business meetings and my text alert when off. MK lady asked who it was and I said my gf. She asked if it was Asp and I said no it was someone else. She gave me that face I see in a lot of my female friends. I think its somewhere between impressed and you're kidding me. That's what I think and I'm sticking to that. The meeting started then and I wasn't able to update her on my dating life. Since she met Asp and we didn't break up for 2 more months the MK lady curse was broken. For the last several years if I told her about who I was dating we broke up in the next 2 days. It was freaky.

Is it Hot in Here or Is it Me?

It was in the 90's and humid. While there was a nice breeze to be out in the park at Earth day. Working in a storage unit was sheer torture and I passed out nicely last night from heat exhaustion. I did put the dresser in storage since it helped with packing more stuff in it since it organized the items around it. Today I finished moving everything out of the room. The file cabinet is in the hallway to be dumped somewhere and MT1 signed the contract so the place is hers. She'll start moving her stuff in tomorrow and getting it straightened out. I'm still trying to figure out where to put a few items.

Earth day was a lot of fun. We got to see a lot of recycled stuff like clothes made from bottles. It was very cool. We learned about the local animals and the problems we have in the area. I finally got the animal stranding phone number in case I see any hurt or dead marine wildlife. One of the group blended up her own smoothie by powering up a blender with a bicycle. She wasn't too happy when she was finished since it was a lot of work.

Kitcat and I texted a little yesterday, but we didn't get to talk till today. With school and everything else in her life she's very busy. I asked when I would see her again and she promised this week, just not when. I'm very happy that I know she likes me and things are going well. I'm very sensitive to change in people around me. It's a survival skill from growing up in a insane household. You learn to know when someone is going to freak out.

I know need to find sometime to reset my engine light so I can get my car inspected. In a normal car that would be easy as unconnecting your negative ground from your battery. However with my car its housed in the wheel well which means a lot of bolts to be loosened before I can get to it. What a pain.

I've called Eric a few times but haven't gotten him. Not sure if his grandfather has died yet or not. It's so weird to call and leave messages. On one hand I don't want to be all cheery with this going on, but I don't want to be a downer either.

Revelations in the Land

I just realized that Mother's day is next week. Since I've been taking care of my Mom with her dementia the day has lost all meaning. However this time around I'm actually dating someone who is a mother. I'm so holiday challenged. I'll get her a pair of ear rings for the occasion.

Dinner at Kitcat's was fun last nice. It was great seeing her. Her son was dragging his feet with doing homework so we never made it down to the pool or hot tub which worked out for me since I didn't have a suit. I'm going to have to pack a Kitcat bag to keep in my car for different scenarios since most of out get togethers are spur of the moments.

I'm working it hard today with the anxiety and its' much less. The usual with me. I need to be in enough pain with something before I make the decision to full commit to change no matter how much I may not like it.

I have to admit I'm really not looking forward to tomorrow and cleaning out my extra room for the MT1. I've pulled most of the important stuff out of there that will stay in there. Now the place looks like a demilitarized zone. I like my order. In truth the biggest problem will be the 3 trips down to storage to get rid of it all.

Home life is now like a trip to Oz. The landscaper is now in full swing and shrubs, white rocks, etc are not doting the property. You have to understand I've been here 5 years and any green was moss on the dirt. Now to see this well organized landscape is truly unreal.

Don't Touch my Wookie

Do you know why I like Kitcat? Well I'll tell you. I went over to her place late last night after she had been napping from her camping trip. Now the funny thing is when I get there I have to call her to wake up to let me in. Yes this has happened more than once. Seeing how tired she was, I adjusted her first so if she conked back out she would at least feel better. After talking, sex, and dinner we found ourselves back on the couch. Only this time I was the one conking out. So I asked if she minded me going to bed. Kitcat said we didn't have to go to bed at the same time. Yeah its the little things for me.

My life lesson for today is that never get a haircut following a massage. MT1 will be the nickname for the new massage therapist in the office since she'll be around for a while hopefully. Anyway I had her give me a massage today to see if she was any good. I tell you getting a massage first thing in the office makes it hard to put your nose to the grindstone with work. While I was very relaxed, I was also covered in massage oil. Let me tell you cut hair likes to stick to oil. I've learned how to get rid of all the hair that is usually still on me. However today none of that is working and I'm feeling like a wookie as I keep wiping something and a bunch of cut hair is there.

Anyway now I have to clean out my extra room for the massage therapist. Not quite sure where I'm going to store all the stuff I have in there in the office. I might be making more trips to the storage unit than I would like.

I was pissed today that my license renewal seminar was cancelled and all the other ones in the state have already passed. So the next closest is Philadelphia which I'll probably be going to in June. I was happier with the one hour drive instead of 5.

The office phone is starting to be active again which is nice. I was talking to a friend this morning and said I know there is a lesson here for me somewhere. Since when I get stuck like this, I know its a strong nudge to get moving. Most likely its getting out of my comfort zone. So tomorrow I'll be calling the DCs a little away from me to talk to them.
