Sick Sad World

I almost feel like I'm juggling women today. It's Phili's birthday today so I texted her a greeting this morning. I got a thanks back, but who knows if she even knows who sent it. However I knew it was today and I still had her number in my phone so I figured I'd be nice since I know she usually is alone.

No claws came out at the meeting of L and the Photographer. The Photographer joked that we were strolling later on FB. L welcomed her on FB an mentioned the rain and to have a great weekend. Who the hell knows what it all means.

My ex called and left a message about did I want to try and do the flying this month or in August. I texted back that I would see what I could find out. With it being only a few weeks away it maybe hard to pull off. I'd rather text than talk. I know myself it's WAY too easy to fall into old habits that I don't want to do.

I'll be out of the house most of the weekend with 4 different singles events that I'm running. Yes I know I'm probably stretching myself thin on this one, but hey it'll be fun. Anyway Single's son and younger brother will be staying with us at the house while she works for extra money.

Crazy is As Crazy Does

It's been a busy day around the office today which is good. Not much out of the ordinary here so I figured I would keep you updated on the crazy women that have lived in the house over the last few months.

Single - Sad to say single flunked all her classes this semester in college. While this is sad, it isn't crazy. What's crazy is her decision now to home school her younger brother. What makes her think she is qualified is beyond me. Home schooling is a lot of work.

Inverse - Is all set to start cosmetology school at the end of the month. She gave up waitressing to instead be a cocktail waitress at the restaurant bar. I think she couldn't hack taking the waitress test. She wants to borrow the landlord's sander so she can't paint her truck blue. Let me tell you it's a big freakin' truck. My guess is after 30 minutes she'll be like WTH was I thinking. Then a shit cover up job will follow.

Phili - the other day it was 70 degrees here and she went down to the beach. She said she had a lot of fun in the ocean. When asked if anyone else was in the water she said no. I wouldn't think so since the water temperature is in the 40's. However she wasn't cold. It reminds me of that Seinfeld episode with the cold shower.

George - cold showers? Isn't that what they give psychotics?

Kramer - I take cold showers.

Nuff said.

I Love the Smell of Testosterone in the Morning

Over dinner tonight the Landlord informed me that he thinks he's going to go all male in the house. The craziness of Inverse and Single has worn him thin. Both still owe money and the drama that they bring with them predicts that nothing is going to change anytime soon. In my experiences in the house over the years, the Landlord chooses people to help out. I've been there and sometime still there. However with this comes a lot of problems and drama. The more stable people he doesn't seem to pick. I've lived with all guys and a woman around does make the place smell nicer.

Tuesday Wrap

Besides one patient cancelling it was still a great day which makes it 2 days in a row. I can't wait till it's the norm. All my patients pretty much bunched together makes it much easier for me. Now I just need to sit down and systematize everything better instead of it just being in my head where my day to day emotions can nudge it any old way.

I agree with Senorita wants my attention. Tonight was more funny than anything else. After dinner I ironed my clothes Inverse came down the stairs to do her triceps push ups next to me. There's physical attraction between us, but I like where I live and I'm not moving. Two there really is nothing to be gained for me. She may be a hottie and she is nice to look at, but I don't want anything else from her. I'm trying to use the whole incident to exorcise the remnants of this attraction for this kind of woman.

She hasn't tried to physically interact yet which is good cause I know that will be a problem. Inverse has started several times to indicate she would like treatment from me. It's always been interrupted which is great. She's not in agony so I don't feel any urgency and I know she doesn't have the money for it. If she was in a lot of pain and couldn't work I wouldn't have a problem with it. I offered Single treatment when she hurt her back and was having a hard time doing her duties as a waitress. She needs money to feed her kid. I'm happy to help. I just don't want to get into a situation that Inverse owes me anything. I don't want her knocking on my door one night to pay me back.

Happy girl and I are still playing tag to nail something down. More sure to follow.

Medical Daze

I had my first official meeting today to start my medical marketing program off. I started making a mountain out of a mole hill with the whole thing. Then I realized I've done enough of these one to one meetings and everyone says I excel at them. So then I realized that it was the medical doctor part that was causing my concern, but when I accepted that it would be the same as all the others I'd done it was okay. The meeting went very well and I knew I could offer them more than what they were getting already. So I left figuring very good about the whole thing.

Today was the first time I needed to send a patient to the ER while I've been in private practice. I've made the call when I've worked with other doctors, but it was different today. However I knew her injuries from an accident were something I couldn't help her with at the moment.

My Landlord is trying to go out of town for the rest of the week today. Single is gone from the house, but Escort is a problem. She didn't seem to understand that not paying rent 2 moths was grounds for being kicked out. She was suppose to meet Landlord yesterday to finalize everything before she left, but that never happened. So her stuff is still in the house and he wants to get out of town like he had scheduled. Since he has no way to contact her now I hope I don't have to deal with her. However it will be great to have the place to myself.

Friday Fun

8 years ago when I left my atheist ways of 18 years and started down a spiritual path I looked for people who had things I wanted. It worked very well when I lived in NY since there was many people that I looked up to. However when I came to Virginia I have not been as fortunate. Most people were still learning and no one was ahead of me to learn from and I've gotten out of practice. So when I was reading one of my business books on the subject I started thinking of who would be good candidates. First up was Loan Lady and we met for Starbucks this morning to talk about what she does. It was very helpful. A lot of it was being positive and energetic. While I'm extremely energetic I work on the positive part. Also was the change of a few words. Instead of networking she used making friends which I adored. I know for me words have power and subtle changes like that mean a lot.

I'm a little tired today since I loaded my ACT program to help me track my business and where it comes from so that I can focus on what works and what doesn't. As usual I'm a guy and don't read directions, however with a little side tracking I got it working very well.

On the home front my Landlord stated he wanted both women out by Sunday. He's leaving next week for his train show and doesn't want them still there. The spoons in the garbage disposal last time probably didn't help. Single was suppose to be out by Sunday, but seems to be dragging her feet which is normal for her. Escort hasn't been home for most of the week so I know he was going to call her. It will be awesome to have to place alone while he is gone. Nakedness and blasting music will commence in 4 days. Woohoo!!!

My Wish

You know I've been wanting to be able to grieve the ending of my relationship with the Planner and my feelings have been dribbling out here and there. Well I feel them today while I can't say I have a box of Kleenex here, I am down. My focus is negative and I'm happy that I have nothing going on business wise today. So hopefully by the end of the day I'll be done and over this since even I'm getting tired of this.

Home life update: Single has been yo-yoing back on forth on leaving and staying. So again she is leaving and is suppose to be gone this weekend. Escort hasn't been home in a few days. My guess is she is shacking up with someone in hopes of a free place to stay. Hey you have to think positive.

Drak Clouds on the Horizon

Well I texted the Planner twice today and got no response. When I got home tonight I called her like usual and got her voice mail. So I left a message and texted her again to call me. Could this be the end? I have no clue. If it's a possibility I would rather it happen for something like this.

I had to admit it took most of the day to get to a good place with this. In relationships I still need for someone to say it's okay. I haven't been able to do that for myself yet in a relationship and this is the first time since I was married that I've gotten to this point.

On other fronts I had my physical today which is something I haven't done in about 5 years. Hey when you see a doctor in the mirror every morning, a handsome one at that, it's not so big. Everything went well and even had my first prostate exam. I'll know my blood work in a few days. The best thing about it was that my doc gave me a prescription for a year for my medication. This means I don't have to see my shrink for a year and that's a $200 savings.

The office phone was ringing very well today with new patients which was great. Still had my reschedules which I can't get away from. If I can't get the massage therapist off the ground then I'll focus on making my second room a second treatment room to counteract these reschedules.

Lastly Single is leaving the house and I believe my Landlord is giving Escort her walking papers. So things will change her again. The only bad this is when Single leaves the rent will go up. Her staying here has kept all the fees to stay the same. Oh well it was nice while it lasted.

Another Crazy Day

One day I would like a full day without one reschedule. I've had 3 today already. I only had 5 appointments. It has to be written somewhere that there's a limit. Over the last 2 weeks reschedules are becoming the norm. Today only one transferred to another day. The rest just did time switches which become problematic after a while.

On the plus side my friend stopped by to retake the pictures for my website. We traded services for it. So the first batch came out okay.

It's always interesting to watch someones stupid blunder. I'm sitting at the light a little while ago. Person runs a red light with the police sitting right there. The cop waited for a few seconds before going after them. I think he was stunned that someone just did that in front of him.

Waiting to hear from the Planner to see if she wants to get together tonight. She had a big list of stuff to get done. I'm hoping it's a yes. It would be great to see her and she could use the treatment since she missed her chair yesterday and fell on her butt doing some damage to her neck.

Lastly Single has stopped delivering papers. To most that would mean nothing. To me I was waiting for her to have a psychotic episode. You see here you have to pick the papers up around 2 am and have them delivered by 5 am. Yes 365 days a year with no time off. They pay isn't bad, but unless you want to sleep throughout the day and never go anywhere it sucks. Single's problem is that she has a 2 year old. The longest she was sleeping was 4 hours. The human body can only handle so much. I was waiting for that psychotic episode, not quite sure what it would have been, but it would have been blogworthy.

My Trouble In Paradise

At times I can't figure the Planner out. It just seems she wants to buck around and feel that she is still free. I brought up how I felt last night and it went over well. She went into why she kind of brought it up. That we are scheduled to see each other Wednesday and Saturday nights. I think the confines of a relationship get to her since I joked that I have her on the books forever and freaked. She didn't know what her point was, but she was thinking about how we have sex every time we see each other. We talked about it and we agreed since we don't see each other a lot that's probably the driving force. I told her if she didn't want to it's okay with me as it has been in past weekends.

She had some problem with all the women in my life. Most of my patients are female and that their are two women (Single and Escort) in the house I live and the singles events. I asked if she trusted me and she said she didn't know me long enough, I hadn't given her any reason not to trust me. So she was just doing so. Their were other points, but like I said I don't truly know what the point was beside what she said. At some point she just needs to say something. This may be a point that will drive us apart in the future. The Planner seems to have this black & white line in her thinking. She always states it from being adopted.

I find it hard since I want to take her serious and make changes that will help the relationship while still being true to myself. Since the Planner has never been married and the two serious relationships she's had were f'up me thinks she may have a unrealistic view of what a relationship is. Only time will tell.

My Day

I had a meeting this morning with a wellness guy. Holy hell was this guy mellow. I mean I could hire this guy to talk to me so I could sleep well. The good thing was that he lowered his hair since the one on his business card is about 3 stories high. It was an interesting meeting. Not quite sure what his point was, but I got some useful info and I set him up to help on of the groups I'm a assistant director for.
The Planner has her annual mashagram today. I told her to let me know is she needs me to give any of the techs there a drive by wedgie for squashing her boobs to much. Now I think she is waiting for my physical at the end of the month.
On the home front both Single and Escort damaged their cars. Single is delivering papers for extra money and in this area you pick them up by 2 am and have them delivered by 5. Yes 365 days a year. Not in this lifetime for this guy. I know I looked into it years ago and it wasn't for me. Anyway late night and not enough sleep she drove her truck up on a high curb bending the wheel. Escort on the other hand was following a truck when it swerved. She didn't react that fast and destroyed both front and rear tires on her Lexus. Now it's funny that Escort drives an Lexus when she doesn't have a dime to her name. Her baby arrives next week from her mom's. For someone who was in the Navy Escort is a slob and I don't know how she is going to handle being a full time mom. Being right next to her in the house is my concern and we'll see how it goes.

I'm Beat

I tell you I think I'm getting to old for all this driving. The drive back today was a chore. I slept later in the morning than I wanted to. One from waking up from a dream that something was crawling on me and two a patient called very early in the morning to leave me a message. So when I finally got up I just showered and hit the road.

Traffic wasn't too bad, but I do have to complain about NY radio. STOP freakin' talking over the music. There are plenty of awesome songs that have beautiful beginnings and endings. I don't need to hear you jabbering over them. Honestly WTF is up with it?

My butt was sore and I was just tired so I stopped at Walmart on the way home. I just needed to focus my mind on something else. I picked up a few odds and ends that I needed. The Planner had told me that they had snake plants on sale. So I picked up one for the office and a new pot to go with it.

I made good time back, but I just wanted to be home. Surprisingly enough I got a few calls from patients wanting to come in tomorrow so I was able to fill the day up which is nice. Since this was happening I stopped at the office on the way home. One to set it up for the morning and two to transplant my new plant. This didn't go as well as I thought. While the new pot was big enough the opening wasn't and I could hear slight crunching sounds as I slid the plant into it's new home.

To celebrate my return I used one of my free pizza cards from when I was a delivery person. Hey it's good to be the king. The house was slightly better than I thought it would be. Single hadn't left any dirty diapers around the place from her son. While she didn't clean the dryer after her use she did pretty well other wise. Escort (because that's what she does at night) on the other hand had left our shared bathroom a mess. Her shirt was thrown over my sink. All the stuff on the counter was on her side so that didn't bother me. As always it'll be an interesting week without the landlord around.

I Forgot My Camera

I awoke early this morning and Eric who is usually the early bird had a hard time of getting up. I packed everything while he pulled himself together. Breakfast was a bit of a chore to get him to eat enough since I really didn't want to be stopping a lot and since he now gets sick in the car when he eats it was a major thing.

I'm like this gas prices going down. Gas was $3.30 a gallon. Woohoo! I had Eric clean my windows to keep him involved which was my point of the vacation. This time instead of doing a lot I tried to do more interactive events. It worked out well and we had a great time this week.

I was really sad yesterday with it coming to an end. Actually so sad that I didn't really want to deal with it and had to work on not acting out on it and causing problems. This was the first time Eric was pretty good with the end of the vacation. While he felt sad it never got to the extremes that it usually did.
On the Chesapeake Bay Bridge Tunnel, which is one of the seven engineering wonders of the world, they have a tourist area. I always think about it, but it's $12 to use the bridge so I never continue thinking about it. However we were talking about it and I suggested we stop on the way home to take a look. It was pretty nice. We had great weather for it. I was pretty annoyed that I had forgotten my camera. The thrift shop was very typical, but the view outside 4 miles out in the bay was awesome.

The rest of the ride was okay. There was a lot of traffic in NJ and NY which made the end of the journey seem to drag. This time Eric was bored and asking "how long" and "how many more mile?"

Not living in a metropolitan area anymore I forget certain things. One is how pervasive Hispanics are in our culture. I was scanning through the radio in NY looking for a station. I would have to say I went through at least 10 station before I even got to one speaking English. I know the day will come when they make Spanish the American language. English has been shot down too many times.

Origami is the word of the night at my brother's place. My niece got some origami paper and her book is in Japanese with expert directions. I use to do origami a lot when I was a kid. I still know how to make a gorilla. So I showed her how to do it. I'll have to find a better book for her and send it up.

I'll sleep late in the morning hopefully then head on back home to deal with Single and the Escort while my Landlord is away.

Mother's Day

Like Father's Day this is almost a non day for me. It's hard to see my Mom as she declines. Something else must of happened since her left hand seems weak now. I was happy to see that she had some gross use of her right hand. She did look nice today. The staff had dressed her nice for the holiday. I had picked up some hot pink nail polish for her. My Mom seems to like the flashy colors in her old age. So I did her nails and had a Snickers bar for her since they don't always have chocolate chip cookies there. I know my Mom and she is not one to pass up on the sweets. I wasn't able to contact my brother and family so their was no connection for her on that end.

The rest of the day has been relaxing. I've written a lot today which is surprising. Although it's nice to look at all that I have accomplished so far. Now I'm just hanging until Comedy Improv later tonight.

Talking with my Landlord last night and he said Single might be leaving us. Truly I don't care since I think she is more of a problem than she is worth which is something my Landlord is realizing. On a long enough time line her ways will cause a fire or some other disaster in the house. I was surprised with my Landlord's choices of what to do if she leaves:

1) Just be him and me which I have no complaints with
2) All guy house which isn't too bad. The guys that have stayed in the past have kept to themselves and been no problems.
3) I was surprised that finding another parent with a child was on the bottom of the list. He stated that he thought the generational gap was becoming too much of a problem and that we've had this long string of problem mothers.

So we'll see. I was waiting for it to happen, but utilities will be going up for us. It sucks, but with everything else sky rocketing it had to happen.

Home Life

As I've stated before my room mate Single is lazy and if to be perfectly blunt not the brightest bulb in the box. The last time our Landlord went away she left dishes in the sink and crap around the place until the day he came back. Well last night she came back with a friend and they baked. So this morning when I got up the sink was full and stuff was all over the counters in stacks. Hopefully when she gets up she will clean. If not I might be stacking all this crap in her room. I'm not cleaning up behind her and I also live there so I need access to stuff. We'll see.

It looks like we have a big crowd to go hiking tomorrow with on the beach. The weather is suppose to be in the 80's so the coastal breeze will be good. Then I can't wait to see Iron Man Sunday at the Commodore. It's our old style movie theater in the area. It's actually a historic landmark and I have to admit it is stepping back in time when you go there.

Williamsburg Here I Come

Well actually not till the end of the mont, but I signed up for a educational seminar to keep my lisence. Hope it will be enjoyable, but I know it will be a selling of products. Since German girl will be out of the country I was going to drive back and forth the hour each way. However I have to be there Sunday at 8 am so I decided to get a hotel and stay the night. There are enough festivals happening that weekend so I will probably find something to do. Although I would like to visit Williamsburg since in the 4 years I've lived here I haven't gone yet.

People may joke with me about dating, but I don't seem to have a problem meeting anyone like others. However meeting anyone of quality is more of the problem. So I think one of my usual breaks from dating will do me good. Even though I seem to be meeting more women than I usually do, I'm getting too much of the freak factor in it.

The Landlord is gone for the next 5 days so I have the place to myself. Music will be blasted for sure. My roommate, who I shall name Single, we have surmised is just plain lazy. I figured this out, but my landlord is finally getting on board. Hopefully she won't leave the place a mess till he gets home.
