Always Tricky

One of my patients contacted me asking me my opinion on their daughter who went to another chiropractor and what I thought of his prescribed treatment.  Always tricky situation unless the doc is a complete boob.  However she trust my judgment so I am honest with what I think and what I would do and let them make their own decision.

"I'd never belong to a club that would have me as a member." ~ Groucho Marx

This quote came to my mind yesterday as I walked through the mall.  Two separate women had seemed interested in me, but I wasn't in them.  This came back to my mind.  My therapist and I had talked about this when I use to go, but why I can't remember.  Anyway there were woman that I liked that didn't like me.  So I had to look at it.  Had I fallen into that situation that I was only going for the unattainable?  Looking over the past year I didn't think so.  I had gone out with a few women who had started the process.  However I do know I can get into that man on a mission thinking and not see who is interested in me.  Something I am still working on. 

Soggy Tuesday

I didn't even realize I didn't post yesterday.  Well I started unloading my storage unit yesterday. I happened to be at the office when a new patient called so I had them come in.  Anyway I knocked off half of the unit yesterday.  A lot of stuff I haven't used in 2 years so I doubt if I really need it anymore.  I was going to do some today, but the skies opened up and I didn't feel like getting soaked.  I have to admit 2 years does something.  I tossed all ex's cards and letters to me.  I remember when I gave her her stuff.  She was I don't want it.  I told her do what she wanted with it, but it was hers.  For me the few decent memories I can keep in my mind, but the stuff no longer holds anything for me.

Really funny today at Subways.  The cashier who I guess liked me until she saw I had Eric as one of "those".  LOL.  Today dealing with I felt like saying who killed you cat?  Oh well. 

I am happy to see my progress with dating.  I've dated more in the last year than I have in my whole lifetime.  I started dating last year as a way to keep working on myself since I had hit a plateau with just being by myself.  So I'll just keep fine tuning it as I go along.

Date Recap

Well I remember my first impression of Christine when we talked on the phone a few weeks ago.  The chemistry just wasn't there and it wasn't there today.  She's a nice person, but you really appreciate the chemistry you get with people when it isn't there.  I've had worse no chemistry dates.  So our hike really got panned due to all the rain from Ernesto which closed a lot of the trails.  However I didn't over think it and was relaxed during it so a step in the right direction for me.

Well now off to find a book for myself and a nice dinner out.  I don't know where yet, but I want to treat myself.

Parties and Sundays

Well as Hoochie Momma Partues go it wasn't that bad.  I think it was the assistance of about 20 city police officers that did the trick.  We had some help valeting and they dealt with this crowd a lot so we upped our fee to $20 a car.  Jeez people just forked it over.  I had to work a few people to get it out of them.  I ended up managing while the other guys ran cars.  There was just so many people it was crazy.  Their must have been at least 600 people walking back and forth between clubs.  When everyone was leaving I was surrounded by so many people I couldn't see the outside world anymore.  It was funny to see about 10 cops walk in a line across the street and just get everyone to disperse which is always a good thing.  They start hanging around with a few drinks and that many people fights always start and this crowd is armed.  I'm getting money from people and their keys and it's like people I don't care where your gun or drugs are.  I'm not giving you a discount if you show me your breast.  Give me the money or move!

So I am getting ready to meet Christine.  We are having hiking date on a really great trail I've done before.  It's a little weird since we have talked almost daily for 1 1/2 months now and we haven't met yet.  Outside my normal rules.  Well I let you know how it goes later.

Saturday Musings

One thing that I have been talking about with friends this week is that I am still perplexed what to do with my feelings when a woman is interested in me.  I'm okay the other way around.  I think it still lies in my perfectionism defect.  That I have to act or be a certain way because if she really knew me she wouldn't like me.  An old tape, but still a powerful one. 

I don't want to work today.  Usually we are closed for Labor Day weekend, but not this year and they keep booking more parties.  We already had a wedding and another party tonight with regular reservations.  Now they have added the dreaded hoochie momma party.  I already have to be there 2 hours early now to be there till 3 am with rude people.  This sucks.  Also now they want to do a party tomorrow.  I don't think so.  Christine and I have finally gotten a day off together and we want to go on a date.  So NOTHING is getting in the way.  I might be tired for tomorrows hike, but I will be there.  It will just be weird to where jeans on a first date, but I would feel weird to dress up to go hiking.

Awards Time

Well its Awards time again.  Never been around for it, but I have seen it on a lot of journals.  Here is the link.  Go find out about it if your new and vote on whether this ancient tradition, only 3 years old, but a tradition none the less is to be continued.  Also spread the news.

Start Gathering the Animals

Well we had 10 inches of rain so far and about another 3 hours of rain before it starts slowing down.  I will probably leave work early today since I doubt if I will get any last minute calls.

I can't believe I got a letter from state taxes yesterday for the business saying I missed one month. That being June 2005.  2005? that is over a year ago.  Is that how far the government is behind.  WTF?  Now I have to dig through my records to find a check for then.

Mom was off today.  Just in a bad mood so hopefully after her nap she will be better.  I did get to talk to my brother for about 10 minutes on the phone just about ourselves.  It was nice to be congratulated on my work on our Mom and his offer of help if I needed anything personally.  My brother made a good point about divorce.  I already knew from my own experience that Eric would still be able to grow to be productive being a child of divorce.  However my brother pointed out that you then don't have a template for how to make a relationship work to stay together.  Boy could I relate to that.  I mean I learned a lot the last 5 years of marriage.
