Spike's Bitches 48: I Say, We Go Out There, and Kick a Little Demon Ass.
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.
I can feel my feet and legs swelling from the peripheral edema I get at times.
I get that too, from the BP meds. I haaate it. Also the pinprick hemorrhaging, which is supposedly harmless, but I don't like it.
The way to deal with it is don't walk or stand too much and don't sit down too much.
What's left?! Can't lie down all day. Frustrating.
Strix, that's pretty...forceful? I feel like someone would have to be all "um, yeah, uh, busy. Busy all the time. Yup". (In part this is because last time I saw her she was all "we should hang out" but I think meant it in that not-actually-meaning it way? But I want her to say no if she meant it in a friend way? Sigh). What I really need is a handy group event I can invite her to, but I don't have any (and have no idea when she'd be free even if I came up with one, since she works a weird schedule). But oh, the crushing...
I'd go casual, meara. Maybe a hey, I'll be in your neighborhood, want to meet for coffee/drinks? That way if she says no, you won't have laid all your cards on the table.
But I want her to say no if she meant it in a friend way?
So you are not interested in friendship?
I also have the damn swollen feet and legs. I am sorry to have to report that the knee-high compression stockings do help. The only thing that really helps is getting the feet higher than the heart, which is not a position in which I can get a damn thing done. I have seriously considered purchasing a recliner. Of course, I'd have to get rid of furniture first.
I am fine being acquaintances and friendly, but since I've got a terrible crush on her at the moment, I'd rather not be friends? If that makes sense? Not if her commenting on my FB is going to make me all addlepated and all "what does it meaaaaaan?"
Went on my first date in seven months. It wasn't horrible but I dont think there will be a second date and that's in line with what I want. I have another first date on Thursday. In conclusion, dating sucks, the end.
Ugh. I hear ya smonster!
