Last night at Board Game two of the guys were catching Pokemon and insisting they weren't REALLY playing the game. Uh-huh. The library where we meet is Pokemon hotspot of some kind, apparently. I tried to download it but couldn't find it on Google Play, does it not work on Android?
After Board Game I got an invite to go watch MMA fighting at my friend's house with a few people. My instinct was to claim a headache and go home but I'm trying not to avoid, so I said yes. MMA fighting isn't my thing (though the two women who wrestled was my thing, as it turned out) and they didn't have the damn AC on wtf, but the hard ginger ale was good and the company was good, and I was the only one who picked the winner in every fight, haHA.
One couple offered to put me on their "permanent list" so I can get into their stupid gated community without having to be called in every single time, which would be good, and hey, they wouldn't do that just to be nice, right? they must actually, like, like me. Right? Cue social anxiety. But it was all right. I dunno. People are okay, I guess, sometimes.
Go you with the socialization, Zen!
I'm in this constant loop of Needing to work all the time, while feeling that I also Need to do something like exercise, and Need to visit my family hours away, and Need to socialize with friends. And there just isn't time. So I work.
I'm going through a down time right now myself. I had a bad month at work and now I think my boss doesn't trust me. He is making me run decisions through our lawyer and it both grates and makes me worry about my job EVEN THOUGH THE LAWYER AND I AGREE 100%. I am casually looking for jobs closer to home--I'd like to have some of the two hours I am commuting back and forth each day back.
I did not lose the weight I wanted to so I will be feeling whale-like when we go to Hawaii at the end of the month. I'm just feeling generally disappointed myself in a bunch of ways.

Well, this is an exciting morning. Some dogs got into a bad fight at the dog park across the street, one of them appears to be dead, and one of the owners was bitten on the hand and maybe the head somehow. And now the ambulance is here.
... and this is why I don't go into dog parks.
Thank you for the supportive and needed words you guys. And, yikes, Consuela!
My pooch picked up a dog flu at a doggie rest area off I-95. My Vet strongly dislikes dog parks. We have a kids park across the street and sometimes at night there will be a neighbor dog that wants to run and we'll let Zoe off leash. She was totally embarrassed by a border collie a couple days ago. The other dog was even running in a wider circle to give her a chance and get her to keep it up. It is stupid hot here this time of year so they don't run long before they were lying down with tongues hanging out. I walk with her, but a Dobie needs to go faster than her old mother can manage.
Also, what Hec said so well.
