Meetings and New Friends, Doctors and Life
It's been a week and I never posted about this. Shame on me.
Last Saturday afternoon, I finally got to meet Barbara and Randall, something we have planned several times and wasn't able to do because of various reasons. I was determined that nothing was going to stop me from going this time.
We met at Outback and I was all gussied up in my new black blouse and jeans and my favorite strappy silver heels. The first thing that happened when we were seated was that a tray of iced tea was dumped in my lap.
Of course.
First time I meet someone and I have to sit during dinner feeling like I wet my pants. Ugh. I am so glad it wasn't a first date or meeting with someone I was romantically interested in. That would have been so terrible and embarrassing......
I had a really fantastic time despite the tea incident and we plan to hang out again sometime soon. They are a fun couple and it was nice to have adult conversation about some common interests.
Went to the sleep study doctor today and have a follow-up sleep lab on the 18th. I am dreading it, but there is light at the end of the tunnel. She pretty much echoed what the ENT told me in November. She also offered the solution of a CPAP, rather than breaking my jaw to realign the jawline, which was definitely a wonderful thing.
Side note... something that has irritated me for a few weeks. I have told several people about the possibility of having to have my jaw broken to realign it so I can breathe. It's pretty serious to me. Everyone... everyone... except ONE person has greeted that news with expressions of sympathy, empathy, and support. Steve S thought it was funny and made a very inappropriate bondage related joke. I was not amused. This was after he showed up nearly an hour late for our date.... I tried to ignore those two things and enjoy the evening and for the most part I did enjoy. However... it has preyed on my mind. I have given him several chances to show that he has matured and I believe that he has proven that he has NOT matured at all. I posted some time ago about that.... and I am very happy that I was cautious about re-establishing a relationship. It won't be a wrench to sever the cord
And to add to the wierdness... the picture I posted a couple posts back with my sisters.... I was photo sharing on Yahoo messenger and closed it after I showed it to Steve S. He got upset because he was trying to save it. Huh? What for? It is an old picture of me AND MY SISTERS, while we were minors. I was merely sharing a happy day and didn't give a thought to him saving it. I could never get him to explain why he wanted to save it, so I put it down to some obsessive wierdness and moved on. But it was creepy, to be honest.
He is just very arrogant and think the world revolves around him and it's okay to make fun of people. One of the most irritating things about him is his attitude of superiority to servers/waiters. I worked in retail and restaurant for 20 years and jerks like him are why I stayed so exhausted. Smiling and being pleasant to assholes is just not easy
This has been a terribly long week at work and I am SO glad it is over. I plan to clean and work on crafty things this weekend.
I will be one of seven moderators for full_moon_swaps , something I am very excited about. The announcement will be made in the next day or so, then I will announce the February theme. I have been really discouraged about that community, thinking I found it just as it was gasping its last breath. I hope we can keep it going and stay true to songtoisis 's vision, while implementing new ideas and plans.
