I bit the holy hell out of my tongue the other day. And I was eating chili of all things at the time! How the hell I managed that is beyond me! lol I must have caught it at just the right angle because it’s not what one would consider a normal bite either. It’s a gash about 1/4 of an inch long and it seems pretty deep. Twenty four hours later and the spot was still very tender and sore. And it hurt like a bitch!
To make matters worse, I had a “date” scheduled, which I had to promptly cancel. I don’t know about you but there are plenty of activities that require my face to be involved and I was unwilling to forgo them. It was a major disappointment to say the least. He was equally disappointed. I sent him a pic of the damage so he wouldn’t think I was flaking. And it gets better! The very next day I caught Mr. Happy in my zipper while at the gym. It didn’t break the skin but it did leave a nice dark dime-sized bruise! Being out-of-service from both ends was a frustrating experience to say the least.
Anyway, I will survive. I’m on vacation this week from work. When I get back I’ll be on the new detail I mentioned. I pity the vendor that first week as I adjust. And even worse, the first week is 8-4 instead of 9-5! aaack! I don’t have any plans for the down time other than Cooper. I don’t know if I’ mentioned it but I planned a cruise with my bestie’s in November. I am so in need of a vacation away. But since I still need to make some cash first, I decided not to go anywhere this next week. I’ll probably take Cooper to the beach tomorrow. I might take him in a zip car up the coast for a bit. He loves going “bye-bye.” I also need to catch up on a few chores, file taxes, and video games. The latter not really being a need as much as a want. hehehe

Everyone has been asking about the pup I mentioned in the rebound post. And I appreciate all the advice I got by comments and email. So many of you had a wealth of advice. I felt truly honored that so many of you took time out to share. To clarify a bit, I really was interested in him. I think I may have implied I wasn’t. It was the intensity of some of my feelings that were based in insecurity not my general interest. Anyway, for a variety of reasons we’ve decided to step back and just be friends. And yes, I really do plan on being friends. We hadn’t yet reached a level of intensity that would have made that impossible or improbable so I think it is going to be fine. We actually hung out after we had the talk and it was ok. We may revisit it again in the future but for now, it’s not in the cards.
And that’s that. lol Actually, I’m not at all sad. I am disappointed obviously, but not sad. I learned something from it and I think that is the point. I think he did too. And I continue to make myself available to opportunities to date as they come up. Nothing currently working but ask me again tomorrow.
