Weeks Events:
March 19 - Learned yet again why trainers should never try to teach adult learners by reading verbatim from powerpoint slides to the students.  Had a great session with my therapist about the possible etiologies of my horrible procrastination habits.  Skipped derby practice and had a phenomenal date with Sm.

March 20th - Flooding in and around town along with confusion on my part regarding location prevented me from attending a meeting - no great loss.  Watched kids lives being changed by art - Amazing.  Had half of a fantasy fulfilled (was naked in bed, left the door unlocked and called Sm who came over, walked in, we didn't say a word to each other, just started having incredible passionate sex) until the XH interrupted in a very persistent, untimely, and unwelcome way.  Potential disaster averted by Sm & I talking about the awkwardness and then picking up where we left off.  Rushed to an event supporting women's choice, back home, then off to a dance party.

March 21st - Lunch with co-workers, picked up my scooter from storage, helped set up for Sat's bout, hung out with Sm and her friend for the rest of the evening.

March 22nd - Bout Day!  We sold out our bout for the second time - So fun!Amazing game - very well matched teams - I jammed more than anyone else on our team - 13 jams!  crazy.   We lost by 7 points - but we made them earn their win.  The funniest part for me was when I was jamming against this chick and I checked the shit out of her and she looked at me and threw up her hands and was like, "what the fuck?" as if she didn't know that jammers can check each other.  Great afterparty, except for all the March Madness folks at the bar - lame-o's didn't  know that RD is much more exciting...  I asked Sm to be my girlfriend and she said yes.  Drunkenly home + 2 hours of wild fornication = no hangover the next day!

March 23rd - My Jesus Birthday on Zombie Jesus Day!  Brunch with a league member, some  time for me, then more wonderful fornication.  off to dinner reservations and guess what?  Sm threw me a surprise party!  I've only known her for 6 weeks and she freakin threw me a surprise birthday party - how amazing is she?  I was stunned and speechless for several minutes (I have a hard time with surprises), but it was really nice.  Then home and guess what...more and more fabulous loving.  She and I cannot get enough of each other.  I haven't had a sex drive like this since I was 17.  Actually even then, I didn't have the desire to stay in bed for umpteen hours at a time.   Sm  has been kind of amazed at my ...enthusiasm...if you will...for girlsex - esp since it's fairly new to me ( & esp since i'm bi and not a full-time lezzie).  I told her I've known what I wanted in that area for a long time and I've never been shy sexually.   With the few girls I've been with before her I've actually been pretty startled at the reluctance on the part of full-time lezzie's to go down on another girl.  Cause I won't lie, I love it.  Love it.  Okay, back on track....

March 24th -  Bleh Work.  League meeting for Roller Derby.  Tempers flared, accusations between refs and players flew, people got defensive and accusatory...just another league meeting.   Feeling bunk once I got home, hard to sleep.

March 25th - woke up and went to the bathroom - oh that's why I was feeling so bunk last night.  I see.  Hormones are wonderful things, guys, truly.   Worked a bit, left early b/c of a power shut-down, saw Sm for 2/10ths of a second, hung out with my heart sister and ate way too much.  Feeling lonely once home and alone.  Fell asleep promptly tho. 

And that's a week in the life of....

Short Time, Short Post -  very busy right now - signing purchase agreement for new home, contracting with title company for new home, organizing work meetings and registrations, working on and sending out vita and cover letters for second job to pay bills, finalized divorce agreements yesterday - all that's left there is the final signatures and moving out, Roller derby bout build up and practice 3x week, not sleeping so great, packing packing, did I mention packing?  Avoiding the strep throats, sinus infections, and stomach flus that are sweeping thru the work, derby, and play areas of everyone I know....bzzzbzzzzzzzzzzzzzbzzzzzzzzzzzzzyyyyyyyyyy

I have so much to do in January I think I'm going to lose my mind!  At least I currently have the energy to tackle everything since I'm pretty refreshed from my visit to Florida.
Here's what I've got on my plate:

Work:

• I'm coordinating everything for a Huge meeting for work next week.
• The following week the reason I have a job starts up again full speed, which means oodles of phone calls and paperwork.
  
• The week after that a Huge exhibition starts, luckily I don't run that, but it's all hands on deck.
• I've also got to schedule a big meeting for February, and start the process of developing a professional development seminar for June.  Oh, and re-imagine my program and develop a timeline to implement my vision.  that's all.
  

Home:

• I've got to pack everything to move and organize at the same time.

New Home:

• I've got to retain a title company and set up the closing.
  
• I've got to send my resume out so I can get a second job to be able to live on my own.  And hopefully start interviewing soon.
• I've got to move in at the end of this month.

Derby

• Get quotes for our uniforms.
• Measure all the girls.
  
• order all the uniforms
• heat transfer all the vinyl names and numbers
• Order new wheels and kneepads for myself so that I don't kill my knees on the concrete and so that I don't slide all over the place while skating on cold slick concrete.
  
• get in bouting shape in one month by attending 3 practices a week.
  
• bout on the same weekend I'm closing on my new home and moving in. 
  

Personal

• Personal life?  what personal life?  you're kidding right?
  

My life is on the verge of so much transition right now. 
I don't even know how to feel about it.
work, home, marriage, pets
All of it changing.
Not that change isn't a constant, but I'm talking CHANGE.
Sigh.
Dread and eagerness.
Whether I like it or not, I want to get moving already.

I shouldn't be...I drank too much last night and ate white castle's at an obscene hour of the morning...got less than 4 hours of sleep, still have a mild headache...had to give myself a shot in the belly first thing.  I lost my wallet last night after paying for white castle and have no idea where it could be. It's been rainy and cloudy for 5 days... I should feel like roadkill right now.  Roadkill that's a week or two old and so tattered it's losing it's stink.  But I don't.

I'm feeling pretty good.
H has made us an appt with a couples therapist.  He and I haven't fought in days.  And I'm starting to feel more tender and loving towards him than I have in weeks.
My heart sister and I were given the green light on the egg production, so I've started the hormones today (which the doctor told me should make me feel very good - no argument there- bring it on!).  No drinking for two weeks - it'll be a very good hiatus for me. 
Last night I had the privilege of making kissy face with someone who is probably the most beautiful woman I've ever touched lips to.  And she's sweet as pie, cool as hell, and fun to be around.  And she and H each think the other one hung the moon. 
Not accomplishing much at work, but my boss is off my back this week, which is very nice.
I even feel a bit hopeful about the future.

This week and next weekend are so busy, I'm freaking out a little bit. 
Send me good sleep vibes please!

8/8/7
Two EarthShattering Orgasms. +  Cheese fondue, salad, seafood & pork, beef, chicken, and veggie fondue, white and dark chocolate fondue. + Visit to browse the half-price bookstore. = Time spent together celebrating our love and commitment to each other.   Priceless. 

8/9/7
Coffeeshop + work + home + airport + work + therapist + work + sleep study =  time well spent.

Wow.  Sometimes I marvel at my amazing life.

Today, I'm in a better place than I was yesterday.  I feel more secure in my H relationship today and in general. He and I are going to spend tonight and tomorrow evening together before he leaves on his trip. I really hope we're able to reconnect on some levels before he leaves. 

The woman I'm talking to and I are trying to find time to hook up, but our schedules are making it really difficult - it could be a week or more before we see each other again.  That's disappointing.  She tickles my brain and my fancy.

I did not want to go to Roller Derby practice last night - so much so that I tried to sleep through it, but couldn't get my brain to shut down enough to nap.  So I got up and went, but stayed to myself mostly - that really helped.  I feel the need for a break - and I think after our season is over I'm going to take a few weeks away from RD altogether.  Just to regroup and feel re-energized, etc.  We've been playing so short (1/2 a team) that it's been really stressful. 

I feel comfortably contemplative today, not exuberant, but not heart-heavy either.  It's a good place to be.  Now if the damn copy machine guy will fix the copier so that I can make my program deadlines this week - that'll be a good end to a good day.  It's not a good sign that he's been here for 2 hours and the thing still isn't fixed tho....we'll see I guess....

I'm really so glad today is Friday.  This week has passed quickly, but some hours of it felt like I was on the freeway in rush hour traffic (which actually means standstill hour traffic).  This summer has passed awfully quickly as well, which I have mixed feelings about.   I enjoy Summer a great deal - the heat, the sun, the length of the days...those are all good things to me - but this has been a challenging year (following a couple of challenging years) and the further through processing difficult changes I can get, the better.  So I'm glad I'm moving through those things in what feels like a quicker fashion. 

Next week is going to be chaotic and busy...I have - at work: mailings of 400+ to go out, a workshop to plan, inventory to order, and many calls to make.  Home - an anniversary to invent a meaningful but inexpensive gift for, and grabbing what time I can with my H before he heads off on another trip, and a sleep study, and time for my four legged babies.  Roller Derby - one more practice and a make-up session at the gym (b/c I have my sleep study on one day of practice) and then a bout against a pretty intimidating team.  That my league is not taking seriously enough IMHO.  My sister will be coming in town to watch the game and I've gotta figure out how to come out to her about my sexuality and the changes in my married relationship  (and her BF will be with her - that will probably actually be helpful cause she'll have someone to talk to about it.).  I feel that I have to tell her though, if for no other reason than she'll probably observe me making out with girl(s) at the afterparty!  And do I tell her on the phone before she gets here or after she shows up?  I don't know.  plus GF - one to hang out with and schedule fun time together with and another to consider pursuing? or not? Not sure and neither was she the last time I spoke with her....oh, it's a complicated world, that dating world.

Or life in general.   I just continue to tell myself that my life cannot sustain the level of difficult changes that I've been dealing with forever - it's gotta at least slow down at some point!  Right?
