On being the best O'Dog I can be #2

[orangedog]

1. Still no paperwork. Everything's been approved but no word on the signing party I got a gift basket when I closed on the house. I expect at least as much from this event, dammit! It's a drag on me to mentally prepare for this then have to wait.

2. BFF has been supermom. Lately seen at the elementary school chumming around like she's one of the parents. W called me yesterday out of the blue and said that even she felt upstaged. While it's nice to have the help, I'm not sure about having a third parent.

3. Got torn up bad this week by "The Black Dog". Hard to work. Hard to concentrate. Hope those bites don't become infected. Was fine until this week - not thinking about sitch much. I just want this sh over so I can get back to my own show.

4. Been leaning hard on WomanFriend this week. Her best words this week were, "Keep being true to yourself."

5. Working on zen. Letting go. Living right now. Trying not to make sense out of things that don't make sense.

ReligiousFriend keeps asking me to go to his conservative church. I enjoy his insight and reflections but it's not something I want to do. In life outside this forum few know my practices and beliefs except maybe my kids (not sure W even knew). Sooner or later I need to come out...or not.

6. Latest distraction. Old classic motorcycle. Cheap but fun. Ride it this summer. Restore it this winter. This was my one 'pull money out of savings - do something crazy' thing allowed. My kids love mc s too and enjoy riding along down the quiet city streets.

7. Yes, I realize it's a perfect opportunity to read "Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance"

8. Bluerain. I looked up your article by title and I promise not to pick up cute cuddly otters. The kids and I got to meet Chance the fox at the AK Zoo so I can understand now how people think these animals could even be pets. Let me know if you're ever up here in A town.
