Just hitting 02:25. Cooling, down to 75 in this front room. Open,
with a fan going, but no ac used through the day, upstairs or down. A
first in a few weeks? Or so. Probably closer to a month or
two. Even when I would use the ac, this room wouldn't often be this cool
by this time. It really is feeling more like fall.
No more food, tonight. Just not hungry. Nothing to drink.
Tea, tomorrow. Maybe the rest of the steak. Or not. If I
have yogurt, or cottage cheese, it will be without fruit or sweetener.
Or tea or coffee. Though would like to go with non-caffeinated tea,
again, if I go that way.
Trying to push blood sugar down, whatever it takes. And see what is
wrong with what. Steak, yogurt, eggs, maybe a mix of things. Would
like to make a cheesecake, tomorrow. But... the thing with those, is
they need to rest overnight, or even for two days? Some of them suggest
such. I have lemons. If they are still good, I may add some of
that. Will see.
Hungry. But would rather see if I can get blood sugar back down.
Pound it into control. Fasting, when I'm not really ready, is
difficult. But that can be a good time to do it, if... it can be
done. Even a partial fast, intermittent. Would love some yogurt,
say. But no. Though, tomorrow, don't mind having yogurt, or else,
beside steak. If only within the six hour eating window allowed by
intermittent fasting.
Some... fondly remembered tunes showed on the feed, or a secondary means.
She knows it. But any woman who loves a man knows, if they truly do
love, pain will... be a part of it. Changes, some she... won't see
coming until... they overwhelm her. It's as good as it gets. The
option is to be alone, to die barren, empty, devoid, unloved. Brutal,
either way. One way comes bearing hope. One doesn't.
Old, but... not that old? Hope to find out.
Her memory lingers too. Have... tried this, done this, successfully,
unsuccessfully successful, in various ways. But she will always be on my
mind, they? Both of them. Though, too... the others. If not
quite like her... them. There is gone, and there is all the way
gone. Two different types of failure.
And it... seems like some woman... keeps thinking some things. To be
honest, she probably didn't have a chance. American women don't game up
until it is too late these days. I hope they enjoy their lives, and
whoever will take them, for whatever time. But, they have been
betrayed... untrained, unable, made unwilling, taught but left ignorant,
assured of equality, then... left to their own devices.
There is no room for such women in a man's life, if he wants children,
ever. Could just sort of do and hope, but if she isn't willfully
involved with the process, she will always hate the man who gave her what she
truly needs, not just what she wants. Brutal, this game. But
choices are real.
Goodnight.
Brutal, indeed.
ReplyDeleteFeeling betrayed on all fronts, myself included... Family absent, Actually tried to sleep with the dogs, under her desk. Couldn't sleep. Laid with them a couple hours. 9 cold ones left, soon to be 8, I knew this would happen eventually after two years. How do I react? Calm, and carry on... or freak out at breaking my Dry spell. Calm...one day at a time, win some lose some. Today I lost, there will be tomorrow.
I betrayed myself.
Well? Could enjoy the dump, just a bit. As I've said, if I ever have to bail a plain, without a parachute, I'm not going to cry all the way down. I'm going to flap my arms, to see if I actually can fly. And, if I can't, then I am going to do flips, and turns, and whatever else I will most likely never get to try again. Like the cartoons.
ReplyDeleteIf I survive? Cool. If not, I'll have fun dying, as much as possible.
It's... not about not falling. It is about getting back up. You know you will fall, one way or another. I'm not going to kick you for falling. I might for whining about it, or hating yourself about it, or not getting back up, starting over. Even knowing, someday, you will fall again. Even if you quit drinking again? You'll... fail some other way. It's... our nature? Our job? *grins*
Seriously, shake it off, get back in line, and to it... just like the rest of us. But enjoy, if you can. No blood, no foul... mostly. And, if you are still weak, fall again immediately, for the next week off an on? Get it out of the system, reset when you can, and go, go, go. Just... don't make a small mistake a big one, by driving or such. Just... take it easy, slide it until breaks catch, then get back to it. Bleh. Sucks, but not a deal breaker... for yourself. The rest of us... understand.
Two years is pretty good. Next go for three, or five. Meh.
Thank you.
ReplyDeleteIt really is just that easy. Remember that for next time, of whatever cause. It's why I'm not taking a dirt nap, finally. I don't even mind the pain, these days. Mostly. Be well.
