A friend of mine called and said to get dressed- we're going out in an hour. I am so nervous but he's right, I need to get out of the house. Usually I have to plan at least a week in advance before going out. Should I? Or should I not? I haven't gone out in soooooo long. Months really. Except for work, school and church.

you have an hour.... get dressed and ready.. tell yourself you are going to have a great time.... you will be out of your comfort zone for a wee bit as it's been so long... but you'll soon get into the swings of things... just think of all the potential fun you might have!

Yep, I have found that the longer I have to THink about something, the less likely I am to DO it. And I bet I'm not alone.

Go out, have Fun...and for now, don't Think. Just enjoy :)

Lol. Thanks guys. I'm ready and shaking but kinda excited. We're just going to get some food 15 minutes away.

Getting out is SOOOO good for you. I say that as I spend day #4 in my pajamas on the computer. I hope you had fun!! Let us know how it went!

How did it go?

I think it's important to always TRY! Even if it wasn't the best, you participated and you're living life! Important when dealing with BP I think.

I just got home. I have a nice little buzz going on from weed and Hennessy. Sigh. We fooled around A LOT which means I officially cheated on my boyfriend but I don't feel guilty about it in the least. Time to go wash the stink of sin off me and does anyone know how to get rid of love bites? Sigh.

oh, great - now "I" have to go to confession because I told you to Go Out There! LOL

(glad you had a Good Time)

lol

iam30113 07/20/2014

And you know what, I really did, MA. I had a fabulous time. Yeah, I cheated but it was so playful and fun and emotional that I almost don't care. I was fucking HAPPY. That is so rare I'm finding it hard to care about how this happiness came. I just wanna enjoy it while I can. Plus this buzz is beautiful.

iam.... Please be careful if you're hypo or headed towards mania... There's always a crash after a high and unless you don't care about whether your relationship can survive infidelity this can come back to bite you..
This isn't judgement from me... I don't want to see you hurt or crash... Big hug for you...x

iam30113 07/20/2014

Thanks Sun. I think I'm hypo already and as much as I want to care I don't.

sadiegirl13 07/20/2014

I know that feeling, iam!!

iam30113 07/20/2014

All part of the cycle, huh Sadie? Sigh. Sucks because now I am craving this other guy. I hate it when I get like this. I don't want this to be a full blown affair. Christ, I should be single.

Once again I've had a fever today. I'm not going to the hospital because that's a huge waste of time but I did schedule a dr appointment for Wednesday afternoon.
