life…the journey…
How did we get here?
Was it love? Did falling in love lead us to this moment?
How many times have we fallen in love?
Me? Russett? Krista? Jeremy? Tbag? Slab?
What is missing for us?
For me? …….I’m a tough case. I want what Ev was.
Is that easy? Touch me….When we went for a drive, she would just press her hand against me….push…my leg, my shoulder, my side….just connect with me………………
I mourn that touch. That push….that is the push of one person’s love to another….
From Ev to me…..
Russett and Slab are currently in relationships. They are supported…when they sit on the sofa to watch a show, they have a leg or an arm draped over them…touch…
Touch is my love language…
It’s been a while since I’ve been touched…I could change that, but I am trying to focus on Charlotte.
Here at the manblog, there are some good lives, and some under development.
Russett and Slab have their relationships in order. Krista is in love limbo, Jeremy is running the seniors circuit, Tbag I’m not clear on, and I am in a holding pattern.
My house is being painted…green….a friend of mine recently told me I look great in green so why not. I also have the hardwood to redo the floors. I’m starting to renovate/freshen up the place. I had planned on doing this when the last kid, which I thought would me Mels’ youngest, was off to university, but I’m doing it now.
I want my environment to be as close to perfect as I can get it.
Mel left with some stuff….her stuff…some of it I miss. One of those things is a stand mixer just like this one.
I was able to land this beauty yesterday. I’m also down a vitamix, but I didn’t use it often so its lower down on the list. If you watch FB, and are quick enough, you can get almost anything for free.
Of course, she took the cushions for the outdoor furniture, which it looks like I’m going to have to order replacements sometime before spring…if funding allows.
Funding is a huge issue right now. I had to pay the lawyer $2500 this week, $500 to hockey…I am getting deeper and deeper into it.
Staying in the moment….I will get to the end of this, and everything will have its place.
With the house being painted, it’s a total disaster at the moment, and I had it set up so nicely for the past month. The paint will be finished next week, and the house will be back in order, right now though, it has me spinning.
As far as me getting into a relationship goes…I need to focus on Charlotte for a while…and myself. I keep saying this over and over but I do miss company. I know its for the best….wait until spring, summer, until Charlotte is feeling more comfortable…happier.
Until I’m used to being alone….I guess….
And now….the Weather…
Slab….is not interested in posting photos of herself of exposing whom she is…not now. I asked her if it was ok to post a few of her best shape photos but she asked me to wait….so I offer this…this photo is very much what Slab once looked like.
I kid you not! She has been this meaty!
Slab is down to 133.8 thanks to the stomach flu…they should bottle it and sell it!
She is down 5 pounds this month.
Jeremy has gained 3.5 pounds. Unlike the rest of us, he is trying to gain weight after all. He claims he has a bit of a belly but arms and legs like matchsticks….ah…I’ve seen those photos…the flies buzzing around your eyes? More ice cream bud. I think chocolate is very calorie-dense also…chocolate milk, calories and protein!
We might as well do Krista next. Krista is S T R E S S E D out. She is juggling too many things. I’m batting for her to start taking care of herself…and share embarrassing details…but thus far its all Oreos and marshmallows.
Tbag is down to 145.2, that’s more than 5 pounds lost. She shared this image:
Her goal was to hit her target in just 5 more days, 6 pounds to go. Not likely to happen, but not a problem either, change the bar, it’s your goal…. adjust it.
Russett won’t give me a weight, saying he is stuck in the 230s with a colonoscopy and endoscopy in 2 weeks. We have been chuckling about his new goal weight being 20 pounds more than his starting weight of just a few years ago.
Yours Truly is still at 228.4, thats 30 pounds below my 2025 maximum. Today I have a great workout in front of me, chest and tris, then I think I’ll hit the sauna.
I’m happy….ish…really happy….ish….
I just wish it were a little different… and the paint was finished so I could set my life up nicely again.
More happy….ish….soon!
The Quote of the Day
A true relationship is two imperfect people refusing to give up on each other
I had hoped Mel would change, but she wouldn’t. It was never going to be her fault. She would insult me and Charlotte because that is how her Father raised her. She would never be sorry, she would never truly care about me or Charlotte…
Here at the man blog we are just a group of imperfect poeple trying to make ourselves healthier….and we aren’t giving up on each other.
