The drop & being ready

Yesterday went really good… my girlfriend and I went and picked up supplies and dropped them off with my elderly friends …

We just called before we showed up and said we doing quick drop, I can’t hug you or stay or be near you… I will leave supplies on porch – I love you and I will call you tonight. Stay safe ❤️

So we did that… and then last night I called and checked on each one… they doing good… they are a little frustrated being isolated and on lock down. I think most people are – this is annoying AF!!! But they are doing good and all are still healthy … so I told them – they need anything they call ME!! They say ok … but some wanna get out 🤨… I feel like I have to parent lol… no!! you stay in your room!! You are grounded for wanting to go out… Lol kidding but I want them safe and ok.

Most are scared though so they won’t go out. I just have like maybe 1 or 2 who do not like the isolation at all. They are all stunned by this whole world situation. They kept saying they never saw anything like it and can’t really believe it is happening.

I know, it’s just hard. 😔

In the meantime, while out with my girlfriend her and I chatted in the car… we were talking about a lot of things – not a lot of social interaction so we talked constantly…

And she said some things to me that kinda made me think… she knows about that cop guy… and then when I said… yeah I dunno, I’m not ready so I’m thinking no. It’s pretty much a no (lol)

And then she said… I don’t know how you do it … how do you just not want that? What is it that is going to make you ready for things? What exactly could someone do to make you even start to feel ready?

Oh wow! Lol …ok deep… umm… alright well – I love the peace in my life … I don’t have pressure in this area because I keep that peace… I don’t have to worry about being hurt or lied to or doing anything someone isn’t gonna like… I can just simply be me… I have peace ❤️ and then with that comes me learning what I want? And who I am myself and how I can be strong on my own… there are a lot of aspects there.

Yes I would love to just be able to be ready, and have someone to enrich my life – sure – of course …

But that’s it right there – I want someone to enrich my life – enhance life itself.

So I want myself strong and to have my own happiness and peace… and then same for that person. And I don’t want to ever worry – I want to be able to trust and let guards down… I just want a simple loving peaceful life.

If we are specifically referring to this cop guy… I don’t feel that… I don’t feel I can let my guard down … he does try to make me be as ease – however umm I don’t trust it… instead of allowing me to get to that point myself – he tries to convince me of that point. That keeps my guards up. Don’t try to convince me, let “me” get there.

I don’t feel at ease being able to trust him in that manner – as a friend yes absolutely … but more than that … yeah I feel fear and massive guards with him

We have an attraction yes… that’s all fine and dandy – but I dunno… yes I want the fire – but I don’t wanna get burned

And I really really really need to feel ok with letting guards down. There are ways to do that – but careful cause ya know it’s a slippery slope lol

I don’t want to ever ever ever go through the things I have been through ever again!!!

She thinks I should just “practice” …doesn’t mean anything big and could just me a momentary fling or whatever

But that is not who or how I am. I would rather get it right. I don’t wanna waste my time on anyone who doesn’t deserve it? I know that sounds kinda bad, but I dunno?

Why mess around with anything that doesn’t fit you? I don’t go buying pants because I just like them or they “look” like they will be amazing… if they don’t fit I don’t buy them – I don’t buy in hopes someday might perfect. 🤨 I don’t wanna just throw money away or throw my love around.

And that’s another big thing… I definitely do not want some overly suave, smooth, Casanova – eewww – nope ❌

I want to see someone who is kinda on the same page?

I wear my heart on my sleeve and I will let go with stuff… I want to just be at ease and relax which is why I am protective in the first place … I’m not gonna relax with just anyone.

So there!! I guess that would be it… anyway we on lock down and isolating so nothing happening at this moment – so I am safe lol (woo hoo)

She doesn’t like my answers lol but whatever – I hear her and I think about what she says – but I also know who I am.

Sometimes I might hear someone’s words and have to marinate on it lol … not that I will do anything I don’t believe is right for me – but I will hear and think about your words ✌️

  1. Uhhhh… you broke social distancing by hanging out with someone other than immediate family?? Your choice, I guess.

    As for dating… you’ll either find a situation for which you’re ready or you won’t. I quit “dating” over 5ys ago and I don’t miss it at all!!

    1. Yeah I did… but my girlfriend and her own family (husband 2 kids) have been on isolation for weeks now also… they are the family I have made here myself…

      And my elderly… They are like my family – they beside me through my very worst times. Kept my head up… helped me through… were very good to me, I tell you I wouldn’t have survived and walked through that without them – I’m not kidding – their support and help was incredible… I love them. And their own family’s are far or gone… so who’s gonna take care of these people? I would want that for my mom.

      … so I just make sure they ok… is only a couple and I don’t go near them

      We ordered off the app , picked up, and delivered … very little contact and I come locked and loaded – wear a bandana like I’m robbin a bank, I have hand sanitizer with me at all times, …is cold 🥶 (isn’t totally cold – but I’ve been Californicated – I was cold) so was bundled up and wore 🧤 gloves

      I try to think and stay careful. I just worry. I love my people… I don’t wanna lose them.

      I agree on the dating… but I have push back from my friends with the dating issue. Is because I am ?? I dunno… I am old school family oriented? So I don’t really fit in?? I am awkward being single lol … not a partier, just a homebody family mom type or ya know, trips to places like the movie… National Lampoons Family Vacation… that’s how I grew up and what I know… so I just don’t fit in as an adult being single …

      So my girlfriends push because they think I be better just not alone… and then they want me to give things a chance… Not be so closed up. They just worry. They think I’m too closed off – and I won’t give anyone a chance and don’t go out.

      I’m fine though.

      So I dunno, I don’t want someone just because of that though… I don’t mind taking my time … but they are all opposite of that 😑 they definitely do not understand my need for peace

      I have a nickname with them… we all do… stupid but whatever …stuff sticks 🤨… they call me Pollyanna lol 🤨 – not my real name at all

      But whatever – I just find my own peace. And so what?

      So I agree – what is meant to be just will be

      And btw… I’m definitely NOT boring with things… not a Pollyanna – just private and guarded.

      Or as I like to say… smart lol 😄✌️

      1. I’m glad you thought to help out the seniors. Lots of people, including neighbors, know I’m alone and have health issues. So far, one person, with worse health than me, has checked to see if I need anything.

      2. I am always checking on them, so doesn’t take a lot of thought. And I love and care about them so want them ok

        People don’t always think, or they are scared?

        Hopefully you are doing ok… are you holding up ok?

      3. Thx. I’m having moments of severe financial fear and sleeping a LOT but otherwise okay.

        As for checking on me, or seeing if I need groceries when they’re going out, it doesn’t occur to them – even though I’ve often made offers to them in the past.

      4. Yeah … that financial fear I think is now nationwide. I have moments of panic thinking how I’m gonna get through this too.

        I already went through sooo much… whew ok … so there’s more 🤨✌️

        On one hand – I find blessings in this? Oddly… but on the other hand it’s terrifying in some aspects.

        I’m sorry your neighbors are not more thoughtful! If you were closer – you could call me.

        There used to be a saying when you were raising a child – “it takes a village” … but that’s kinda life in general… the more we take care of each other – the stronger we are.

        Sleep is good… my whole sleep pattern is out the window… I still have my internal alarm waking me up before dawn 🤨 … but I haven’t been sleeping well. I have trouble falling asleep and then wake constantly. Probably just worried … cause so many thoughts.

  2. So cool seeing things from a female’s perspective. Do women see things differently than men? I wish some day I can write something just as you had. Like the other day, I met up with a girl and I think she is attractive and what you might ask, I don’t know. ….just kidding. Coronavirus, no meeting.

    I won’t get into the coronavirus thing, haha. I’m guilty of running about in the neighborhood, literally and figuratively. 10 or less people is ok, right? I think I crossed path with more than 10 people during my run. Yes, I can see why the French ban running outside.

    Grocery stores are places where most people congregate. It is only places that are not closed. I was told there are stores now that only allow x number of people entering at a time, but not the one I went to. Why can’t I just order things online and let them shipped to me? Well at least finally, the store I went to today is nearly fully stocked again. I could buy meat! yay.

    1. Well… if you know her – I would think you have a better chance. I practically run away from being asked out by people I don’t know… but every woman is different so depends on what type of woman she is. My girlfriends are different than me…

      That’s why is best to know her … kinda know your approach. Get to know her, but be yourself. But again – that’s how I am or prefer… if I know you first, I will think about it before I say no lol kidding – I’ll say yes someday… it definitely is better if my guards aren’t up so high.

      Currently though – yeah – do not approach at all!! Lol… text if able

      Haha yeah… gonna be a long year.

      A lot of the stuff we needed from the store was sold out… still have bare shelves in areas … everyone wants same exact things 🤨 so whatever got what could. Is crazy

      Thank you out to those grocery workers ❤️

      I do feel uncomfortable in a grocery store … I am total weirdo now lol … I don’t wanna be near anyone!!

      Don’t stand so close to me 🎶 lol … I just try to stay away as much as possible

      I do still have to work (funeral home)

      But yeah … I wish there was a better way.

      Can you just imagine when someone finds a vaccine or meds? Can you imagine now coming back to life? Coming into the light again… being with everyone again!! The world will cheer… whoever discovers will be king or queen of the world for a minute!!!

  3. I get these questions so often. Comments like your too young to mope about, you need to find someone, you would be perfect for, tip your toe into the water and have fun.
    Sometimes from my side it feels like people would feel more comfortable if I was not single.
    If it happens it happens but Ive got two jobs to do. Main/key one is to give son best childhood possible, second I guess is to find myself again. Both of these are not always compatible with dating….
    Sorry waffling now.
    Look after yourself xx

    1. Yeah… well I went through alot… life kinda grabbed me by the feet there and swung me around like a rag doll…

      So I know is because of how they see?

      You know those memes that have something you are doing …and then what others “think” you are doing? Lol … makes me think of that…

      I went through everything one right on top of the other and battled that stupid cancer on top of all that… I had my very first big massive win on that final cancer surgery which I just collapsed into…

      When I came out of that… I went completely silent and disappeared … I’m not typically that way… not like this.

      I’m bubbly… smiley… friendly – disappearing and silence are not my usual MO … so was like a Big Bang and then silence

      I fell off the face of the earth with contact from everyone, moved way the F into the country, and hit a reset on my life?

      So I can understand lol … they are afraid I am sad or whatever …

      I just need silence after all that noise? And I do not have the energy to put into any kinda dating really?

      I am ok. I am readjusting?

      They just care and for the most part they respect my wishes. They just wanna make sure I’m not ? Umm well losing it? Lol – which I am not

      They just wanna see me happy. And they want me to be alive again? Lol

      I’m a little different now too – never thought world would change my spirit – which is always full of life … but has a little and I’ve kinda gone quiet? Was a lot of pressure … and I’m tired.

      And then I have a lot to learn anyway?? And I’m not the greatest with trusting anymore so yeah… I’m not ready lol ✌️

      I not in a rush – I’m kinda taking life in as it comes – and actually some really amazing things in my life literally just fall in my lap. So while I soak up peace and whatever else … things will be how they are supposed to. I will let life come.

      I waffle all the time lol … so no worries …. you made me think of this, by wording it like that …

      Be safe yourself ✌️🎶
