Thanks, but no thanks.

Thanksgiving week was busy. So busy that I gladly agreed to run away for the weekend.
I started school for a medical secretary certificate this week. What a weird time to start. I'm taking Medical Terminology, Computer Concepts, and Customer Service 101. I don't get a choice in what I take, but so far I like it. I cooked for thanksgiving this year. I made pumpkin pie, yams and stuffing for the first time. I usually buy pies and stuffing pre-made. Everything came out good. The turkey, yams & pie supplies actually came from Samanthas school. She won the 7th grade girls Turkey Trot. The prize included supplies for a turkey dinner.
I don't do the shopping on black friday or anything. I hate the weekend after Thanksgiving. I normally hide in my home. But this weekend I am being taken away to somewhere cold. I have no idea what is in store for me.

Just for now...

Quick Hello before i head out again.

1. I start school on Monday WOOHOO!
2. My daughter won something called the Turkey Trot at school.
3. I scratched a mole on my face and now it looks infected so, my face looks scary.
4. I forgot to wash off my make up and I looked like a crying psycho ex-girlfriend when i got out of the shower.
5. Anxiety attacks are back. May have to be medicated again.
6. Thanksgiving is at my house this year. I dont have enough chairs or tables. Oh well!
7. My next door neighbors are moving out today. Which means by Christmas I will have new neighbors and I have no idea what I'll get. YAY?!


I'll have a proper blog later today. I have to go pick up the Turkey Trot prize for my daughter.  Then its off to bowling. I have all these half started blogs, i need to finish them all. Time to run. I'll explain the above crap later.

Retreating into my shell.

I had been working on blogs to post this past week. I even posted on Facebook that they would be up before and on Halloween. Well, that didn't happen. Tuesday the 30th I had a horrible migraine. I just barely functioned through the day. I kept the house dark with only the computer screen and stove light on. I had a hard time sleeping that night, and by the time I fell deep asleep it had to be around 6:30 am.
I woke up around 10am Halloween, and supposedly missed out on some excitement in the neighborhood. I cannot go into detail, but it is very serious. This is only a small part of the situation. More crazy things happened since that "excitement" and I had to call Police for help. I am okay and the other people involved are also okay. It was a scary situation, but things will get better.  Though I am proud to be open about my life. This blog and my social networking sites may be the excuse used to discredit me. But, go ahead, I am an adult and I can do what I like as long as I am not hurting anyone or doing anything illegal. I am voicing my opinion and sharing my life with the world. I am mentally preparing myself for the possibilities of what may come. I am tracing my steps online and doing searches on myself. I will not delete anything because that will make it seem as if I have something to hide. Which I do not. I have a feeling the situation will get very ugly before things get better. So I am trying to prepare myself the best I can emotionally for possible future whatever. Hopefully this situation does not actually involve me and I can easily move on.

This incident has brought me to a place that I do not like. I am becoming fearful again and even a little paranoid. I don't know who I can trust. I am now wondering if I should become more private. I can keep blogging and doing social networking, but I will refrain from discussing many topics and not really being myself.  I may just refrain from using any social networking for a while. Being open on just about everything and anything can make you a target. A target for judgement, bullying, and harrassment. There is a reason why you don't give out to much info about yourself. Though I dont give out my address and other private information, I do let people know my opinions and what kind of lifestyle I lead. I'm not sure yet if my online behavior has made this situation worse. I wish i could just openly tell you what has been going on, but at this moment i am not sure I can give you more than i already have.
 A part of me wants to return to that protective crab shell and be forgotten. Then a part of me whats to keep being my crazy self and not worrying about it. If I hide away, doesn't that mean they win? I don't want them to win anything. So what do I do? Hide away,  keep being open, or find some kind of middle ground? Is there a middle ground? I really don't know at this time. I have so many thoughts running through my head. I can't think straight right now. So for now I will keep to myself and hide away in my shell. I'll try to find other things to blog about to keep my mind off the situaton.

In The Absence of Sex

Two years ago I attempted to explore a variety of dating and sexual encounters. It fizzled out quickly.  I was bored or unimpressed with the...
