Today offers the one thing I really can't deal with...humidity. It's only 25 degrees but 88% humidity is a killer.

Had a great time last nights six flags great adventure fright fest   saw the famous lizard man and that sword swollowing dude   Fright fest is fun

We got invited to a big haunted house thing up in New Hampshire. Can't go today, but hopefully before the season is over. Next week we'll be hitting the Ren Faire. Goofy clothing, mead, and turkey, should be a good time.

Week one of detox done.  No booze, lots of fresh fruit and veg and even bread has gone out the window.  Red meat still very much in play!

[FatherAlabaster]

Stop playing with your meat, put the poor girl out of her misery.

I won't lie, I do feel better health wise since cutting alcohol. I still miss is, but not as much as I thought I would.

One of the things I now find oddly refreshing is a cup of boiled water.  I have a cupboard overflowing with beer glasses and pitchers and I am sat here sipping hot water out of an (original) Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles mug.

Hot water, huh? That's strange. I've pretty much just been drinking water lately, other than a cup of orange juice and a cup of coffee in the morning. I haven't been immensely more active, but I have been more engaged and energetic in regular activities, and I'm sure that has helped too.

I have been struggling of late with digestion and suffered badly on our recent weekend break with excess acid.  The hot water does help digestion for me I find.

[FatherAlabaster]

I've noticed that too, I drink a lot more water when I'm not having alcohol. It's not like I'm thirsty, exactly, more just that I crave water, if that makes sense.

I think I could do with doing the same. Last week I remember going to bed one night, yet still managed to wake up in a bush.

There's a joke in there somewhere about young, virulent, male student.  I just can't get at it though!

Hedge too unruly? Undergrowth too thick? Here I thought you were a gardener...

[jfk36]

In other (rather brilliant) news, I just found out bats roost under the eaves of the building opposite my window. And I wouldn't go so far as virulent... inept maybe.

I've heard of people waking up and realizing that they explored some strange bush the night before... [emoji23]

Same here about the water. I basically live on it, together with fruit juice. And a couple of times per month alcohol in some form. It works pretty well for me. Only need to change my food consumption pattern at some point, I think.

Also, I am not really sure how to feel on my exam. I got 13 out of 20 questions right. And to pass for this course, I need to have 14 out 20 questions right, the next time. (Yes, they devided it in two parts.) So it could be worse, but I hoped I had done a bit better though.

I'd imagine Macabre meant "virile" - he's excited by both, the confusion is understandable. Bats are cute.

[jfk36]

Well, like you said yourself, it could have been worse, I'd certainly be happy with that mark. Good luck with the second section, though I'm sure you won't need it.

I seem to be turning up in a lot of photos on Facebook at the moment... I haven't a clue who half of these people are.

I actually got confused as well there. I actually thought he wrote virile.

Bumped into the first ex the other day. The one that pretty much caused my first bout of depression with the shit she put me through. It presents me with a dilemma. She seems to have changed and actually apologised for all of that. She would like us to be friends again. Do I forgive her, try to rekindle a friendship, and let go of the past?

[jfk36]

It's hard to say to be honest. In your position I wouldn't want anything to do with her, but I'm not exactly the most virtuous person around, and that sort of attitude isn't exactly a healthy one. I would say it's worth a shot, I mean you were friends once, so why not? I also find forgiving someone can be a very good way to move on, it can really help.

[RelentlessOblivion]

I was thinking along those lines but honestly what she did isn't exactly easy to forgive. There's a reason the last ex and I had to work through some pretty serious trust issues before we could start seeing each other. Six years is a long time and she does seem genuine. Then that voice pipes up saying she's burned me badly before and I shouldn't trust a word she says.

 

The dilemma is there's a small margin here. If I continue holding the grudge and she's actually not the same way as before I miss out on a possible friendship. Forgive her only to be burned again I feel like shit, try to be friends then realise I can't get past those issues and I feel like a bad person.
