My Life Thus Far

Simultaneously Awesome and Awful

I kind of felt off today. Not particularly sad or upset about anything. Just... off. I think I'm coming into the beginnings of the premenstrual season. It bothers me that it bothers me. It bothers me that it affects my life emotionally and physically. I have a twinge of pain in my lower abdomen, too. It's been happening all day (and isn't uncommon for me). If I move just right (or wrong) it shoots up my side. Why do I need a weird physical reminder that I'm about to start bleeding for a week? Being a woman is simultaneously awesome and awful.

My sweet husband went to work at 5:30am, but still wanted to take me adventuring when he got home. He's so sweet. It was Snookums who suggested the location for this evening's walk. The Dungeness National Wildlife Refuge in Sequim. I'm so disappointed that we lived 15 minutes away for almost a year, and never went! It's so beautiful! We followed a short trail out to the Dungeness Spit (a 5.5 mile long sand bar jutting out into the Strait of Juan De Fuca). It is INSANELY gorgeous. The sandy beach reminded me of the beaches in California and in some spots, even Hawaii. There were some spots with almost no rocks at all. Just beautiful, soft sand. The rocks that were there were gorgeous shapes and colors, like gemstones. There were also lots of logs on the beach. I don't know how they got there, but my best guess would be the mills upstream in Port Angeles. A lot of the trees still had their roots attached, so Snookums and I hypothesized that maybe some of them came from erosion of the cliffs up by Cape Flattery. It's possible. We fully plan on going back with the kids. There's a lighthouse at the end of the trail I'm sure they'd love to see.

Facebook drama continues. I don't know why I'm having such a problem with all the men harassing me. It's epidemic, and no matter how careful I try to be, they're still slipping through the cracks. It's starting to get to the point where I just won't add men anymore. Unless I'm very, very sure they're safe. Not even if we have a ton of mutual friends. Only if I've interacted with them in one of the groups I'm in. Tonight I had a dude blow up my messenger. When I got home from our hike, I had 10 messages from him, he'd liked at least 10-12 of my profile pictures, and had left weird cryptic messages on random posts like "please talk to me!", "message me!", "I need to talk to you." So when I messaged him and asked him what he wanted, he basically went into how beautiful he thought I was. I stopped him in his tracks, because at this point he's just pissing me off. I told him I wasn't interested and he should have taken the 30 seconds needed to look at my profile and see that I'm married. Then he gets butt hurt and tells me to "chill out", then blocks me (before I could block him). What the hell is wrong with people? I'm so sick of it. He was one of the ones that I'd accepted awhile ago. None of the new friends have been a problem, because I'm selective now. I just wonder how many other crazies are laying dormant. I'm very close to not accepting anymore men, because even though I'm being careful, they're waiting to act up.

Well, it's back to work in the morning! I'm not upset about it. I've had lots of time off. And I have Thursday off. I get to see Gen! I'd better get to sleep now, or I'm going to be a zombie in the morning.
