Nov. 27: Twas The Night Before... in These Foolish Things

…Thanksgiving and Mercury is in Retrograde!

You know what that means, folks?

That’s RIGHT! Your exes come out of the woodwork and ask if they can come stay with you over the weekend.

Did I tell you that I saw The Bulldog the last time I was in [previous city] for my doc appointments and such? We went to dinner and had a nice time. A really nice time, actually. Like, I feel like we’re old friends now - for the most part.

He’d messaged me a few days ago to let me know that he’s thinking about coming to visit - not necessarily to see me, but he has some other friends in town and he’s thinking about moving here (!!), but thought that maybe we could hang out a little bit and even look for places for him to maybe move.

And that’s fine, but I’d also told him about The Diary Researchers (no…he doesn’t read this diary, but I’d given him the general idea about my anonymous writings) and that they are also going to be in town this weekend and that I’d committed a lot of my weekend to be with them.

So then he asked if he could tag along with some of it, and I told him that I didn’t think that was a good idea - I wouldn’t be able to speak freely.

He asked why? Have I written about him?

And I said, “Of course I have!”

And he then continued with some strange story about the friends he has in town and how uncomfortable he was about the fact that he’d introduced the couple and that the guy doesn’t love the girl, but she thinks he does and he’s just using her for her money and on and on and ON…

So then he said, “So I don’t know if I feel so good about staying with them. Maybe I should just stay with you…”

And I asked, “You think you’re staying with me?!”

And he answered, “Well, maybe I’ll just stay with them.”

And I said, “Yeah.”

Guys! This is the same tactic he used on me years ago when we were just starting to see each other. How presumptuous of him! What a weird, manipulative story! The Bulldog hasn’t changed one bit - not that I’d expect him to, but I can see how much I HAVE GROWN and can recognize it for what it is immediately.

Now, I suppose if I wanted to get some dick, this would be the perfect opportunity.

And I DO want to get some dick!

But not the same old dick that uses junior high skills.

I better go now. I’ve got to get some rest because I have a LONG Thanksgiving journey tomorrow and it’s going to be brutal out there (both the weather and my family).

Happy Turkey Eve!
