Had to have it.... 3 days ago

It wasn’t the first time in my life of course! However, once again I was hit by a migraine wave. I was really sick of the whole thing which has been bugging me for at least three days now. Add to that having flown all over Europe with more to come in two days, and I was miserable. So I bit the bullet, found a nice, American-like-looking place, and I must admit that it was probably the BEST massage I have ever had in my life! I can’t believe it! I got a combination of Thai and deep tissue massage for an hour and a half. Deep tissue can be challenging, but it’s the only thing that works. After the massage, the masseur offered me Thai tea with honey and I must have drunk at least 2 liters of water!

I feel soooooooo good now! At least next week is a semi-vacation week, so that should be good.

There we go again... 2 months ago

He continues to drive me nuts, so what else is new?! I think I’ve found the greatest king coquette in the universe, or it sure feels that way! He spent again the past weekend trying to get on my nerves! And boy, can he be persistent! He has now adopted the strategy of coming to me every so much time, sometimes weeks, sometimes months, to check if I changed my mind about us, he just drives me nuts! Which makes me retaliate, get on his nerves, and the whole thing is really so counterproductive…..

The funniest thing is that about twenty years ago, I had a colleague who had been dumped by his girlfriend on account of distance. He would call her every year on the anniversary of the dumping to ask whether she had changed her mind! The answer was no every time, so he moved on. Well, to everyone’s astonishment, the ex girlfriend decides to drop by a conference when he was four or five years into a relationship with someone else, she declared her inability to live without him, and he dropped the other woman like a stone on the spot in front of everyone, got back with the ex, and they got married a month later!!!!! The funny thing is the ex lived somewhere really far in Europe, and this was a getting on each other’s nerves between two continents.

It’s not as bad as that between me and “my” guy, but really, I considered that colleague to be nuts back then and thought that such things are impossible or a sign of serious neurosis! Famous last words, right? Here I am going through exactly the same crap with this damned guy I wish had never crossed my path!! Unfortunately there is no solution for us. :( I love my work above anything else in the world, certainly more than the people mentioned in this message did theirs. I can’t just drop everything, he cannot just drop everything (there are real problems in his case, he is even less versatile than I am), and it’s a royal mess!!

Sometimes I wonder whether my feelings for him are real….or it’s just a stupid response to a challenge….. Or indeed whether his feelings for me are real….or is he just sadistic and likes to torment me? But he DOES torment himself in the process, I know him of old….. :(

Great triumph! 2 months ago

Took Aussie to the vet for his annual vaccinations. He still has 1.4 pound to go, and the vet said he’s doing really well. Unfortunately he had a reaction to the numerous vaccinations he received and threw up a couple of times. Now he’s his old self, i.e. perennially hungry…
