I've been having a weird week. I had a pretty shitty experience Monday night that upset the kids and is leaving me with a bunch of BS to take care of that I have no clue how I'm going to sort out. I'm just pissed off in general so I've been super cranky...

So imagine my excitement when I found out that the new Pokemon movie is in town for two days!! I bought tickets an embarrassing amount of time in advance! There's only a handful of showings in town and everyone who goes gets a QR card for a special Pikachu in game. Who could resist that?[DOUBLEPOST=1505964431,1505963960][/DOUBLEPOST]Doh. This was supposed to be a Minor Victory....

Slept odd on Sunday, woke up with my upper back feeling like a bad crick in it.

It's been almost a week, and it's still here. Makes patrolling a bitch, because I have to keep turning my head. Also, getting in and out of the car is a motherfucker.

Oh man, I know how that goes. I woke up monday morning and couldn't feel part of my right leg - the outer half of the thigh. At first I thought "I must have slept on it weird and it went to sleep, it'll wake up eventually" it took TWO DAYS. I must have done something to my back and compressed a nerve or something.

On vacation in southern France, with my girlfriend and my parents. Lots of fun family annoyances and all that, but fine....
Yesterday my girlfriend got a site throat that had since blossomed into a full on throat infection. :(
It's also been unseasonably cold and wet here - colder and wetter than at home.
And her sister decided to get a divorce, which she feels completely helpless about since she's stuck a thousand kilometres away. And she was the sister with the most fun husband so that's a bummer, too. I'm gonna miss him. :( all the fun stuff of his godchild asking things like "he doesn't love me anymore, does he?" Etc. Sigh.

I took my second week of my new biologic's loading doses and the good news is that I didn't get itchy this week and my skin didn't get all red.

The bad news is that it still wiped me out for most of the day :(

I feel like I've been having a lot of people stare at me recently when I use my cane. Maybe they were all along and I didn't give a crap or didn't notice. One guy actually did a head to toe twice then walked back up a hill to say hi. WTF? This was when I was walking back from getting my ticket cancelled so I am positive that I didn't look even remotely friendly. Dude waited for me to respond though.

Today it was more older people while the kids and I are out. I'm used to it while I get in and out of accessible spots, but this was everywhere. It's weirding me out.

I can feel my throat starting to get sore. That means I'm probably going to get sick. Waaaah.

Why yes, an 11-hour work day with 5 hours of meetings is exactly what I needed. Capped off by visiting the hospital and someone newly diagnosed with metastatised brain cancer.
Bah humbug.

So, that girl I mentioned in the Minor Victory thread? She offered to go for coffee this afternoon after she was done her nanny job. So I biked downtown to meet her.

THREE AND A HALF HOURS LATER, I biked home.

And...look, I've met plenty of people. I've dated girls. I've been in love. But I've never been...astonished.

She's amazing. We both admitted there was like this instant connection. She's into yoga. She meditates. She used to bike in Toronto (and looking to buy a bike here). One of her favourite movies is What Dreams May Come (she almost gasped in surprise when I mentioned it). Hell, she even said she also had a personal reason for Superman being one of her favourites. She wants to try new things and even showed an interest in reading more comics. The more I learned about her, the more I swear there was a hidden camera somewhere, waiting for the host to pop out after the punchline.

We discussed several possibilities to see each other again. Her joining me to a yoga class. She volunteered to be a "victim" to practice on for yoga instructing. I offered to drive her to Value Village and help her get some things for her new place. Or maybe going on a long bike ride on the trails around here. She even invited me to the place she goes for meditation.

She's just...wow. WOW. I've never said this about any girl before, but...I want to marry this girl.

I can hear what some of you are saying: "Holy shit, Nick, she sounds amazing and almost perfect for you! But why is this in the Whine thread?"

Because I am utterly terrified I'll fuck this up. This is Hopeless Romantic Nick in overdrive. I fully understand that I'm probably overreacting here. But I'm so insecure when it comes to dating, relationships, and anything like that that I'm terrified I'll get too overzealous and scare her away. She just got out of a relationship right before she moved and she admits she's still hurting from that. We talked about a LOT of things in those three and a half hours, including dating and relationships. I told her about my overzealousness, too. Really, we were both open about...everything. It was refreshing to meet someone who comes across as genuine and open like I like to think I am.

And I just know I'm gonna fuck this up. :(

I'm super happy you two seem to click, but you did just meet her. You don't know the real her yet, and she doesn't know the real you yet, so try to keep an even head and not rush into things. Take your time, enjoy yourself, see where it goes.

*looks at his own lack of romantic relationships*

Or propose, I obviously am not qualified to be giving advice.

Came back from being off work to a complete disaster. A little preview of what I can expect on my next long weekend in two weeks.

And so now I wonder what was the bigger mistake: going on vacation, or coming back from vacation?

From experience... coming back. It's always a mistake to come back.[DOUBLEPOST=1506397714,1506397682][/DOUBLEPOST]Oh, I still can't seem to learn that either.

@HCGLNS and I got engaged very quickly after we started dating. Why wait if you know it's right? We had our 18th wedding anniversary this past summer :) We got engaged quickly but we had a long engagement. 1998 was someone else's year lol.

I love my kids. I really do, but omfg are they ever dirty little turds. I pulled back my covers last night and there was a bowl in my bed! WTF??

I didn't think that could be topped. Then I came upstairs tonight after being out for six hours with them (specialist appointment/dinner out/hair dresser/Walmart), cleaning the kitchen, making lunches, re-baking all the baking that got ruined and trying to organize their mess of art supplies in the dining room and I go to sit on our recliner-couch and there's a damn cookie sheet with sugar cookie bits on it. I shit you not. It's staring at me. I know I have to deal with it, but I'm really sore and its been a super long day.

I'm going to echo @Ravenpoe and say get to know each other and enjoy it. The "right person" will still feel right over time.

Is there anything more depressing than finding out a relative you love and respect is a raging racist?

Don't answer that. I don't need to be more sad and angry.
