Nun parties with Ex.

[sistawendy]

After a sugaring appointment rendered a little chaotic by a four-year-old* I took the bus to the train, and then got the Wendling to pick me up because the 50 is the most useless bus route in Seattle. And where did this epic journey take me?

To Both Ways Cafe, where Ex was having a party for her sixtieth birthday. The food was amazing, of course, because Ex made most of it, and much of it was gluten free. Ex's brother, niece, nephew, cousins, dog trainer lady, rabbi, etc. were all there. Some of them flew in from California, but I was still the best dressed person there. In a few cases it took me several minutes to remember people's names despite sobriety. They remembered mine, of course.

It was kind of trippy telling Exbrother's bi daughter, whom I've known since she was a baby, about the Wildrose. Ex's childhood friend P, who's been having some success at writing (!), tells me she's given up on dating. Mayunn, het men need to suck less, especially the ones around sixty years old.

But Ex provided me with another reason to be there: I commissioned from her a pair of red ceramic horns to the balcony on the front of the Devil Girl House. You see, the ones that I have made of red tape and wire haven't withstood the elements despite some serious coating applied. They look perfect, and I intend to install them today. I have some neoprene to use as padding, which I think will be necessary.



*The lady who does my sugaring has a young son who inherited ADHD from both of his parents. He's... a handful, and his mother doesn't really have a reliable alternative to having him with her there at the salon. I feel sorry for her. And I'm glad I wore boots there yesterday because he broke some glass.

I agree with Ex, men especially suck during mid-life. At least around here, if I see another picture of a man displaying a fish he caught while fishing, I'll cry. Most don't want to text, and it's my primary form of communicating. What's a demi woman to do? I stay home, playing games, petting cats, and embracing my social anxiety.

Ex has been dating the same guy for ten years! She got pulled into the polyamory community. It’s Ex’s pal P who’s having the problems, which is a lowdown shame.

Polyamory community is cool and very appealing to me. I kinda have a thing going in one and it works nicely. I wish I could explore it more, but Covid destroyed the meetups and they haven't bounced back.
