Fuck The Pain Away

Disappointment is a funny thing. You can only feel disappointed if you’ve set yourself up for such things through beliefs and expectations. I’m fond of saying that expectations are dumb, and are the fastest route to general unhappiness.
For the most part I make a very conscious effort to avoid expectations. I realize that sometimes it happens without a lot of thought, but really, I do my best not to have them.
Last night I somehow slipped, formed an expectation in the back of my mind, and as a result was thoroughly and completely disappointed.
I don’t feel like getting into details, but lets just say a last minute get together did not go at all like I had wanted it to. This wouldn’t have been so terrible had the result not been a bit of a blow to my ego.
Other than that, the weekend was brilliant. I got to have coffee with my friend Rob, who wrote that excellent book I reviewed some months ago. We swapped stories over lattes in Starbucks, discussing writing and relationships and the party I’ve mentioned here (which he will be attending, along with his lovely girlfriend).
We eventually had to bid each other a good day, since I had other commitments. It was a lovely way to start off Sunday at any rate.
Off to Miri’s house for diner lunch and coffee, followed by relationship discussion and much venting about males and how inconvenient they often are. We snuggled some, since she was nursing a hangover and I was nursing my slighted pride. It was good to have a girls bitch session and some fairly innocent cuddling 
Around supper time I figured I’d better head home. I hadn’t slept well at all (I rarely do in unfamiliar places) and it was a long haul back to our house. Reluctantly I wished her a good evening and off I went. Thank god for Tim Horton’s and satellite radio.
Self-inflicted disappointments aside, it was a pretty alright weekend. My period is starting today, and I didn’t have ANY PMS, thanks to my regular working out and drinking lots of water. I’m going to keep on my gym schedule this week, and I have a waxing appointment on Saturday, which is always more painful around this time, but I can take it.
Blogging may be light for the next week or so. I bought paint for our house interior over the weekend, which means I will be spending a lot of my time scantily clad with a roller in my hand. I like to paint in my underwear. Perhaps I will grace you with photos.
February is almost over, which hopefully means spring is upon us. I’ve had enough of the snow. On to the nice weather!

Hi Shasta,
I’m sorry to hear about the disappointment this weekend. I know all about expectations. I’ve done that to myself quite a few times.
I am glad Feb is almost over too and spring time is close. I love the nicer weather too.
Thank you for inspiring me to join the gym. I would love to have no PMS symptoms. I think it would be great for feeling better and stronger too.
I hope you have a good week ahead…
XOXOX

Miss Shasta,
Your older posts had way more “intimate pics”. They also had more description about dates. What happened to those? A year agos post were more racy/spicy. They also got way more comments.

Anon,
Thanks for the comment. Yes, it’s true I haven’t posted a lot of sexy pics or explicit posts in some time. Honestly, I just don’t feel like doing so these days. Perhaps in the future that will change (remember I also haven’t really been dating anyone for the past year).
Also, if you’ve read here for that long you know I don’t blog for the comments
If people don’t have anything to say, I’m ok with that. I write for me.
XOXO
Shasta

peeps gotta remember too that sometimes the person Shasta is writing about don’t want a whole lot of detail written, and above all Shasta is respectful of friends and lovers.
and besides, do you really want to hear the sad details of a date’s shortcomings? - double entendre /very/ intended

To follow up on Anonymous… is that the natural progression of sex blogs? I seem to have the same issue, but then again, I wouldn’t change how my life is now to get inspiration for more racy posts.
