How's everything going?
Let's catch up on what's new with Newy....
Career
Alright so I started my new gig. Yay!!! I love it. New job within my old organization. Long story short, I had accepted a new job somewhere else. I had interviewed for a job at my own organization way back in November but they were moving slow on the offer. Well, after the new job contacted them to negotiate a start date, they countered and I accepted. I love my organization but I wasn't being challenged in my last position. The work had gotten mundane because I had perfected some processes. This new position is kind of like the one I had 13 years ago...they know what they want, but not how to get there. There is no framework for it so it is challenging, but I am embracing the challenges.
Situationships and such
So let me catch y'all up on the dating scene.
Jamaican Rum - He has been calling again lately...bruh...I have left your city...so yeah..no. 😐
I mean I can tell when he has a lull in his dating realm, he starts calling again. I'm good on that. I don't go back; but we can be friends.
Hey Mr. DJ - first I treat you how I want to be treated, then I treat you how you deserve to be treated. YOU determine how you get treated. He would send those obvious cut and paste let me send this "Good morning, Beautiful" text . Finally I stopped replying. Like, "Take me out the rotation, Coach."
The others : Plumber, Music Man, HR, Pool Shark, Army, and Trucker pretty much are on the back burner. I text back or answer calls if I am in the mood to be bothered. I had a rotation, you know, of folks I was getting to know, but they don't intrigue me and I feel bored and unmotivated to get to know them.
Now there is one promising one,
Card Shark,...but we have a complicated situationship. You know dating post 50 is some bull shiggidy. What makes it so complicated is that your expectations are kind of high. Think about it, at this stage of the game, folks are accomplished. However, you still have guys that want you to have a Ph.D, nice ass, flat stomach, be a chef, porn star and a nurse, meanwhile his ass can't change a tire or a lightbulb has a receding hairline and challenged credit. One thing we have to do is realize that your body is changing, you can't catch what you did in your 20s...and if you do, they may only be trying to catch you for what you can do for them. Everyone isn't looking for love, some folks are looking for help. Remember when I told y'all I know I'm a
franchise player? Well I meant that...I do not allow anyone to treat me as a bench warmer. We don't have a label, and don't put any demands on each other. Not sure where this will go or what it will be, I just know that we have great chemistry, can talk about anything and enjoy spending time together. Not ready to meet anyone in each other's circle though.
Remember...purposeful time only.
Healthy choices
So I bought a new treadmill. I'm on it...but not as much as I could/should be. Trying to get into a groove. Eating better and trying to get back to my fighting weight (lol). Well, tell me what's up with y'all.
Thanks for Reading,
MzNewy.

Congrats on the new gig. Sounds exciting. I have to applaud you on your ability to navigate the dating scene. I have long said "eff that". It's tiring and what I was getting out of it did not match what I was putting into it. When I meet a dude that looks better than my solitude/peace then I'll consider it. Until then, I'm flying solo.
I have settled for a situationship that works for me. We enjoy each other's company. I can get my toes curled when I want and take my azz home. I don't know if I can do a "relationship" full-time in my face anymore. I like my me time. lol
