The Chronicles Of Nay

Happy Thursday! I hope that everyone had a great easter weekend! I was off Friday for Good Friday and I didn’t do much of anything. I did hit up the grocery store! haha you know exciting stuff! haha I also finished a Steven King book. If you haven’t read Dreamcatcher I highly recommend! It was GOOOOD! Then this week we had our final STAAR test. The kids are going crazy right now!

Also I have figured out I am not having carpal tunnel issues but that I am having an issue with my ulnar nerve. It runs from your shoulder all the way down to your elbow and into your fingers. More specifically your pinky and ring finger. You know when you hit your “funny bone” that is your ulnar nerve that sends tingles up and down your arm. I am doing some stretches and stuff to help it. Some random guy on TikTok said that nerves take longer than muscles to recover when you upset them. So now I just wait and see how long I am willing to deal with this before I think about going to a doctor! haha but until then… I just keep doing these little stretches. So those of you in my life if you see my stretching my arm strange.. just know my fingers are tingling! Some times are worse than others!

So let me tell you about a horrible date I had years ago! This was quite a few years ago and before I start the story let me start with the brewery. So I am not sure how it works where you are but here they breweries can’t sell their beer to the public from the brewery (or at least at the time of the story this was the deal I don’t know if it has changed I haven’t been in YEARS!). So the way they get around it is that you buy a glass and then you can sample 3 of their beers. Some of them use wristbands that are marked some use tickets. I am usually good for like 1 beer than I give my other 2 tickets to whoever is with me! So the brewery we are talking about was directly to the north of down town Fort Worth. They had a cool warehouse feel there were games and couches and then some tables. Ok I think that is all the information that you need!

Ok so I met this guy online, let’s call him Justin (because that is his name!). He was in to old cars and motorcycles. He rode with a group of guys on the weekend “but not like a biker gang, but just a group of bikers” I had asked “Like wild hogs?” he didn’t find that amusing, but apparently not like Wild Hogs! On our first date he took me to dinner in down town and then we went to the Scat Lounge which is like a jazz speak easy kinda bar. It was cool. We went on a few other dates in weeks to follow. We “dated” for like 2 weeks. One of our dates I went to his house where I found out he lived with his mother. Like moved back in a couple years before and hand’t moved out. Made a little more sense how he had so much disposable income for his expensive hobbies! haha So one Friday evening me and some of my co-workers were headed to panther island brewery to hang out. When I get there he was already there sitting on one of the couches halfway through his first beer. I got my 1 beer and introduced him to the coworkers and we hung out. over the next hour and a half he finished off his other 2 and my 2. When it was time to go a few of us decided to down the street to this burger place for some food. So this guy was 5 beers in on apparently no food, he was drunk and he was a horrible drunk. He was very touchy feely, he was loud and kinda rude. At the burger place I ordered a burger and he ordered a a chili burger or hotdog or something I don’t remember exactly. I know it had chili on it. He also ordered another beer. While we were eating his meal was very messy, chili everywhere. At one point the reached over and wiped his chili hands on my burger and then was so confused when I got upset. I handed him a napkin… and he said “what is the problem it is just chili!?” I said “first of all it was on your hands! Second of all if I wanted chili on my burger I would have ordered it! and third it is all over your face too don’t you dare wipe that on my burger here is a napkin!” He finished his messiness and beer, I was finished eating when he used my burger as a napkin! When we went to leave I asked him if he wanted me to drive him back to his car, knowing full well that he was too drunk to drive but at that point I was so irritated that how he was getting home was none of my concern, or so I thought. He said “I don’t have my car. I rode with my mom to work and then walked to the brewery, I thought you would take me home.” I know I must have looked at him like 😮 with all my flabbers gahsted!

So this is where I found out that not only does he live with his mom they work in the same office and most mornings he rode to and from work with her. I know that it wasn’t my problem but I went ahead and drove him home. We got to his house and he reaches over to kiss me and very slyly says “do you want to come in? I am sure my mom is already asleep!” I was like “um no sir I do not! you are drunk enough for the both of us! and you don’t see anything wrong with you having to reassure me your mom is asleep!?” He got of the car in a huff! I drove the 45 minutes to my house irritated! Then I didn’t hear from him at all on Saturday. Like nothing not a “hey did you get home safe last night?” not “Sorry I was so drunk” not “Thanks for bringing me home!” So Sunday he texts me like if nothing. He asked how I was doing, told me he spent all day Saturday with his biker buddies, and if I wanted to get together on a certain day the following week. I told him “no thank you, I do not think I want to continue seeing you.” he was so confused. I told him “I was introduced to drunk Justin and I was not a fan of him! Just to name a few you used my meal as a napkin, you expected me just to drive you home which was about half an hour out of my way, you got upset that I didn’t want to go in the house with you.” His response was that I just needed to loosen up! I mean anyone that knows me knows for sure that there are areas where I can in fact loosen up! However, the part where a guy wiped his dirty hands on my burger is not the time for me to “loosen up!”

We stopped talking that day. I haven’t seen him or heard from him since. Like I said it was a long time ago. But this is what we are dealing with out there! I don’t think I am asking too much of someone! Like I said this was many years ago, I am much better about vetting for living arrangements! Anyway… I should go work on a paper that I have been putting off! I hope that everyone has a great evening! Stray dry my Fort Worth people!
