Celebrations and Tribulations
|
Celebrations and Tribulations It's been an interesting week. Interesting in a sense that one day you can be celebrating a birthday and the next day you can be sitting in a room at an urgent care facility. For those not "in the know" I turned 45 on Tuesday. I have some very good friends whom I used to work with that threw me a surprise birthday dinner at an Italian restaurant Sunday night. After dinner I attended a Cult concert with Julie and her boyfriend. So far so good, right? Monday afternoon a family that I work with unexpectedly busted out singing "Happy Birthday" to me during a family session. Totally had me in tears. Happy tears, that is. On my actual birthday, my work colleagues surprised me with cards, flowers and an amazing strawberry cake. That evening I accepted a dinner invitation with a guy that I have been slowly getting to know. I say slowly because he has made it crystal clear that sex is not on the agenda for awhile. It's not his thing to jump into bed without establishing a connection. Dinner was good and we wanted to continue the conversation over a glass of wine and cake so we opted to go to my place. He selected a black cherry pinot noir I had purchased but had never personally sampled to go with our dessert. We enjoyed the wine and conversation until it started getting late and forced myself to say goodbye which he gave me a HUG. Yes, you heard that right. Not even a birthday kiss. Le sigh. The following morning I was showering and noticed an itchy raised bump on my neck. It resembled a mosquito bite but as the day wore on I began to see more of them popping up in various locations on my body. My colleague asked me what I had gotten into and it was then I recalled drinking the black cherry wine the night prior. I guessed that I was having an allergic reaction and began self treatment with OTC oral and topical benedryl. Nothing seemed to help. The hives continued their assault on my body. I finally relented and went to urgent care yesterday. The nurse practitioner chastised me for not coming in sooner. But I am stubborn like that. She gave me a liquid steroid medication while there in the office that nearly made me puke and said it would help with the itching- yay! I can finally get some sleep! She sent me home with an oral and topical steroid regimen. I wonder if getting hives was an omen about seeing that guy again. In any event, I am slowly getting back to normal. Tonight I am accompanying 5 girlfriends for a night out at a Dueling Piano Bar in Wichita. If you are in the Wichita area you should drop by the bar and say hi. Have a wonderful weekend. Xoxo, myelin |

there's slow... and then there's a birthday hug. Uh..... no. I think you've been friendzoned. Happy Belated Birthday and you are gonna LOVE LOVE LOVE the dueling piano bar if it's anything like the one that Kitkat and I went to in San Diego... I've never laughed/sang so hard! Prepare to be hoarse the next day.

Happy belated B-day! The celebrations sound like fun was had by all. Sort of scary about the allergic reaction to the wine. Thank goodness it didn't escalate beyond hives. Pagan  Hmmmm....I know I left that wand around here somewhere!

Happy Birthday. I wouldn't be to worried about the hug and taking it slow unless it is for some other reason than just not rushing in. Vive La Difference

Happy belated Birthday sweet, sexy Myelin! So sorry you had that allergy issue with good wine! DAMN!!! Lmao! Also sorry it was just a hug. Guess he was REALLY trying to be nice and live up to his word. Heaven knows kissing you after a fun evening together would definitely make me wish for more! Lol! Maybe he didn't want to take a similar chance! Have fun at the piano bar! Tip them to play my favorite love song from a different perspective; Why don't we get drunk and screw!!!!  Always a crowd pleaser! At least late in the night! Lmao! Hugs

Everyone has their own style. There's noting inherently wrong with a hug from his end, as long as you were pleased with it on your end. If you were not pleased then perhaps the two of you are incompatible. My featured post this week: Pulling Fantasy Sex Out of My Ass.

Sounds like a nice birthday celebration all in all! Talk about a delayed allergic reaction. Have a great girls' night out.

Belated happy birthday! I'm a big proponent of the birthday month, especially when one is living a full life with many difference phases (and groups of friends). Hope your birthday month is continuing to go well. Cherry wine sounds risky to me... and yes, bump-raising, too. Hope that particular itch has subsided, or at least been replaced by another, more pleasurable one... Now let's see... you're a Cult fan AND an Aries... does that make you a Fire Woman? Stop in, read, and offer comments at my "swinging as seen in the media" blog, "Confessions of a Lifestyle Man" humorlife, which is also the home of the monthly virtual symposium.
