Wake Up Call

We had a scare yesterday. One of the cyclists, Santi, fell on the curve at bicitenario. I don't like that training session very much and all I have to say is thank goodness I was in the back, far back. Regardless, he was ok. After an hour of waiting for the fire truck we went home with Fer. I got lucky. He is ok too, no breaks. So lucky. I chatted with Felipe after that and he said that this would have been dangerous if it were me with my osteopenia. It was a trigger. He also said that we have to try to be active for as long s we can. Double trigger. I know he didn't meant it, but it made me anxious. What if something like that happens? Well, I would be ok. I would recover. I would find some other sport. I have to remind myself of that. I would be ok. I wrote to my gyno and she will order a DEXA, and then I really have to buckle down on calcium and vitamin D supplements and weight training. I can do this. Maybe consider HRT. But, at least I will know where I stand and we can go from there. I will also start earring greek yogurt in the mornings. That's important. More dairy. Anyways, I needed this wake up call I think. Now let's just cross our fingers that I am getting better, not worse. 

As for Sergio, there he is. Still writing. Ot's getting old again. I might take a break today from writing and see what happens. I need to protect myself. I talked to Justin yesterday and am realizing how much I like him again. Maybe he is my person after all. I will keep dating, but he really knows me. He loves me. He accepts me. I am not sure if I need to keep looking anymore. 

I'm grateful for..

- Justin

- Meeting new poeple

- Being ok after yesterday's accident

- Getting DEXA scan again 

- Getting lab tests 

- My health physically, mentally, and emotionally

Keep Connecting

I had coffee with Fer yesterday. It was nice to catch up. She and I can relate to each other. Even when I mentioned that I liked it when men were mean because it was familiar, she got it. Justin also called and I chatted with him. I don't have feelings or that sense of attachment like before, though. That's a good thing. Just a friend. It helps to have other distractions. For example, friends, cycling, and now dating. I am going to meet JC today. So curious to what his real name is. I hope it goes well, but my expectations are low, I don't know why. Maybe because I feel like that protects me from rejection. It stings, but then I'm fine. So, I need to keep putting myself out there. Keep moving. Keep connecting.  I'm grateful for... - family - friends - my health physically, emotionally, and mentally  - feeling ok during recovery from the ride

This Too Shall Pass

Sergio asked me what I expect from him. It's a vulnerable question, but maybe more vulnerable for me that has to answer it. The truth is I don't expect anything from him. He's there, I'm here. He lives in Medellin. If we don't. turn into anything I would still be content. Because we had a beautiful connection. So, if it turns into something great. It would be work, though. If it doesn't, that's great too. I don't think he's expecting that. I am not sure what he expects from me. Sex, just support on his ride, a relationship. I don't know if it is worth asking him, or if after my question it would sway him. Maybe leave it as is and he can answer that if he wants without be asking. It has been fun though, I like the connection. The constant communication. The adventurous spirit. But, this too shall pass. Just like I told him that is what I would say to my future self If I had the chance earlier. This too shall pass, even the good things. So don'...

Chapter 1 - Estas Gordita

I was nine. The memory is sharp, unforgiving, like it branded itself into my bones. He whistled the way he always did when they were awake—our signal. It   meant it was safe. It meant we were wanted. It meant we could run down the hall and leap into their bed, laughter first, feet cold against the floor. Of course I took the spot next to him. I always did and I was faster than my sisters. And there it was, he caught my arm. His hand closed around me, firm enough to anchor the moment forever. Estás gordita. The words were small. Casual. Almost affectionate. They shattered me anyway. Something dark slipped into my bloodstream in that instant, quiet and lethal. I learned the rule without being taught: love had to be earned. Approval was conditional. My body was already failing some invisible test. I didn’t yet understand what food had to do with any of it. I just knew something about me was suddenly wrong. And even though I couldn’t name it then, that lesson stayed. It waited. And yea...
