FINISHED for today. Still surprised how much progress I made. It wasn't deep cleaning or decluttering but feel more confident. Not sure how much time, if any, I'll have in the morning but I'll try to tidy some more of the living space then. I'm praying hard they won't have to enter the bedroom.

POST your progress if you join in

I must have been living under a rock. I knew Queen Charlotte & King George III existed. But with all the mention regarding costuming and race not being period accurate, I must have assumed the made up storylines were in the made up society.

The neighborhoods, streets and even some businesses are/were real. White's still exists. The Ton actually made up roughly 0.02% of the British population. Less than 3,000 people. I thought the dating rules represented British life from that era but, they were just Ton rules. (Is that accurate?)

What do you know about the Ton? I've been doing some quick reading but curious to hear your knowledge.

Going through a bout of diminished vitality. Happens every so many years. This time partially as a result from grieving a family member.

Gave myself a few months of rest and grace but, my body isn't recuperating. Bad joint pain, internal tiredness and the mehs and blahs. I have some sort of existing undiagnosed muscle/joint issue. Arthritis and autoimmune tests normal.

This go around also have inflamed submandibular glands.

Any advice or recommendations on getting vitality back? (Not just energy boosters) Really have to get myself together.

There used to be head hunters (Recruiters for job seekers). Where can I find the equivalent now? I'm looking for a job but the current process is flawed and exhausting. I need a professional recruiter to find me a position based on my resume.

(Side rant: if I see one more job listing with vague descriptions of what the actual day to day tasks are, or the "fast paced environment" copy paste...)

Discussion/Vent

If your life is full, what time do you have for a partner? I know many people want someone that will fit into their already established life. You've worked hard for it, I get it.

However, I'd prefer someone who has space to create a life together. And that might mean someone who doesn't have their life all figured out and in place. It doesn't have to be every day. But, someone who has time and interest to explore and develop new hobbies and traditions together. I don't just want to be the small piece that fits into someone else's life puzzle (or vice versa).

Can anyone relate?

How do you enjoy the process of dating through all the curves?

It can apply to any level of dating: They are 10 yrs older/younger than what they stated on profile. There's no chemistry. It's been a year and they're still living with their ex. You clearly saidcasual and now they're talking about wanting kids...and all the other stories we hear here.

How do you keep your emotions flexible enough to know this is part of dating, without getting jaded or stopping?
