Neverrrrrrr.</p><p>Him: but what if--?</p><p>Me: I would take care of that business immediately. *Immediately.*</p><p>Him: but you're the type of person who should be a mom! I see how you are with Benson!</p><p>Me: dude, I can put Benson on a leash, lead him around, and make him poop outside. Can't do that with a toddler.</p><p>[Note: consenting grown ass men, otoh...😈]</p><p>Him: Man, you are unshakeable.</p><p>The happiest demographic in the world are single women who've never married without kids.</p><p>To be an unbothered and never locked down Crone -- yaaaaassss.</p><p><a href="https://sfba.social/tags/LadyBachelor" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>LadyBachelor</span></a> <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/IUDBlessings" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>IUDBlessings</span></a></p>
Diligence Jones<p>Him: my arthritis flare up is so bad. I really can't stand for a long time. I can come by but i'll need to not stand alot.</p><p>Me: it's a good thing shenanigans does not require alot of standing. My sciatica means I can't sit long and I walk like an orc.</p><p>Him: Also things not required by shenanigans.</p><p>Me: I do need to clean the apartment.</p><p>Him: not required by shenanigans.</p><p>Me: I've seen Boy Room on TikTok. I know the standards I need to keep. </p><p>Will your arthritis prevent you from BOOOOOOP [translate: attacking it from the rear flank, so to speak]?</p><p>Him: hmmm. I don't think so.</p><p>Me: Excellent.

Diligence Jones<p>Me: [to Bestie] We should go to Bombera for dinner. They're fantastic.</p><p>Her: Brunch!

Diligence Jones<p>While I know my fierce independence is a problematic byproduct of my childhood family dynamic, the fact I got my new giant, heavy ottoman upstairs and assembled alone makes me incredibly pleased with myself.</p><p>It is also *perfect* for me and Benson! Yay us!</p><p><a href="https://sfba.social/tags/LadyBachelor" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>LadyBachelor</span></a></p>
Diligence Jones<p>Someone on another platform asked her followers: What did you replace your ex with?</p><p>The responses make for some fascinating reading. I'm always interested in glow-up narratives, especially from women.</p><p>My answer: I replaced my X with ME.</p><p>That's my glow-up.</p><p><a href="https://sfba.social/tags/SoPo" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>SoPo</span></a> <br /><a href="https://sfba.social/tags/LadyBachelor" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>LadyBachelor</span></a> <br /><a href="https://sfba.social/tags/DecenterM3n" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>DecenterM3n</span></a><br /><a href="https://sfba.social/tags/CompHetNonsense" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>CompHetNonsense</span></a></p>

Diligence Jones<p>You can't take me anywhere.</p><p>We were having a lovely dinner at Wayfare Tavern (my new favorite place in SF because Dean knows me at the bar.)</p><p>And how did I end up having an argument with someone about voter access and the myth of voter fraud?</p><p>They bought our champagne but still. Don't try to tell me that voting should happen in person when we all know that having different ways of voting will increase the voting access.</p><p>Anyway. I politely yelled at him and we hugged later.</p><p><a href="https://sfba.social/tags/sfbayarea" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>sfbayarea</span></a> <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/sanfrancisco" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>sanfrancisco</span></a> <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/LadyBachelor" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>LadyBachelor</span></a></p>
Diligence Jones<p>Had a very cool experience with Joyfriend A last night. A night of snacks, music, low lights, headrubs and scritches, talking about the ethics of editing the human genome to alleviate human suffering (he's pro; I've got questions), some cuddling and then cooling off in the night air.<br />-----<br /><a href="https://sfba.social/tags/BensonUpdate" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>BensonUpdate</span></a> Benson Dubois is beginning to show a preference for being inside. He's more and more reluctant to come with me when I need to pop outside quickly for whatever reason. He just grumps, looks at the leash in my hand, and closes his eyes.</p><p>Heh. My plan is working. He's getting so tired of being with Mommy he wants his space. Heh.<br />-----<br />Joyfriend A: Do you want to own me?</p><p>Me: I'm <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/SoPo" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>SoPo</span></a>. Ownership is...heavy. But fostering....I could do that. Yes. You will be like my foster kitten.</p><p>Joyfriend A: [wriggling happily]</p><p><a href="https://sfba.social/tags/Shenanigans" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Shenanigans</span></a> <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/LadyBachelor" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>LadyBachelor</span></a> </p><p>Everyone wants to be on my leash. I've only got room for one. And he's a thicc boi schmoopie face.</p>
Diligence Jones<p>Chisme with a Bestie...</p><p>Me: ...did you know Q is here in the Bay?</p><p>Her: No! I thought Ross was in one of the Carolinas.</p><p>Me: No...I think they're doing a dual household thing. Hey, is Ross Black or white? I know nothing about her husband. </p><p>Her: Um...ROSS...her *employer*...</p><p>Me: LOL</p><p>Her: JFC</p><p>Me: SNORT</p><p>Her: WE'VE KNOWN HER FOR 20 YEARS...</p><p>Me: hahahaha </p><p><a href="https://sfba.social/tags/LadyBachelor" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>LadyBachelor</span></a></p>
Diligence Jones<p>Sometimes you drop the dog at daycare to have a fabulous Bestie Day in Sausalito and Richmond dorking out on the Bay Area Model; drinking good wine by the water; touching way too expensive ceramics at Heath; and being glad to be two grown ass women on our own.</p><p><a href="https://sfba.social/tags/LadyBachelor" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>LadyBachelor</span></a> <br /><a href="https://sfba.social/tags/sfbayarea" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>sfbayarea</span></a></p>

Diligence Jones<p>A slow day full of naps, snacks, Murdoch Mysteries (because I'm 80), and playing with Benson who just wants to hang out outside and eat croissants like he's a French café denizen.</p><p>After our pre-dinner walk, I was apparently taking too long chatting with a neighbor because Benson, who'd been lounging at my feet, just got up and trudged upstairs without me.</p><p>He cracks me up.</p><p>I suppose I should text one of the Heaux who's been waiting for a date...I've just been enjoying all this me-time. My own company has felt delicious.</p><p><a href="https://sfba.social/tags/BensonUpdate" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>BensonUpdate</span></a> <br /><a href="https://sfba.social/tags/GenX" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>GenX</span></a> <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/LadyBachelor" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>LadyBachelor</span></a> <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/Heauxtation" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Heauxtation</span></a></p>
Diligence Jones<p>It never fails.</p><p>Woman makes completely vanilla remark: I like gin & tonics!</p><p>Dude agrees: Me, as well!</p><p>Woman adds to convo: Limes are delicious!</p><p>Dude responds -- and then shoots his unsolicited shot: Once again I agree and how about shenanigans?!</p><p>Sir, this is a Wendy's.</p><p>Sigh.</p><p><a href="https://sfba.social/tags/LadyBachelor" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>LadyBachelor</span></a> <br /><a href="https://sfba.social/tags/Audacity" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Audacity</span></a></p>
Diligence Jones<p>So today is awesome.<br />Late to daycare.<br />Benson acted up on the train because he was muzzled and hated it.<br />Oh and he found a rotisserie chicken under a bush and we had to tussle for it.</p><p>More 💅 sacrificed.</p><p>Siiiigh.</p><p><a href="https://sfba.social/tags/Today" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Today</span></a> <br /><a href="https://sfba.social/tags/BensonUpdate" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>BensonUpdate</span></a> <br /><a href="https://sfba.social/tags/LadyBachelor" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>LadyBachelor</span></a></p>
