I have this need to write, and then I finally get to sit down
And nothing!
So here goes, and hopefully what I need to express will flow from my fingertips.
Giggles is away at camp for 10 days. It's been so quiet in the house it's strange. Even having my mom in the house doesn't fill the ceilings and the walls with the laughter that kid does. My mom closes on her house today. The move from Albuquerque went smoothly and I'm glad to have her here.
I'm not going out with Manly anymore. Can't say that I shed tears, but it is strange being completely alone with no prospects. I'm taking a break from dating. In the back of my mind I'm thinking, "So how long do I have to go being happy with just being me before I put myself back out there?"
Manly was only here temporarily, and his job ended sooner than expected, plus he didn't want to move to Dallas permanently. I can't blame him, he lives in Colorado and LOVES it there. Plus he wanted to get some of the tougher assignments with the FAA (air traffic controller) before he retires (he's 49). So I said goodbye to my sexy, bald man. Oh boy, I miss how good he smelled and how fun he was.
I'm all over the place with what I'm writing, so if you're still here I'll ask, "Why?!!!"
Move along, I've got nothing deep to say.
...but at least I'm still Smiley Daze...that doesn't seem to be going away, and I like it.
Hope you are too.
Dear Stephanie, you are surely learning to "go with the flow." That has taken me so many, many years to go and so I'm pleased that your are learning and doing so many years earlier than I did! That bodes well for the rest of your life. Peace.
ReplyDeleteWell, this was July. So I'm not sure if it's relevant now, but the right time will find YOU. Corn ball I know, but when I met Tony neither one of us was ready for a serious relationship (he thought he was, clearly he was wrong, and I knew I wasn't.) So we stayed friends and 3 years later the right time smacked us both in the face, and we both just KNEW.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy being "alone" for as long as it lasts. Someday you may wake up craving that alone time. :)
