Well, I didn't find that pause button on Saturday night but I did somehow manage to rack up 10 hours of sleep overnight. The rehabilitative effect of sleep never fails to amaze me. I opened the patio door to let in some morning air to witness three bees busily flying from flower to flower. One got caught in a web for a moment and I was just about to set out on a rescue mission when it freed itself.
It's very quiet here today. My Starbucks friend has just been over to say "hi" before she starts her shift and we discussed our respective weekends away and her new health and fitness regime. She's doing really well, she reiterated some things I told her in our last chat which was lovely as it means she listened and I must have talked some kind of sense, and she's convinced her sister to join her too, so the healthy vibe is happily spreading. She spoke about losing weight and how your features pop when you're slimmer then she complimented my eyes and lips which was lovely but she was probably talking about my eye liner and lip gloss ;)
After a quiet start, Sunday developed into a fun and thought provoking day. I had a deep and meaningful conversation with B about, well, basically being a singleton and how, at the end of the day when you close the door, you are alone. This lead again to, and reinforced my recent inclination that I need, we need, to get out there more and make lives for ourselves. Be brave and widen our circle of friends. And then... I got asked would I accompany a friend to a singles bar.
You already know that this would fill me with dread, Miss Anti-Social 1984 having to make small talk with the masses... you've got to be kidding me. I cannot think of a worse scenario. But, do I go because of the affection I feel for fellow female in same boat? Should I treat it as a joke so that I am not wracked with nervous anxiety? How could I go without you there as my wing woman to yank me away by the hand from obvious unsuitables which I can't escape from? You know how weirdos and axe murderers are inexplicably drawn to me like a magnet.
I need to get my thinking cap on because I desperately need to match make said female so that I don't have to go to said singles club!!! Feel free to make suggestions... I'm all ears.
I go to work at a new place tomorrow. Kind of like starting a new, big, and scary school. I'll be there early as usual so I probably have a good hour of my own time to get lost and found again... hopefully. Wish me luck x
