After 3 dates if I don't see boyfriend potential I end things. By 2 months if I don't see long term potential I end things. Needless to say I have a significant amount of relationships that are 2 months.
Time matters. I am a very time oriented person. I am a driven planner, which means that if something isn't working I change things up. Try a different approach.
The past week or so I have been knocked off my game. No walks to the post office. No cards. And way too much feeling sorry for myself. The pain got the best of me. I curled up and had a pity party. It has also been a time of receiving. Someone out there signed me up for a trashy magazine that arrived! Cards and notes from friends. A wonderful present of a beautiful scarf and earrings. And calls and emails.
Thank you. More than you know you helped me through a tough time.
I have now been sick for 6 months. I haven't had alcohol for 5 months, sans 2 glasses on my birthday. I haven't had sugar for a month. I haven't had gluten for 3 months. Yet, looking back I would never have sugar again if it meant I could go out dancing. I would forgo bread if I could ride my bike. I would give up alcohol to work. Scratch that. Let's compromise on no alcohol during the week. Homeslice needs her red wine.
Some days I handle this disease with grace and class. Some days I don't. I guess I'll raise my water bottle to the continued daily trying. Thanks to those of you who make that trying easier.
Phew. I got worried when you said you'd give up alcohol to work. I thought you were delirious!
