I tend to update my blog when BIG SCARY changes happen. Today's no different, lol.
Bought a house! Well, had it built... I admit it's a smaller floorplan than I hoped, but it's working. I need to get everything organized, but keep making excuses:
Getting mildly sick (ie tired, achy, no voice, but able to type - like now)
My social calendar has been a bit packed
General overwhelmed feeling
Lack of funds for more storage/furnishings
Lack of strength/stamina (thank goodness Red and Irish came over to hoist the bookcase)
Other things being higher priority
Seriously, GONNA set a timer on my phone, and pick a task. After I finish this cup of tea
Celebrated a year at my new job. I've learned so much, and have so much more to learn. Took Two to the Holiday Party (again). She had fun.. and a few drinks, and I took care to get her, and her "fuzzy teeth", home happy. She teased that if I get slack for her making a silly fool of herself... I cut her off with, "Trust me... they cool. You are perfectly fine. No embarrassment." Plus, I got to wave a Jedi lightsaber around!
Signed up for online dating. I suck at flirting. The bar scene is not me. I feel odd asking if friends have single people in their circle. I am so painfully introverted, and going extrovert exhausts me quickly. Nothing past a few emails has happened (and I paid for a year, upfront). I figure if nothing happens in that amount of time, I will have given it a shot and lost nothing but some money. I am a bit hesitant... worries about CatFishing, not having my profile get hits, getting the wrong hits... the normal stuff, lol. But am I worried about getting rejected? Not really. Not in a "I'm so confident and awesome, only an idiot would not want to be with me" kind of way; sort of a "I can't force anything, and even Mr (kinda) Right may want to walk away". But I am damn awesome. So I send a few smiles, ask a few of them questions... and wait to see where (and if) it goes anywhere.
If things work out, and next year "me" turns into "we", I'll just be awesome plus 1.
I'm looking forward to decking my place out. Few more weeks and the living room furniture arrives. I am so tempted to offer dinner if my (slightly OCD) sister comes to clean my place before they arrive.
I mostly hang out in my bedroom (the only room with a place to sit, lol).
Then thoughts of a Housewarming, settling into a life of my choosing and comfort level, adding to and evolving my happiness.
Patience... my least acute virtue.
