I’m back so soon – WTH?

I just had to share this – conversation at the gym:

P – Hi. I guess I probably should ask your name so when I tell my Sweetie about the Rockin Hot Woman I met at the gym, I can tell her what it is. I’m Patrick.

Me – Haha. Thank you. I’m Diana. You mentioned a Sweetie. Does she work out?

P – Yes. She’s here in the other room. She’s a beginner. Are you from around here?

Me – That’s a difficult question to answer at the moment. I have a home in Denver, but I’ve been traveling for the past two months. I’ll be here for a few weeks.

P – That’s interesting. Maybe we should get a drink and talk about this.

Me – Uhhhh I’m not sure Sweetie would approve.

P – It’s OK. I’ll tell her. We can be friends, right?

Me – Uh sure. Why don’t you go ask Sweetie about that first.

Two minutes later, I saw them walking out of the gym together. I guess Sweetie said ‘No’.

This seriously happened today. I’m just not surprised anymore.

I’m in Clearwater, FL for a while, and it feels good to settle in for a bit. I even stocked the kitchen! I was a little stressed out at the grocery store. Everything felt different, I was having trouble finding stuff, very pricey, and not a slice of sourdough to be found at the store OR at Costco! What’s up with this place?!

I didn’t stock the kitchen just for me – Shyla is coming tomorrow!!!!! She’ll be here until Friday, and it’s in my DNA to cook for her (that is a nod to my mother :-).

Just a quick note for you. I’m hungry and I pulled my wok out to make myself a stir fry. It’s been a while.

Tip of the day: Don’t give up. ‘They’ say that special person for you is out there somewhere, but I will be the first to agree that it seems like all the good ones are taken, emotionally unavailable, not interested, or not interesting. So, at this time, I go through this thing called Life not Alone, just by myself (nod to John – keep smiling!)
