I talked a lot of big talk yesterday about cutting loose the man-child who was driving me crazy.
I gave in.
There are just too many things that haven’t worked out for me lately, and there are a few more looming on the horizon, and I just can’t quit him right now. I decided to reframe the situation. This isn’t a long-term situation. But he’s great for right now. He sends me little texts all day long. He can be kind of mushy, sweet and affectionate. He is funny and smart. He is the single best kisser, ever. These are wonderful things, and I make myself crazy when I try to make this something that it’s not. It’s hard for me to be casual and easy about these things. But, again, I need to lighten up.
I took my first run in a couple weeks today. The recent spate of bitter cold has abated somewhat; right now it is a balmy 25 degrees. I’m only partially joking. It does feel balmy after sub-zero wind chill, and 25 degrees is wonderful running weather. It felt great.
Still no word on the job I felt I had surely nailed. I could still be in the running, as it did take them three weeks to get me in for an interview, but that was due to holiday schedules. I’m trying not to get too bummed out about it and keep moving forward.
