Relationship/s
Hopalong:
You are so right.
I was losing the fear battle.
Here, today, daylight, two pooches napping and no new puddles indoors, having expressed it all both here and to poet friend...I'm breathing better.
Need to do self-calming or meditation FIRST. Before it builds.
lighter:
Yes to getting ahead of fear, ((Hops.))
Light
Hopalong:
(I need to keep that up, Lighter. It's my biggest challenge: getting ahead of fear.)
Meanwhile, today, there is no "relationship" -- just an upcoming first (perhaps a one-off, ya know) date. Fun to anticipate.
I'm about to cancel the dating site before it renews. But one guy popped up and I enjoyed what I read. Key things to me: A comment that indicates political fit (he's not conservative), identified as agnostic (a unicorn!!!) and his pix indicated a huge interest in trains (which my Dad loved). One pic of him in the cab was captioned "My office." He sounds intelligent, is living fully (traveling through states to see siblings and blues perfomances) and sounds very interesting. Not sure about any of the rest but he's emailed promptly and seems to be anticipating it too.
We're meeting late afternoon today for a glass of wine and then dinner at a little town in between. (He lives over the mountain, no big distance.)
Caveat: It's clear he's a serious cat man, and I'm genuinely allergic. Can't breathe living with a cat. Then again, amazingly, we're not at the living-together question. LOLOLOLOL!
I will of course report back. It's fun to tell y'all everything.
hugs
Hops
lighter:
Maybe have that glass of wine out of doors...... just in case the cat fur issue is more serious than ya'think.
You don't need an itchy nose and watering swollen eyes during the first chat, but lets see where this goes!
A lovely conversation over a glass or two of vino can be just that, or something more.
No expectations.
Lighter
Hopalong:
Exactly. Anticipating but not expecting...I'm holding that distinction.
I'm only meeting people for any reason only outdoors (or one-off friend visits in my home where I can create sufficient fresh air circulation and seating distance). We're meeting where there's a nice open-sided tall outdoor tent, and I ain't hugging ChooChooCatMan regardless.
:)
hugs
Hops
PS I wouldn't mind about some itchy-sneezy reaction, it's just when my "reactive airways" can slam shut. Like asthma, but without wheezing.
