Broken record
It’s been a fun and adventurous weekend so far. Haven’t gotten a lot of cleaning done, but I’ve given myself today to rest up. Tomorrow will be another work day.
I do yearn for a friend, a companion with whom to share the little stories of the day.
Going to four different stores to help find DS2 a new bicycle with his confirmation money. The funny things we said to each other.
DS1’s “review” of the Indiana Jones movie.
Watching the 2005 Lincoln Center Presents version of “Candide.” Finally seeing “Good Will Hunting”…even if it was on broadcast TV.
Watching the TV weather tracking the thunderstorms and tornadoes that crossed the north metro area.
Wanting to ride my motorcycle, but not doing it because of the weather. Trying to find the information about changing the fuel gasket because there’s a slow drip leak.
It is not that I didn’t enjoy all of that. And it’s not even that I needed, or wanted help with any of it.
But companionship. That I want.
Lately, to the point of imagining it where another part of my awareness is trying to tell me that none exists.
You know, sometimes I think I’ve never matured past a 13-year-old girl that gets unrealistic crushes based completely on fantasy or on very thin shreds of supporting evidence. All because I just want it (companionship) so badly. I’m such a dork.
It’s late. I’m going to go to bed and get up early for a walk and then maybe a motorcycle ride if the weather has cleared. Then a little cleaning and trying to get a crew together to go over to S&L’s to pick up that claw-foot bath tub. Then more cleaning and then I think DS2 and I will go to an afternoon movie. Sounds fun, right? I think so, too.

I can absolutely understand your desire for adult companionship. I hope you find it. I’m a hopeless romantic and love to play matchmaker. If only I knew some nice men where you are.

Me too! I wish I could help find someone for you to share those conversations with. I was lucky finding my guy, even though he is seven years younger than me. I’m not complaining though.

I hear you. I have tons of amazing women friends and there are boys I play with, but I haven’t found anyone I want to actually spend time with and who gets me and who’s crap I can put up with. There are tons of guys out there, I can’t believe there isn’t even one of them, who I could date.

I’m with you on the 13-year-old girl part!
I myself with I had more adult women friends to gab with.
What’s your take on online dating?
