I’m not sure what stopped my daily writing. At one point in March there was some self-imposed stress, so I stopped and when the world did not end, I kept stopping. When I decided to res-start, I thought I’d jump in with both feet and bought a URL for my blog spot which I moved to WordPress and since then, barely a sputter. I try, but the oomph just isn’t there.
I have done something, as of late, which I have rarely done before: I am watching a tv series while everyone else is watching it. The only difference is doing so, I have found, is that while others 
are talking about how “WOW!” it is, I can agree. Plus, when I watch it after the series has ended, I can binge.
In 5 days I have had 5 coffee dates. They are all very nice, but there was something *extra nicer* about the second date, which was completely unplanned. I shan’t say anything, other than…I have been checking every two minutes to see if he has written an email. For the most part, we have been in touch (barely) most days. I knowknowknowknowknow this doesn’t mean much, but it has been sooooo long since I’ve experienced heart flutters.
It isn’t that I need someone, I have discovered I am pretty damn self-sufficient and independent (maybe too independent? I’ve always arrived early so I could pay for my own coffee/tea). But I miss having a someone. I remember as I was walking to go meet Date Two, I briefly reminisced what it’s like to hold someone, smelling their neck, being held. Yeah, it’s like that.
It’s rather hard with Maggie at her dad’s – she kept all my coffee dates scheduled. Now I have to do this solo <gulp>.
