The Second Time Around

As some sort of karma apology today has been pretty nice! My workload wasn't overwhelming so I haven't had to chain myself to my desk to get most of it done. I even was able to help out a coworker who was sick yesterday.

Most of my calls have been pleasant and I've accomplished getting what I wanted from them. In some cases without even having to ask!

Last night a guy who I had written off called. He had gone MIA so I assumed the feeling was mutual. He gave me excuses about where he'd been and I let him talk. While it's flattering to think he's pursuing me, I'm really not all that interested in him any more.

Another man I dated briefly but broke it off with because of emerging hints of anger issues emailed me this morning. We "checked in" to see how each was doing. He hinted heavily at not having a love life. I am sorry to hear that but I'm not going to be involved with anger issues any more. I've done it, it was horrible.

The dating service got back to me and asked if that guy had called me. Nope. The lady seemed genuinely puzzled. I should be disappointed but I'm not. She mentioned that they FINALLY have a one to one match for me to meet. Okay. We'll see. She says he's a great guy, but she also said that about the one who didn't call.

I just didn't have it in me to do my workout this morning. I should feel guilty about that, but I don't. I work out an average of 5 times a week. If that slips to 4 times a week now and then I can live with it. I'd love to have that energy to do it 6 times a week, but I don't. This late in the week I tend to wind down.

I'm hoping to have a slow evening. If I get an entertaining phone call that would be nice. Tomorrow I go check in with my general doctor and see what's going on with my body. Maybe there is a reason I run out of steam before I run out of week.

How nice that you had a great day Uni. It's about time!! I'm also glad you had a call from the absentee dating service. Hope they get moving and live up to their promises. Enjoy your calm night and rest up.

woman - thanks. I agree. I was due a day like this. Now for some chill time and hopefully an uneventful day tomorrow.

wow you at least workout! i still need the motivation to do so. anyway, let us know about the date. i hope this one works! anyway for the guys, its their loss for not pursuing you...

uniquely-learning said 27 days ago ...

queenie - I think the guy problem is that once they think they "have me" they slack off on the attention. In this case though I think it just wasn't meant to be.

hey that feeling of running out of energy... you gotta get on top of your iron !!

Sounds like your work is getting easier to handle....

uniquely-learning said 26 days ago ...

lu - it might be the iron, which I am addressing, but now the doctor is telling me I have high blood pressure, which is in our family genes. I started meds for that today.

wombat said 26 days ago ...

Reading through to catch up and am sorry about the high blood pressure news. That ain't something to mess with, as you well know, I guess. But still, I'm impressed with your dedication to the workouts. Hope you have a relaxing evening with maybe a surprise here and there.

uniquely-learning said 26 days ago ...

wombie - with my family history it was really just a matter of time. I'll continue to work my exercise and diet to see if I can minimize the blood pressure thing. I had a pedicure after work tonight and it was a wonderfully relaxing way to start the weekend.

wombat said 26 days ago ...

Good for you. I should take a cue here and worry about my own, but I don't even go to the doctor for check-ups.

I don't get pedicures, either. The closest I get is scraping my feet with one side of a pair of scissors after a shower and clipping my toenails before slathering on lotion. Yea...I could have invented the PedEgg!

People will never make sense, I'm convinced of that, but I'm glad to see that you're not just settling for anything, that would be the biggest mistake. Also, hopefully you'll have more energy soon or at least find a good adjustment to what's going on. Nothing wrong with giving yourself a break now and then, and not beating yourself up over taking the break either.
