I'm home. My day started at 8:00 and hasn't really stopped since. And it didn't help that I didn't get to bed til nearly 3:00.
A good thing happened, though...our flight out of Louisville was overbooked, so I volunteered to be re-routed--a gesture for which I was given a free round trip ticket to anywhere in the continental U.S. or Canada! Woohoo! That could come in especially handy since I met someone in Chicago and would love to go back to visit, should this person want me to do so.
This person and I went out on a date (!!) while I was away and now I am totally smitten. I'm afraid, though, that in my eagerness to finally have someone's affections that I may have scared this person away, and the thought of that completely destroys me. Never mind the fact that this person lives in a different state--the idea that this person may never call me again is what depresses me most. And all because I pushed too hard. Of course, I could be completely wrong and things may be fine. All I know is, I'm completely mixed up right now--I can't eat, I can't sleep, I can't concentrate on anything without thinking of this person that I've only known for a week. I'm totally consumed and I haven't the foggiest idea why. Perhaps I'm spilling my guts too much to you guys, but I have to get it out or I'll bust. I went to the gym to try to work off some of this anxiety and frustration and it seemed to help for a bit. I guess only time will reveal what will happen, and if nothing happens, then I guess time will have to heal everything. Oh! A Jerry Herman reference...
I hate to admit it, but I forgot to get the recipes from my mom. I was so busy this past week that I had NO time to even look for them. I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
And if anyone has any suggestions on how to forget someone, please let me know...
