A year ago today I was spending the day in the hospital dealing with the thyroid storm. I am so very grateful I chose to have my thyroid removed as that prevented the cancer from growing and spreading. I am in a much better place physically now than I was a year ago.
Went into Emporia this morning to get groceries. Emporia was receiving a nice rain while I was in town but my little corner of the prairie missed it. I only have 1/2 inch in the gauge from the last couple days. Feels like there is a giant umbrella over my little corner of the prairie. The rain keeps going all around me.
My linemen get the day off. One of them is here already but I haven’t seen the other one yet. Bet they both take a nap this afternoon. I may take one too as I didn’t sleep well last night again.
I sent my match guy from CO a note last night explaining why I was upset. I ask him to take his time to respond. Sure feels like that relationship (if I can call it that) is over. Long-distance isn’t for me. I need to look in someone’s eyes to see if they are telling me the truth. He may have been honest with me but it is hard to set aside my doubts and fears and let my guard down when I haven’t met him.
A guy from KS had sent me a nice note yesterday. When I responded his profile was blocked. I found his email address from the notification I had received via my email. I sent him a note and ask if he had blocked me or if his account was turned off. He responded this morning and told me his account subscription had run out yesterday. I’m glad I took a chance and sent him a note. We have several things in common – he likes to travel, he has a Polaris Ranger he loves to take prairie rides in, and he likes to watch the sunset around a fire! All of those I enjoy! I wrote back this morning so I’ll see where this goes. At least he is only 120 miles away so the chances of meeting face to face seem very possible if we decide to do that.
Oh the world of on-line dating! It seems so foreign and cold in some ways to me. It has added a bit of spice to my life though. I keep reminding myself my job is to take a little baby step each day and let the Universe figure out the master plan. If I give up and don’t take action it makes it hard for the Universe to match me with someone – especially since I don’t get out much. I told Kathy last night that maybe I am to wait for a guest to show up and sweep me off my feet! One never knows – I think the Universe uses whatever it can to make things happen.
Nothing much I need to do today. One of my linemen replaced another light bulb in the living room for me last night. He makes it look so easy! I have another light bulb above the kitchen island I need to replace today. The light fixtures need cleaned so will probably get that task done today if nothing else.
Grateful I took a chance and reached out, grateful I found the words to express my feelings to CO, and grateful for the endless possibilities that lay ahead of me!
