When I left the story in newcommers C_K ( thats me) had decided to ditch fear and had decided that he could be happy going ahead in life without Mrs C_K.
C_K decided to quit doing what was not working and concentrate on improving his confidence , regaining a sense of humour , spending time with friends and Kids and doing his best to get on and enjoy life.
So a bit of an update.
Sunday was Bathurst , a big event in our household , its a touring car race held in Australia each year at Mount Ponorama near Bathurst and its about 6 hrs or so of entertaining Ford vs Holden racing. W came by and watched the last couple of hours and I had a lot of fun teasing her because she drives a holden and I drive a Ford and Ford was winning. At one stage she said its not over until the fat lady sings. When Ford won I turned to her and said , well you had better get up and sing! (luckily shes thin) The look she gave me was priceless. A little later she left giving me a kiss and saying I will see you tommorrow.
Next day I was not sure if I had offended her or not ( as I had been drinking a few beers ). I thought a little test and I sent her a message asking if she had been out for a nice meal lately. ( when we were together she had made excuses not to go ) . I actualy expected a non commital answer and was surprised when she messaged back some general chit chat and a request in the form of Dinner eh? . So we went out , I kept it informal , reasonably cheap and while she was aprehensive at first she soon relaxed when she figured I was not going to ambush her with any tough questions. So we chatted away and then dropped her home. I invited myself in and made us coffee and then told her I was real tired and wished her goodnight and left.
Not a very imaginative date but her acceptance caught me by surprise. Now I will leave things a few days I probably wont see her again until saturday.
Has this changed anything? Not at all .my path remains the same and while this is nice I don't see it changing our sitch one bit nor do I want it too.
It will be nice if we can go out from time to time , cant do any harm I think.
