Well, I just returned from doing four loads of laundry. When the girls stay with me the laundry task grows dramatically! I kind to like doing laundry now, my building is predominantly Asian and it is not unusual for Asian women to come to the laundry room in their pajamas.I can remember finding it somewhat strange to be sitting in the doctors office in China and find all these people there in their pj's. So laundry time is now the closest thing I have to a sex life I chatted briefly with today's pj lady just for the heck of it. I was reading an article the other day about how to meet people of the opposite sex and it basically described what I have been doing, making connections with people, whether it be in the laundry room, the elevator, the grocery store etc. I'm not looking for a R but I'm looking to feel connected with people and to do that I must reach out in ways I don't normally. It also said to introduce topics to people that they can comment on, ask their oponion on something e.g. "what cycle would you choose to dry these kinds of clothes?". So today I did the weather with pj lady, I didn't need to talk to her as I was on my way out but I went over to the window looked outside, commented on the snow, she responded (and blushed) and we chatted briefly, then I said goodbye. I do this with people now, just to connect. It's nice to feel I'm doing something right with people. It does feel a bit odd sometimes, but you gotta do what you gotta do! Practise makes perfect, right?
