I guess the upside to a bad day is the next day has to be better in comparison, right? and if the next day is worse, then the day before can glow as a memory of wow--what a great day that was!
Today was a bit better, thanks. I did some of The Work stuff in my head.
And got one gal pal to go to Town Meeting with me. She is actually going to ask a friend of hers if he would be willing to go with me as my "beard." (like, when a gay guy has a gal pal go with him to a family event, pretending to be a girl friend)
And then I asked a neighbor pal--whose ex-husband I have known casually for a number of years before she moved next door--took awhile to figure out the connection--to ask her X, let's call him K-if he would go with me as my beard in case the first one fell through. She laughed and called him right up. And he called me right back! Said he would be more than happy to go with me, and also said I should totally tell him when I was going snowboarding and he would go. (we always saw each other on the local ski hill)
He would be a totally great "pretend" male interest, as X has seen me and him say "hi hi hi" many times over the years at the ski area--so would have EVERY reason to think...gee, maybe Aver and K have hooked up??
So I have a plan, a small posse, one definite guy, one possible guy, and my cardio workout today was good!
