Just a quick update to report an unexpected twist in the road. And to confirm to everyone that you never do know what's around the corner...
Couple of days before Xmas, I got an email from someone I knew in high school. He'd recently met up with my old high school BF who'd been visiting our town from his new home in Peru. Old BF mentioned that he'd caught up with me and the two spoke about what i'm doing now.
Apparently I sounded interesting enough for the other guy to contact me to say hi.
Now this was a guy who I always adored from afar but thought was out of my league.
My heart skipped a beat when I saw his name in my inbox - after 40 years!
He has been separated for 3 years (after 30 y marriage) and has 3 kids similar ages to mine. I've seen his photo and he still looks as handsome - sorta George Clooney-ish to my eyes.
We are meeting up day after tomorrow for a stroll around the botanic gardens - and he wants to go for dinner after that.
Who would have thunk it? He's almost falling over trying to get me to meet him - makes me a little suspicious (actually, given my recent experience, a lot suspicious) but also made me realise that I have a lot to offer.
Now if i only had time to get a face lift and my teeth whitened...
