Old dog seeks new trick 8

[SunnyB]

I felt I was doing it for the wrong reason. Not strictly for GAL purposes but to get at her.

OD that's what I thought too. We all want you to go out and GAL but not to spite your W. So instead, what could you do that you are excited about? Or at least comfortable, if not excited.

Hi OD,

Its really good that you recognise that, so im glad you made the decision you did.

Now what RPP said.... What plans are you going to make for you?

[Old Dog]

No news on the job front yet.

GAL this weekend. I'm meeting some friends for a drink and a curry on my way through London on Sunday.

Longer term. My counsellor said I was noticeably more alive when I told her about the part of my life when I was in the music business. And I do miss it.

OK, so tell me. It's probably in a post somewhere back in time, but don't make me work for it, OD. Give me a brief rundown.

[Old Dog]

What, my life as a rock 'n' roll animal?

[Old Dog]

I forgot to post this yesterday but the daily affirmation over at Susan Jeffer's site was:

I resolve to say YES to the opportunities that come my way.

So OD - what are you going to do to recapture your rock'n roll lifestyle?? ;-)

[Old Dog]

Well, it looks like I won't be going back home this weekend after all. Here's the text I received this morning from her.

Hi again

When I asked you to reconsider, my aim was for the four of us to do something to mark the occasion.

I didn't know at that stage that you had a music festival. Nor did I know that S15 would be unwell.

My aim wasn't to get you here for you to feel upset if I went out at any point.

I will want to see OM at some point tomorrow - not necessarily the evening.

Maybe you need to think carefully about coming back, for yours and the boys' sake, if you think it's going to affect you?

How selfish can you get? It's obvious she doesn't give a flying **** about me.

I'm holding off responding until I can safely do it without abuse.

[Sotto]

Sorry OD ((((OD)))

How about responding:

Thanks for the update W. I've decided I'm going to stay down here for the weekend. Many happy returns for tomorrow. I'll keep in touch with S and see how he's doing.

Then make yourself a little plan for tomorrow x

[Old Dog]

Thanks Toots, that's certainly a lot better than my first draft which I'm afraid contained many many words that would be censored here.

I will see if any of my friends in the south east of Merrie England are around tomorrow. I will be meeting some on Sunday anyway, so that's all good.

And I will be able to go to a running shop and see about some shoes.
