Quick journal: I am having a really good week! I like my new office and have met a few new people there, it's good to have people to talk to there at last. I've also been very productive there, having background noise is helpful in helping me focus. I've decided 2 days a week in the office will be my new routine.
I have also been making some efforts to meet new people outside the office. I just signed up for a 'make new friends' event on Friday evening, which is JUST what I need right now. New people, new ideas, new conversations. Really looking forward to it. I was on stage at a work event on Tuesday night and it went really well, I was introducing speakers and generally making the event go well and making people laugh and I really, really enjoyed up there being a bit of a showoff. It reminded me that I'm intelligent, articulate, warm, funny and likeable and people responding to that is a definite ego boost. Makes me think my new career direction next year needs to involve a lot more people stuff, because I'm good at it!
Went to the theatre with ds2 last night, we found a rooftop bar hidden away and had a drink there. The barman was SUPER flirtatious. I'm sure he's like that with every woman buying a drink but my, I do love to be flirted with and enjoy flirting back. Then we met H for a quick meal which was ok. I was sitting next to him and his phone dinged and he looked at it and laughed and went to share something but stopped himself. I looked over and saw he had Whatsapp on his phone. So much for him needing his other phone for Whatsapp then hey? Unless he has a whole other Whatsapp account on his other phone (along with a camera NOT linked to our joint icloud). Seeing that made me want to get away from him TBH. Whether he's having an A or not, Yorkie is so right that he's being deceitful. I actually feel pretty detached right now, more so than I have before. And even more determined to make a life which is fun and full without him. Two different men on two different tables were definitely checking me out at the restaurant, why am I hanging out for someone who doesn't want me? Not that I'm planning to run off into the arms of another man, but just knowing I'm attractive enough to have some nice looking men eye me up is good to remind myself
H texted me this morning asking how the play was and wishing me luck with my new car. I said it was great and wished him a good flight. Now going dark until he gets back, going to be ultra busy GAL. I feel like this is a real turnaround point for me, I feel much more detached than I ever have before, and am valuing myself more and looking forward to new experiences. This might even be Dilly 3.0
