Ginger - Yes...Croatia!! Three weeks in September and one of those weeks sailing around the islands on the Adriatic in a 45-foot Catamaran with just the five of us and a skipper. We’ll be the crew. I cannot wait. The yacht is brand new and beautiful!!! Surprisingly it is cheaper than if we had all purchased tickets on a local cruise ship. All we have to do is make our own meals and feed the skipper. We’ll be sailing from Dubrovnik to Split and stopping at various islands to check out the sights. Only my BIL and I know about the cruise. It is our gift to my sister and the other couple for their 25th wedding anniversaries. A “bit”more than I usually spend on gifts but you only live once and it is the chance of a lifetime. So looking forward to it!!! Re: Brook. He is clearly going through something right now. If he wants to get in touch with me at a later date and explain himself, I will be open to hearing him out. But for now I am letting him go. Same with Jack. He’s really struggling and going between wanting to be friends and then being hurt and then being angry and then loving me... such is the nature of the break up, I suppose. Certainly I can relate.
Sigh...is it too much to ask to meet one normal guy who doesn’t have “issues”??? Someone like Brook minus the drama with the ex and the friends? I think what bothers me most is just how much we had in common and how easy it was to talk to him...both via text and in person. He really would have been a great fit if only he had been another six months past his divorce. But like he said many times... everything at the perfect time, if it is meant to be, it will be. So...moving on... maybe we will run into each other a year down the road...I guess fate will decide. Not gonna take his silence personally... I know I did nothing wrong and this is all about him. It would be nice to have a new friend but I think his silence indicates he wasn’t thinking of me in that way even though we did talk about it.
DnJ - Thanks for the advice. It was very helpful. I’ve been feeling increasingly confident over time as I’ve been reviewing everything. I also have heard that the list of interviewees is quite short so I just have to do better than the other people and I have a pretty good track record when it comes to interviews. I think in my lifetime, I’ve only not gotten the job twice and both of those times were because I wasn’t sufficiently prepared and didn’t know what the interview would look like which will not be the case with this one.
