(((Ginger))). Poison Ivy is bad enough but d*mn girl!!! WTF?!? Hopefully it improves sooner rather than later. I cannot imagine how uncomfortable you must be. And then having to go to work on top of it. Poor you.

RE: the guy who is now attentive and more interested. Hmmm...sure you want to write him off? Seems to me you communicated a standard and now he’s rising to meet it. Isn’t that a good thing?

I hate that you think love and connection isn’t in the cards for you. Maybe there is some relief in deciding not to want it so much but geez...aren’t you only 40? I’m 52. You have 12 whole years to go before you get to where I am. It can still happen but maybe it is more likely to when you aren’t as invested in finding it?

I know... I’m one to talk...lol. There’s a reason we tend to be better at giving advice than following it...lol. Still...I am like you in a lot of ways, I think. I don’t find enjoyment in serial dating. I want somethings with substance that I can invest in...with someone who feels the same way about me. It’s out there for you Ginger. I know it is. In the meantime...take care of yourself and I hope you feel better soon. (((HUGS)))
