KML - LOL. Not fake cancer treatments… it was for Shingles. He definitely had the illness but the treatments were bogus. I actually find it pretty easy to still talk to him. I think that is the gift of detachment and me choosing not to focus on all of the crappy things he did to me and our family. If I had chosen differently, I would definitely have a much harder time. Always choosing better not bitter…lol.
Hope - Keep moving forward and choosing better…you will get there!
So…another brief update. I finally went out with JB a second time. We played pool for a few hours and then went out for some Mexican food. I told him prior to meeting that I wasn’t interested in anything more than a friendship currently and I’m even more certain of that now. I’m a bit worried that he is hoping I will feel differently in time but I don’t think that is likely. He’s fun to hang out with but I just don’t have any romantic feelings for him. One thing that bothered me toward the end of the evening is that we started talking about the state of the pandemic in our province (cases rising) and he told me he hadn’t got a CV19 vaccine yet. And it wasn’t that he is against it, he just hasn’t bothered. “It’s on my todo list.” I just flat out told him to get his vaccine. It occurred to me to end the date right there but we were eating outdoors so it wasn’t a huge deal. Still…his attitude about it was a definite red flag for me as it tells me we are highly unlikely to be a match.
On vacation now until September 8th. No big plans but spending time with my kids this week before they return to their dad’s. Went out and bought my son some cool new clothes for him to wear to high school. He didn’t hate what I bought him so that was definitely a Christmas miracle come early. Anyway…have to be up at 5 a.m. to drive my daughter to basketball so I will sign off for now. (((HUGS))) to all. Stay safe and well everyone!
