Time for an update. My dog's wheelchair arrived on Wednesday, from Doggone.com! She is starting to get used to it. I really hope it will give her a new lease on life. It certainly attracts a lot of attention. I used the opportunity to really flirt with one guy who was particularly enamored. I didn't quite have the guts to ask for his phone number, however! But he told me when he'd be at the dog park. Not an easy time for me to get there, but if the Universe wants it to happen...
I signed up for an improv acting class that starts later in October. It said it was a "warm, supportive atmosphere," that it helped with confidence and public appearances, and that they'd been "helping adults have fun for 20 years." Sounded good to me, and based on Rae Jean's experience, I decided to go for it. Plus I think I have a kind of unattended-to desire to perform. Maybe that's why my other two ex-LTR's were musicans, and STBXH is in public affairs -- I was getting vicarious pleasure from that. Hee hee.
Had a nice week after a rough start. A good evening sampling wine with my neighbors on Tuesday for their upcoming wedding, and on Wednesday my little cottage was graced by the presence of GBO, which was lovely. I haven't had too many people to my place so far, so I really enjoyed making some dinner and hanging out and talking in my living room.
H and I have been exchanging emails still, about the dog and other things. He was kindly concerned about me when he heard the dog was having such troubles, following all the other things I've had to deal with this year. We're supposed to get together tomorrow, although I haven't heard from him for the last few days, so I don't know if that is still happening, but my goals are to do the friendship DBing. I am trying to just accept that he is who he is and must do what he has to do, while at the same time my goal for myself is to be happy and enjoy life and accept myself as I am, too. I hope this will make for an easier, gentler, more fun way to hang out tomorrow, and that I won't be too reactive to anything he might put in my path.
Meanwhile, expecting confirmation of D any day now. I hope that is not too upsetting. I'm tired of sadness, and look forward to creating more joy in my life.
