I have a totally new attitude today to the online romance i had in July: i'm happy that it happened! It WAS pretty terrific after all. It WAS intensely pleasurable. I am a pretty old lady (55) to be getting some romance. I'm going to stop being sad that it didn't last and that i ruined it and just be happy that it happened at all. It really made my year this year, definitely the high point.
A wave of rage washed over me the day before yesterday when the Christmas decorations were put up in the building. Christmas is such a difficult time for me, being alone and it doesn't help that each time i enter or exit the building i'm overwhelmed with reminders of the holidays.
I somewhat don't think it's really proper anyways as Christmas is a holiday belonging to only one culture and with our increasingly multi-cultural building it's not really sensitive. I certainly don't want MY condo fees going to fund a practice i don't support.
I wrote an email to that effect to our property manager but i didn't send it. I'm glad i didn't as i saw my neighbors for our coffee social yesterday and they were thrilled with the decorations and all my anger passed.
I'll probably get waves of rage as the month progresses but hopefully this was the worst of it. The anticipatory anxiety is always worse than the actual event for me, so the day will arrive and i will spend it quietly with my dog, happy to be avoiding all the family squabbles.
@Nammu:
Thanks for the info on the online glasses. I'm tired of getting ripped-off at the bricks-and-mortar optician. I don't have a medical plan so i foot the whole bill myself and i need two pairs so i've been paying a fortune to those heartless b@st@rds. I think fun frames are great, too. I have horn-rimmed chunky black plastic frames with sparkles on the corners! They are so distinctive an old friend recognized me in the mall the other day just from my glasses, despite my mask!
