all over the shop....

so as the day has worn on and i have almost run out of chores to do, and i have finally stopped....well, i'm reflecting and all over the shop is kinda the only way i can describe what's going through my head...

it's a combination of calmness and acceptance (this is very rare for me) and still sadness and a small urge to reach out to him (that will NOT be happening, even if I have to delete him, again, from my phone...)

so i'm reflecting....

not just on yesterday's events, but on the entire story with him....

funny, coz when i first met him i found NOTHING about him attractive...maybe that's one of the lessons in all of this? or maybe not!

maybe i allowed myself to be talked into it? or maybe i was able to look beneath the surface and find something i liked?

probably a bit of both to be honest....so inevitably i am now going over events, happenings, conversations, looks, things that were said, other things that weren't...

and it really should help me to know that his decisions weren't about me, but still, there is a small part of me that wonders...sure he panicked, sure he may be disappointed too, but really, timing is not that important...or is it?

maybe it is to him? maybe it is to me too - sure i've met people at the wrong time before, of course i have, but really?

fuck! and did i mention every 2nd car seems to be a black golf - really universe? really? why must you torment me with that? my heart skips a beat every time i see one....of course this is familiar territory and it will eventually pass...

it did with Chris, and so it will with FC...of course with Ben it didn't matter (one upside of not having a car)...!

as i write this it occurs me that tomorrow morning i'm going to have to see him, face him at work....hmmm not sure how i feel about that

might have been nice to have a coupla weeks where i don't have to see him, talk to him etc, but no, we are going to have to not only see each other this week, but probably have a number of work related conversations....and there is ONE very good reason not to get involved with someone at work

of course, i actually think it's unavoidable...i do! a large number of people meet their partners through work, so why should i be any different, and sure my boss would freak if she knew something had occurred (in reality, NOT much did occur...)....she would consider it inappropriate etc, but hey, i wanted to give it a shot so i took a risk...and whilst i absolutely don't regret it, turning up tomorrow ain't gonna be a walk in the park!

in a moment of what i can only read as empathy (although he is not known for this..) he tells me he can send his colleague if i'd prefer....for the discussions we have to have this week...

so sure i've gotten through most of the day without an emotion even remotely resembling last Sunday's little mirror session, but still, i'm flat, and tired, and sad, and mostly disappointed...and a small part of me, seemingly growing as i get ever tireder, wishes things could be different...

sigh................
