I'm mending nicely. Have had very little pain, most of the effects have been a lack of ability to breathe out of my nose or smell at all, and a very strange sense of just feeling "off". Wednesday and Thursday I had so much energy I didn't know what to do with myself and spent the day running around as much as possible. Friday I went back to work, which was good.
I've been pondering my life again, I've been up to my eyeballs in that lately. Buncha shaking up going on at work, now feels like the time to say something to the powers that be, to get the space I want to be in when everything settles out. The world feels full of strange possibilities now. Deciding where and how I want to be, what I want to do with my time and energy. Part of me would like to just coast right now, relax and enjoy the ride, but I'm nowhere near a place I'd really like to be right now, still. Not even sure what such a place would look like yet.
Oh plus, got a report back from coworkers who went to the conference I missed in Redmond last week - Mr. Ex's "new" girl could be mistaken for my twin. I'd forgotten about that. He's been looking for her for a very long time, I hope this is the Her he's looking for.

I doubt I will get to them all, but at least a few. (like tonight's Sonic Youth and the Thievery show on the 19th)
Here's to finding what one wants!

One of the side effects my mom suffered after her surgeries was a loss of taste, which makes sense when your sense of smell is affected. Hopefully, you'll be back to normal soon.
In the last six or eight years, I've generally found it harder and harder to "put myself out there", as far as the dating thing. I've become more of a recluse and probably a bit more introverted, which I have always been anyway. I dated a bit through the WW personals and met K there when she answered my ad in 1994. Dated a couple of people via online personals in the last 90's, but by then, was less enthusiastic about it. As much as dating coworkers can be a mistake, I haven't had any problems, because the breakups have been mutual, but on friendly terms. The problem with J is the consistent mixed signals and the fact that she's one of the sexiest, most sensual, beautiful, and engaging women I've known. Difficult to move past her when I see her everyday and haven't been able to stay mad at her about how flaky she's been.
