Dear Diary Since Tuesday, there have been a few updates to share with you. Even though Karate Kid and I are officially dating now, I'm cautious about running into it blindly. It is early days still and you never know what might happen - he's allowed to change his mind at any time, as am … Continue reading Testing the Water – Entry 152

Dear Diary Please pardon me for the delay in reporting back to you about Tuesday night. You may recall that I was at the stage where I had thrown everything that I possibly could at Karate Kid to scare him off, even going so far as resorting to bringing out some crazy.....but he still wanted … Continue reading When There’s Nothing Left to Lose – Entry 151

Dear Diary Monday was a tough day. It was busy at work, so much so that I missed having lunch. I was also tired from an emotionally draining weekend. I was dreading having to make a decision whether or not I wanted to agree to talking with Karate Kid that night. After my shift I … Continue reading Sleep Tight, Don’t Let The Zombies Bite – Entry 150

Dear Diary The eagerly awaited day had finally come - the zombie escape game! I didn't know that I had a phobia of zombies until yesterday.

Rock understands me. Anyway, I've had my phone off for a couple of days now. … Continue reading Inaugural Anastasia Says ‘No’ Day – Entry 147

Dear Diary I must apologise for forgetting to report back about the date with Mr Lady's Man! It was meant to be included in entry 144 but I forgot, sorry. The date was like any usual date. I arrived on time to the venue and found a couch to sit on and wait for him … Continue reading A Moment For The Forgotten – Entry 146

Dear Diary Today I made a decision. I chose me. There comes a time when we have to accept that we cannot make someone love us.

Dear Diary Last Sunday, some well-meaning friends each asked me varied forms of the same question. Each time I struggled to answer their question with certainty. The question was: are you and Karate Kid official now? I'd activated Operation Armageddon but it fell flat on it's face after step 2 of 7 as I didn't … Continue reading Umbrellas For Sale – It’s Raining Men – Entry 143

Dear Diary Let's catch up on everything that's happened since Monday.

You have gone really quiet, what's wrong 😦 "  I replied with: "Hello Dance Teacher. Thank … Continue reading Practicing My Juggling – Entry 144
