Dear Diary It can be a burden to have high expectations of others. But in all honesty, I don't think that my expectations are outlandish. On the weekend, Karate Kid asked me if I was free this coming Thursday to go to a Pub Choir night. A Pub Choir night is where you RSVP to … Continue reading Unreasonable Expectations? – Entry 125
Dear Diary On Friday night I didn't go to dance class...it was pretty much because I was too embarrassed to go as I had a small hickey on my neck from Karate Kid. I couldn't find a way to discreetly hide it and couldn't bear the thought to having to answers if someone felt the … Continue reading When The Cat Is Away….Entry 124
Dear Diary Here's an update on the Court situation regarding my rental bond money. I received a letter in the post from the Courts recently that advised me that the warrant for seizure and sale of my ex-landlord's boat was unsuccessful. There were two main reasons for this. The first being that despite four attempts, … Continue reading Preplanning Damage Control – Entry 123
Dear Diary I've been asking myself lately: Am I a bad person? When you're standing on the other side of the fence things aren't so black and white. Yesterday at work, I heard someone singing a song. It commanded my full attention. My heart skipped a beat and I sat silent and still, enjoying every … Continue reading The Broken Moral Compass – Entry 122
Dear Diary I'm pleased to report that I've been sleeping peacefully the past few nights since Karate Kid's visit. I was quietly hoping that things had in fact changed for the better between us. I felt like things had, but I wanted to be cautious as Rhetorical Questions - Entry 104 was only five weeks … Continue reading The Wing Men – Entry 121
Dear Diary I hardly slept the past few days. Each time I tried to fall asleep I'd keep playing over and over again in my head the night-time visitors scenarios from the weekend. I had so many unanswered questions and alternative scenarios to troubleshoot. The thought of taking up self defense classes has entered my … Continue reading Fear of Sleeping – Entry 120
Dear Diary There are ways to wake people up, and then there are ways to wake people up. Personally, I prefer being left asleep! After this weekend, I don't think I should share accommodation with strangers again. This weekend was another dance congress. It is fondly referred to as Dance Camp as you are lodged in … Continue reading Sleeping Beauty – Entry 119
Dear Diary After Karate Kid's surprise visit on Tuesday night, I pondered what he could be scheming for the date on Thursday. Surely, he wouldn't take to me a live drawing class...but he is Karate Kid after all. He hadn't been in contact with any info so I daydreamed a few options and decided that … Continue reading Kiss the Ring – Entry 118
Dear Diary In retrospect, I should have gone with the cauldron of oil option as it is designed for close range attacks. Long range defenses such as archers with fire arrows and catapults with human sculls were futile options when the enemy is literally on your doorstep. Whoever was in-charge at the lookout tower wasn't … Continue reading Troops Stand Down Until Further Instruction – Entry 117
Dear Diary I don't like receiving messages like: “Let's chat tonight. There are some things I want to discuss ”. They make me feel apprehensive. Am I not privy to the agenda beforehand so that I can at least prepare myself or can decide if my attendance is required? I much prefer meetings where attendance is optional. … Continue reading State of Emergency – Battalions at the ready – Entry 116
