calliope Posted December 31, 2010 Posted December 31, 2010 I'm 6500 kms away from home & MM, visiting my sis & family for the holidays. A combination of not wanting to spend Xmas moping around by myself, and also temporarily running away from my life and reality. My brother-in-law has a friend I've met a few times when visiting before. A couple days ago (sis & b-i-l were working), he was driving me to pick up the rental car & suggested we stop for coffee. We did, then went for a drive & he suggested we go shopping. I'm not a depressive sleeper or eater...I'm a shopper! We had a good time and it was a nice distraction for me. Last night he texted & asked me to go out. I didn't really want to, and he's definitely not my type, but I decided to go anyway. I enjoyed myself and am glad I went. It was nothing earth-shattering and a little boring, but I'm still glad I went. He kissed me when he drove me home, which was nice. He also wants to see me again before I go home in 3 days. There's no future here for a lot of reasons, but it was definitely a nice little ego boost for me when I'm feeling so crappy about myself....

IzzyB Posted January 1, 2011 Posted January 1, 2011 Good job Calli. Dating, whether there are butterflies or not, is a really positive step!
Chasing-Pavement Posted January 1, 2011 Posted January 1, 2011 Hi Calliope, I'm glad to hear this great "distraction" of yours I wish I have a distraction as holidays can be so hard for me--OW... Chasing-Pavement
siuys Posted January 1, 2011 Posted January 1, 2011 Hi Calli, well, why not? A good distraction at least keeps you from thinking about MM too much. I envy you now coz you haven't gone backwards whereas I have. Anyway, what's done is done. Moving along and hopefully I get back on my feet soon and MM will just stay away as agreed. Whatever. I am exhausted emotionally. Happy new year.
