Hello Journal Friends

Sorry I haven't posted in a few days. It has been really stressful at work, and nasty rumors going around for the past few months about closing us down.  Well, yesterday was "D" day, and we were to find out about the status of everything. I have been on pin & needles all week, and wound up tight and it didn't help that they had drag it all out, rumors flying everywhere about this and that...crazy to say the least. Anyway, our boss comes in and ok's us for the next 3 years, but we have to stay on a 40hr a wk work week for him to justify keeping us open. Long story short, I still have my job...thank god for that, and I still have somewhat of my sanity left (unfortunate for some I guess haha)

So, about the "DATE"  it was a week ago today. For the most part it went pretty good, he had his son(which I had met before, but wasn't expecting) but that ok...his son is a good kid...lots of energy though. I just didn't feel any connection, you know....that "spark" I felt that he was too distracted, and spent a lot of time on his cell phone, which bothered me. So, there probably wont be another one. Just dont feel like wasting my time on something that wont work. If, I would have felt that connection, maybe. Anyway, there is this guy that I have been talking to for about 6 months, that is overseas, that is going to be in town the first part of Sept. He is a little bit younger than me, not that that matters. If anything he is a great friend, and I hope that continues even if there isn't a "spark"  and I am going to try to just let whatever happens happen. Sometimes I tend to try and force things, and I think that has been my mistake in the past. So, this time, no expectations other than just having a good time, and enjoying each others' company.  Think it will happen?

Nothing else has been going on too much in the love life dept, otherwise. I have been getting some information on starting a non-profit youth mentoring organization. I was involved with one, and something happened, that I wasn't too happy with and there isn't really one in my area that has the vision that should have been the main focus of this other group, so the only other choice is to start one. Think good thoughts about it, and hopefully something good will come out of it.

Well, that is all I have for now....Thanks for all the tags!! And I hope everyone is doing great!

Have a great weekend and be safe
