I must say that this week did not start out with the best of beginnings, one of my contracts that was supposed to pay before Thanksgiving did not come through last week. Although I suffered through the long weekend with a bit of a thin wallet, the transfers still had not come through on Monday. After a call or two I found out their California office had bungled the payments and by Tuesday afternoon everything was straitened out. It is nice to get paid.
Also on Monday I spent the early part of the evening with Scathach. I would not say that went well. I think she was a bit upset about plans changing for her evening. Although I think she did enjoy our BG episode, I was told 5 to 7 times that any future time with her was going to be very limited, even though her schedule was freeing up and she had even posted that she wanted to spend more time with friends. Just a confused evening and I left it feeling sad. I got the distinct impression that spending time with me was becoming more of a burden for her and she really wanted to take a break, which is funny since we have only spent 2 nights together in 2 months. I left it in her hands, she knows that I am here. I had looked forward to seeing her more and enjoying evenings of silly designers like we had last winter, but I am not so sure now. Well, what will be, will be.
So Tuesday morning I was not in the best of moods. But the day which started on a low just got better and better. As of noon, my acount went from a low number to a much more respectable number, and rather unexpectedly Joy called. We arranged for a evening together.
I met Joy in August at Zero, she was having a downer of a night but we sat and talked for an hour and connected. I saw her again about 2 weeks later and we just sort of past in the night, but I felt a good connection again. However, with my random schedule and not really knowing her, I just back burnered it with a note-to-self to talk again if we happened to run into each other again. That happened in late September, I was looking for good companionship to go to Cirque du Soleil, I had gotten 2 tickets already and Scathach could not go because of scheduling. So I asked Vivianne to come with me. Minutes later I happened to see Joy enter the bar. I decided just to ask her to come with us as well and picked up another ticket. Since then we have kept in touch, unfortunately I was gone for a large amount of October and November.
Joy came over after she got off work, we had a late dinner at my house and talked and watched a film. To tell the truth, I have not had many very open discussions about myself and my thoughts so quickly, I really felt a bit on edge because some of those areas do not sit well with some people, but there was a equal level of sharing and understanding from her. The night was filled with good discussion, fun film, and a closeness I have not had in a long time. I hope to repeat the experience.
