I finished my work experience as a part of my training course. Now I have a couple of assignments due in a week, and then another a week after that. I have also booked up my weekend in its entirety with an event I'm organising, so I better have the damn things done this week. I'm having trouble getting started, though. Sigh. I have done a bunch of paperwork today, and been for a decent bike ride. I've also cleared email, and feel like this is more a day to get my ducks in a row. Tonight I have choir practice. First time back in ages. I'm looking forward to seeing what the new program is, and just getting lost in the music for a bit.
I spoke to Lance this morning because due to a dodgy phone he was unavailable for our regular call last night. But today was good. I asked about his anticipated timeline for visiting. He will be going to America first. Which is also good, because we agreed that it would be no fun him being here and wanting to be there. He hasn't talked about Jen in a while, so I don't know how things are, but if he's still planning on going there's every chance he'll realise he wants to stay as soon as he lays eyes on her. And even if he does then come here, it'll be somewhere in the vicinity of 12 months away, maybe longer. That's a big bucket of cold water on my NRE. Which is good, I suppose. Better than living in a fantasy land. I've told him that he's more than welcome here, that I *want* him to be here; and he's talked about what he could do to generate income here. But, waiting is.
Mike has been distant lately, but did touch base the other night. We talked about my event this coming weekend, and he said he'll get tickets for him and his friend. He talked about wanting to support me so I keep doing events next year.
Adam went to the doctor today. Bad throat infection, so he has amoxycillin to take for a while. Poor thing has been miserable. But I'm sure he'll be on the mend now.
We've started making a couple of new friends (Miz and Manu) and went to their place yesterday for a very low key birthday thing for him. They've also just moved in together, so we got to see the house for the first time. She's done the renovation and while it's not totally complete, she's got a great eye. I would love for her to do this place eventually. I got to put my arm around her quite a lot yesterday. It was so nice. Miz and I actually had our first "date" the other week, and it was good, but I'm looking forward to spending time in a more comfy space. And clothes. I got dressed up to go out and then regretted it by the end of the night. I felt so awkward. And then yesterday Manu told me he like-liked me, too. I don't know how far things will go, especially as I'm likely to move even further away for work next year, but there are always long weekends and school holidays. No hurry. They are planning on setting up a guest room, so once that's done Adam and I will be able to stay over when heading up that way (they're about an hour north from where we live).
Finally, I've had a flurry of communication with Golf. He's recently engaged
He's said it will be at least a couple of years of engagement, and he's wanting to see some progress in her allowing him to express himself fully in his sexuality. I think he's dreaming, and she'll get her wedding day regardless. Well, unless she grasps the full extent of his kink and finds she can't live with that. But she's got a good life with him, with bright prospects for their career together so I don't see her throwing that away. Sometimes I wonder what it would have been like to be her, but I think she's probably much more suited to that life. At least I've found a career I want for the foreseeable future, and Golf and I will cheer each other on from a distance.
