Old dog seeks new trick 7

[Vanilla]

I've been lying awake for a couple of hours and I just realised something. When I say daft lass holds me at arms length, I think she would say she is giving me space.

There, reframing in action!

Maybe become 'young pup?'

OD has a history of needing to be pushed on the GAL efforts. Are you in a rut? What's on your playlist for this week?

Don't make me throw down another double dog dare. It might involve waxing.

[Old Dog]

C'mon you guys. Give a dog a break. Last night I played some guitar with my flatmate and then removed the nail from my bike tyre and fixed that.

There ain't no way I'm doing any waxing ... unless it involves a surfboard: and i can't wait for June (ref: The Beach Boys).

I'm at work right now so I'll report back later OK?

[Old Dog]

I haven't forgotten, I've just got a stinking cold and just relaxing until it gets a bit better.

Hope you feel better soon, Old Dog. If not just so you can wow us all with your GAL plan. Can't wait!!!

Still feeling rough as a ... well, rough as dog. Colds usually only last a couple of days for me but this one is a rotten one.

And now I have a further thing to contend with. I found out that daft lass is going to the theatre tomorrow evening. She hasn't told me anything about this. I don't know who with but of course my mind has suggestions. I also found a note on the iPad from last August that says "I have thought you beautiful from the first moment we met xxxx".

I know I should shrug and let it go but it's still real hard to contend with. Especially as I've taken a day off tomorrow to be here for the kids so she can go out today and tonight for a work awards ceremony.

And I haven't made my GAL list yet either.

On a more positive note, even though I wasn't feeling quite tip top last Tuesday, my dept had an away day. In the afternnon we had some bonding exercises which included giant Jenga. I amazed everyone by punching out a block on the very bottom with my fingers without making it topple. I felt quite pleased about that. The company providing the games said they'd never seen anyone do that before. And my team won all our games, so now I have a plastic gold medal which I wore to the office yesterday. -)

As you may know, I blocked daft lass from facebook. She has now also blocked me. Well I think so, I can't can't see her page any more. On reflection, it wasn't such a good move. What do you guys think about reaching out an olive branch maybe saying.

"The other day, in a fit of self righteous indignation, I blocked you from facebook. On reflection, I realise this was a passive aggressive move, something I vow to overcome. So I would be happy to reconnect with you."
