Saturday, I drove over to visit with lust-before she moved away. It was really cool to hang with her again, and to meet some of her 'crowd'. It was a calm, relaxed sort of thing, and I surprised myself by being way more comfortable than I expected around new people, and also more talkative than I typically am. We had brunch at a cool little cafe (really good food!), then walked to a couple local bars & had a few beers. Oh! and Shawarma, which was a first for me, and was fantastic! I think I was there for maybe 7 hours or so, but it didn't feel like it. Even the drive there & back seemed not as long as usual, although customs was horrible. I may have gotten the 3rd degree from Canadian customs when entering, but the return trip into the US was fucking dumb. Not the actual questioning portion, which wasn't unreasonable, but the wait in line was dumb. Seriously, I sat in line 30 minutes before even getting to talk to anyone, it was ridiculous... Still, obviously well worth the trip!
Since I hadn't the opportunity to go on Saturday, I decided to take the cycle out last night (which was my last drinking night for the next couple months, as I started my supplements today). I don't know if they have an effect this fast, but the workout went really well today; I felt great, even after bumping all my weights up by 5%.
So, a positive on a personal level, and a negative - negative 1st. In talking with PMW last night, she mentioned 'her kids'... I knew she had a son, but not more than one. This makes me a bit more hesitant, but it hasn't become a hard 'no' yet. During one of our short 'convos-in-passing' (as she was bar-tending but also waiting tables & training a few new people too), she made a comment about how every time I come in, the place seems to get busy & she should get my number to call when it's slow, to pick up business. Whether innocent or not, I saw it as a way to connect, so when I was leaving, I wrote my number on the back of my receipt & gave it to her, remarking on her 'get my number' comment. She smiled, and said that she was usually pretty busy, but I explained it was just an offer to meet up & talk, when/if she ever had some free time & left it at that. I felt pretty good about the way it went (compared to my usual over-thinking of everything), and I'm pretty much ok with whatever happens. I'm kind of approaching it from the viewpoint that she seems like a cool friend to have, and if it goes ahead from there, I can worry about that later. I honestly don't expect her to call/text (as she's mentioned how busy she is a couple of times in the past as well), but at least I put in some effort.
And now, dinner, then bed. Oh, and Misfitstray, didn't you mention being near Zwickau? Turns out I've been there & Augustusburg! There was an old motorcycle/car show at a castle on a big hill. I've got a bunch of pictures, I'll see if I can find one of the location & send it to you!
