"Oops! I was just thinking outloud!" LOL!
I've had lots of time on my hands. I'd rather be attending classes, but the school is doing the winter vacation thing and won't kick back in until after January 1, 2014. My Lincoln Town Car (1998, I paid $3500 for it. It had only 109k miles on it. Insurance cost me $50 monthly.) is NOT a fuel saver, so I've been staying home as much as I can stand it (I think that car is doing me a big favor! Besides, it's comfortable to drive). I've even taken a break from Gym therapy (I'll kick that back in and condition myself before we reach the spring season). Exchanging ideas, comments, and questions with people online has helped to provide a little something to do besides cooking and chores.
I don't flirt with people these days, and I try to avoid fanning flames of flirting remarks made (in good faith I presume) towards me, because I'm not able to support courtship and romance while I'm attending school classes. I must (and want to) stay focused and perform well.
Will I meet (or have I met and don't know it) a potential mate while I'm attending school? Who knows? Is finding a mate-for-life in the cards for me? I don't know! I enjoy dreaming about it though!
I'll be near 57 years old when I finish my classes and can complete the exams for my Cosmetology license. At least I'll have the license! Hopefully, I can make some money. I might have to find other employment too -- substitute teaching, factory worker, department store associate, etc. Hopefully, I'll be able to continue renting from my parents.
I returned to Habersham County, Georgia to be with my parents. Mom wrote me a letter asking me to "come home" (from South Korea). Don't misunderstand me. I'm not blaming mom for anything. I'm simply acknowledging that we're mortal beings, and I want to enjoy our time together as much as possible. Who knows that I won't finish my life before either of them does? While contemplating my return, I decided that earning a license at the technical college nearby could be a good use of time and money while I'm settling back into the area.
What are the chances in Habersham County, Georgia, during this time of my life, of me crossing the path of the man who would be my mate and with whom I'd live happily ever after? As far as I can tell, God will have to put it together. Really, if God doesn't put it together, I don't want it. I've enjoyed romantic relationships with three men in the past. Each, I believed, was to be the "until death do us part" romantic venture. I've traveled a lot and have lived in many places in the USA. I've earned a couple of bachelor degrees, have worked in several industries. I (because it was the only proper / acceptable things to do according to everyone I knew) even married a woman (so that I could cure my homosexuality). We ended that offically in 1989. Yea, I paid a LOT of child support. I was perfectly fine with supporting the children, but the "ex" and I were very much at odds about stuff. I started a Youtube channel hoping my children would find it and make contact with me. They did! My daughter is now grown with three children. My son (who I've always wanted to have a heterosexual father who wanted children), also grown, has been adopted into the second marriage of the "ex." I would call all that a rich life. Has it been prepping me for now? for life in Habersham County, Georgia? I don't know! "O' Lord, what's going on?"
Still, I find some consolation in socializing as best as I can. Internet helps with that, but, as I said, I'm not able to support -- emotionally, financially, physically, spiritually, intellectually -- courtship and romance these days, so I should not flirt and fan flames of flirting remarks made (whether made in good faith or not) towards me -- and I'm okay with all that. I have to be!
And still, I can enjoy my dreams!
