Not drinking wine at night has become pretty routine, although I have to admit that I’ve replaced it with another addiction ya’ll may have noticed: reality tv and my bed. I haven’t missed the wine at all, but I’ve been fairly unproductive…kind of a sloth even. My routine has changed from coming home, walking dogs, pouring a glass of wine and sitting on the balcony all evening to coming home, walking dogs, making dinner then chillin on the couch watching tv for about an hour before moving to my bed to do more tv watching.
Not exciting. But there’s no missing of the wine, so maybe I’ve gotten over that small hurdle and can now take the next step.
I do miss Mr. D, but I’ve been doing a better job at disconnecting than I ever thought. I haven’t talked to him much this week, except to respond to his random attempts at conversation, but my responses have been more polite than conversational. In fact, I’ve done little else but respond. And slowly it’s becoming easier.
Work has been busy – I’m pretty slammed right now and haven’t talked to really anyone but Old Uncle Marv in weeks. Speaking of OUM – as much as I used to hate him I have to admit I now kinda like the guy. Since we’ve been sitting next to each other I’ve developed an understanding, respect and appreciation for him. Who ever would have thought! He’s quirky and pesters people a lot, but I think he’s learned my limits and doesn’t annoy me like he used to. Before I made it my goal to not talk to him for a whole week and succeeded a lot. Now we have conversations multiple times a day and they are generally enjoyable. Reminds me that when I let people in, even in small ways, getting to know them can be quite rewarding.
The cupcake business has been pretty slow these past couple weeks and it’s making me think a lot about marketing. But if my other big idea works out the way I hope the cupcakes surely will suffer. I don’t exactly know what the next step will be, but I’m sure I’ll figure it out.
And that’s all.
