No more emotional mess

Last night I saw Forest



It had been over a year and a half since I last saw him. We have become friends again during the intervening months. But I didn't think I could ever risk seeing him again. I was afraid that seeing him would undo all the healing I had done. I was afraid that seeing him would bring back all the old feelings I had had for him.



About a month ago Forest suggested meeting up again. I thought about it for a day or two but didn't give him a decision right away after all he might have just said it on the spur of the moment. I figured that perhas he was just feeling horny and wanted to get his leg over thinking he could get this with me. He assured me that this was not the case at all. I waited for him to ask me again a few days later before I agreed to meet up. Over the next few weeks he was texting me on and off but we didn't make any plans to actually meet until last week when it was decided that it would be either sunday or Tuesday evening. By last Friday the decision was made that I would go to his house on Tuesday evening.



I had just arrived home on Tuesday when Forest text me that his son had decided to spend the evening with him. We agreed to postpone our evening until Thursday besides I was not in the best of spirits as that was the day I was feeling really down. Wednesday I was getting more texts



hugs



cuddles



kisses



Thursday morning he text to make sure I was still ok to see him that night. I was looking forward to seeing him again but not sure how I would feel when I did. When I arrived and he greeted me with a kiss before making me a nice cup of tea then leading me into the livingroom where we sat chatting and kissing oblivious to what was going on on the tv (The Devil wears Prada).



Like me he has put on weight since I last saw him (not that I made any comment) and his hair is a little greyer than before. Other than that it was as though it had been only weeks not months. I felt very relaxed with him. To my delight although I still like him and think he is sexy I didn't feel emotional at all. I was even wondering why I had been so besotted with him before. I am sure that now we have spent one evening together there will be more but this time the

emotional mess is absent.



Much to my amusement Forest said he was suprised that I am not blonde anymore. I have never been blonde! I had been colouring my hair with various shades of red and brown which had faded leaving my hair lighter than my natual colour. You can judge for yourselves if I look blonde in this picture taken just weeks before we fell out.

mamma mia mamma

Because I looked after my mum when she had her knee op the other day she decided she wanted to give me a treat. I don't expect to be rewarded for looking after my mum. Besides all I did was collect her from the hospital take her home. Get her sausage and chips and watch TV with her, stayed over night then left her to it while I went to work.

She did give me a shock when I saw her name on my mobile as it rang at about 10.15am, I thought there was something wrong but no she rang me to tell me that there was a whale stranded in Chichester Harbour. ( I actually knew more about it than she did as I had heard it on the radio as I drove to work). I think the anaesthetic has affected her even before she got to the hospital. My mother rang me to tell me the number at the hospital to ring to make sure she was ok. The number she gave me was 07301730..... !!!!! Then when I said thats a strange number she realised that was in fact the times 0730 to 1730 that the number would be manned.

So to give me a treat (I think really it was a treat to herself that she wanted company for) we went into town I dropped her off while I found somewhere to park then found her sat on a cosy sofa. Just as I arrived we were called to join a group of others going into the darkened room. Can you imagine my mother and her walking stick climbing the stairs in the dark right the way to the back of the room where we took our seats in the middle of the back row.

As the film ran I laughed so much, I cried , I tapped my feet and wanted to sing along. I am sure you have guessed by now that the film was Mamma Mia, absolutely fantastic. I have always rated Meryl Streep as a great actress, Julie Walters was hilarious, Pierce Brosnan and Colin Firth were tres sexy. (earlier tonight I saw an advert for hair colour for men,......... I don't know why men want to colour their hair, a touch of grey is so sexy on men). So if anyone catches me singing Abba songs its all my mum's fault.
