Karma?

Of all the things my health could have been tortured with, this bloody aphasia has the worst. Writing has been my solace so many ways, but now I can barely manage to express myself logically. I'm sure the haters will love it - boylovers deserve everything they get, after all.

Eight, and news

It's my blogaversary - my first post was on 24 February 2010. So many changes, but one invariant - no boy in my life, and no realistic chance of that happening, either. Ever.
One thing is definitely going to change soon, though - I'm retiring. There's no prospect of my going back to my regular job - safety-critical, and all that - and my company has evidently no idea what to do with me instead, so, after looking into the financial permutations, I'm going to save them the problem. I was planning to retire early once K finished at uni in Summer 2019 anyway, and I've got enough money - just - to ensure my girl can finish her education, which is my obvious priority. I'm not going to be living in the lap of luxury, but I'm not going to be destitute, either, and I will, at least, be able to say that my time will be my own. After almost forty years, that's not the worst outcome I could imagine.

Daydream factory

My niece is going be to married in a couple of months time, and I was talking about some of the arrangements with my brother yesterday evening. I mentioned that I've booked a hotel for K and I for the relevant weekend, and my brother said that some of my sister-in-law's family have booked at the same place. Cue the daydream/fantasy machine. My sister-in-law's niece, who I've known for thirty-odd years, albeit not that well, will probably attend the wedding, and given her age, she's got a family of her own. And the woman's youngest son is gorgeous. The last time I saw the boy, at my nephew's engagement party about three or four years ago, was 9/10, so he'll be 13-ish now. There's no guarantee that he'll be at the event, never mind that he would be interested about me - in any sense - but, oh, if he did....
