More Port Wine

So I'm having some more of this port wine.  It's good.  I like just a general bottle of red better.  I now have about 5 bottles of wine waiting in the wings, so I might as well start drinking them before my next wine event.  There's bound to be a wine event eventually.

I think that's my only requirement for the next girl I date.  I hope she likes going to wine tasting, wineries, wine fests, or just drinking wine in general so we can drink wine together.

Right now... I have no one on the radar.  I have a couple of online dating conversations going, but the two I'm most interested in haven't written back today.  Then there's one that seems to respond before I even hit the send button.  I'm not SUPER interested in her, she seems nice but... I don't know.  I'm just not as interested in her as the other two.  But I keep responding because you never know right?

Isn't that how it always goes?  Want the one that does't want you.  Not super interested in the one that is interested in you.

I guess that's why it's dating... I guess the day there's a mutual love interest... that's ALL those people in relationships and married out there.  They finally, after all of the other dates, went on that one date with that one person where both of them wanted each other.

It'll happen eventually.  Just have to keep hoping.  One day there will be a mutual love interest for me where I dig her as much as she digs me and she digs me as much as I dig her.  I feel like it's super rare... But all it takes is that one person.  That's what people say at least.

So, I'm working my way through this bottle of wine.  It's a small one because it's more potent.  I like it, it's kind of sweet, but it's a red, it's infused with grape brandy and espresso beans.  It's weird.  But good.

Next up will be this sangria wine from Chaddsford winery.

Tonight I came home and tended to the cats before just kind of working on music and things.  I have two songs that are inching their way closer to the finish line.  I made dinner.  I went to the gym.  I fixed my Comcast connection, hopefully, which keeps dropping in and out.  Next step is to call them up and have a tech come text the signal on the line.  I THINK it's fixed though.

One of the unbearable parts of being a HIGHLY experienced IT professional with 10 years experience under your belt is dealing with anything tech related with people who obviously know SOOOOOO much less than you.  Then you have to basically convince them of the issue that you already know is happening.  And the fix that you already know needs to be done.

We have this all the time at work when we call Dell to get a computer component replaced on a warranty machine.  It's like.... super frustrating.  And annoying.  But you have to just be nice and kind of coax them into doing what you want.  And convincing them that you already know it's a bad board or hard drive or screen or whatever.

It's all about just saying it in the right way.  Something I've gotten pretty good at after 10 years in the computer world.  You just learn the ropes.

There's that whole, what people think they want, versus what they actually want, or need or what is actually happening.

Again, sometimes it's hard knowing WAY more than someone else, but you can't get mad or annoyed or frustrated, you just have to wait it out and be patient.

That's how I'm being with dating these days.  Just have to wait until there's that one person that clicks.

Same with this estate and trust stuff... It's like SOOOO close to being done... And the money is ALMOST available to me... But right now... I just have to wait it out.

Just have to wait for things to finally come along and not force anything.  That's kind of how life works.  When you try to force things... They never happen nicely.  When you just kind of wait and let it happen.  Things just seem to work out.

And in the mean time... There's wine!  Woo hooo... Rejoice!  Wine, and beer, and coffee, and tea for me.  And chocolate.  And working out as well.  I feel like all of those combined make the waiting time a little more bearable.
