While the cat's away... (aka my milkshake part deux)

I don't even check the email address for this much anymore. But the blog is staying open, as writing is what seems to help me process things the best.

This weekend has been confusing, fun, heartwarming, gutwrenching, relaxed, all at the same time. A Hollywood blockbuster in one normal Springtime weekend.

The parentals were away from Friday lunchtime until Sunday morning...

At lunchtime Friday, my plans for the evening were to go into the city for 1 maybe 2 drinks with friends, head home, and have an old school friend come over for dinner. He cancelled at 3pm, so I still went ahead with the city plans. After one drink, I headed home. I've never been able to do the just sticking to one thing...

And then I messaged B to see if she wanted to come over. She couldn't. So I messaged two other friends who live local to me. I can't remember if they have nicknames on here, so they will be boy and girl. (And I'll get round to writing a cast list one day!)

Girl was still at work, so she declined the offer, but boy had no plans. The history there is boy and girl went to our year 12 formal together and we have all been friends the whole ten years.

Boy came over over had a few drinks with me. As the drinks flowed, the conversation did, and it was definitely the most candid conversation we've ever had. He left at about 9, and I messaged him to say that he should have stayed. And he was back at about 10. And one thing did lead to another and well, we're still friends, but the benefit kind, which is handy as he lives not far away.

I think we've also both had crushes on each other over the years, but the timing just never was right. Now it is. And while I told him I'm fine with it, I still can't believe it happened. Happy it has, but I wonder if there really could be more there...

Also in the middle of all of this texting, I managed to call Max and tell her the situation, and she called me a legend and thought it was hilarious!

Cut to Saturday morning. I had a little self induced headache, so I layed in bed, got up did some chores, went back to bed. I also messaged the ex mentioned in this post, who was due to visit me today. He cancelled, so I was looking forward to a nice relaxing Sunday as well.

At 7pm, after yet another snooze, I woke up to find that my brother had arrived. We were going to see The Drones together, and they certainly did not disappoint- it was the most fantastic conceret- even the tall people who plonked themselves in front of me could not ruin it.

My phone beeped during "Cold and Sober" and it was a friend who I've not mentioned on here before, Mister. He lives close to where we were, so I had Bro drop me off there after the concert finished, and left at 9:30 this morning.

After one very long and expensive cab ride home, I check my email. The ex who cancelled on today had decided to come after all. Now, in order to visit me, he had a 1 hour flight here and back. And he did it, just to see me. We've been swapping texts and emails back and forth sporadically since January, and he was finally here in Brisbane!

Of course I was straight on the phone to Max, recalling the story, and she was dumbstruck at it all too.

So he arrived to pick me up and I'd forgotten how good looking he was.
