Once again I seem to have taken a longer than usual hiatus
from writing. I’d truly love to write
more but as I’ve previously stated “work, eat, sleep and repeat” is rather
dull.
Since I began writing it seems I’ve been out of work more
than I’ve been “on the job.” I’m
currently at my 4th—YES! 4TH!!!—job in the very short
time of this blog’s existence. This has
happened through no fault of my own. It
is just a consequence of living where I do.
When you have no job, there is of course a tightening of the purse
strings. That leads to fewer
opportunities to get out and about.
Despite the periods of unemployment I have had a few
adventures. I continue to see “WV Guy”
and although long distance we “talk” in some fashion almost every day. This is my main relationship lately and it
has been good in spite of the distance.
I did travel to his area earlier in the year and we had a great time
together. We even managed to get in some
hiking after all the “hiking” J
we were doing. His area is absolutely beautiful
country and there are lots of outdoorsy, fun things to do.
Of course, I’m still me and I still have the occasional
hook-up. Most often with Alan—the first
guy I met on AM. He is always good to
get in touch when he is traveling nearby.
And Rob posted about a little
adventure we had earlier this year. Since
things have been well with WV Guy I don’t frequent many dating sites
anymore. Although I did check in on AM
recently—and it just happened to be the night before The Hack was announced. DOH!
From reading various forums online about it, it seems the
initial panic may have been unfounded.
Fears seem to have calmed a bit on the “prowlers” sites as time has
passed and no more additional information has been released. Of course, there’s always a chance that will
change and it’s something we in “the game” should be mindful of (“deny, deny,
deny!”). I wasn’t incredibly worried
about being “outed” although it definitely got my attention and sent me running
off to my tablet to read all about it.
Just a little reminder to be even more vigilant of protecting yourself
online—no matter if you’re prowling or not.
So this is just a little update post and me rambling
on. I hope to be taking a few trips at
the end of the summer and I’m very much looking forward to getting away. I’m still reading and following all your
wonderful blogs although I’m not commenting as much. I’m down to just my tablet at the house and
it doesn’t make it easy for anything other than reading or playing games from
what I’ve seen. So I hope all you
wonderful people are having a great, fun summer!!! Stay Cool!!
