Y4 D143

Tired this morning. Up at 3 to go to the airport. Have to leave in 1/2 hour.

Yesterday was mildly productive. I was up early to check in for my flight and then decided to stay up and get things done. I went to the grocery store and got food to make sure the kid has stuff to eat and that there was stuff when I get back from Chicago. This way I can get home and not trip out that there's nothing to eat in the house.

Took a nap around 12:30 to 2. Kid got home around 3 and we ran to the comic book store. Only 15 more weeks of Before Watchmen and we will have them all. I can't believe we have been collecting those for almost 20 weeks already. Insane.

My friends came over around 4 to take the kid on a driving lesson. Yes she drives, but she is afraid of driving on the freeway. Since I am a lousy passenger and the added stress of me being her dad, we have shied away from me teaching her freeway driving. My buddy and his wife agreed to take her out and he let her drive on four different freeways. According to him she did great. That's good because now she can start driving me to the airport.

I left for my date around 545 and well...

I think I am in the friend zone. But I am not quite sure. I am not sure if it's just that she has too much going on right now for her to even realize I am trying to date her or if I am truly just a friend. Example - this week she has one friend getting a c-section on Thursday to deliver a baby that is already known to have physical deformities and may have mental issues, she is maid of honor in our other friend's wedding on Friday, and she is dealing with catching up on a Chem class she is not doing well in. See? It's like there is so much going on just in this next week that the thought someone is trying to date her is going up and over. I may just ask at some point. But why ruin a good thing... I found out some other stuff last night. I wasn't sure her exact age but now I know and it's cool. She is going to 34 in December which makes me wanting to date her not absurd. I am wondering too if she sees me as too old to date. Ugh. If I ask though I will be probably disappointed as usual.

I did send the woman from last Wednesday an email seeing if she wants to get together when I get back. No response. Which is kind of weird because I didn't think I did anything out line Wednesday nor do I think she is the kind to just ignore. But then again she might be. If I don't hear anything by like Tuesday I will give up. Not going to beat myself up.

Anyway, airport time. Whee.
