What a gorgeous sunset we had tonight with the sun sinking down into a red sea, tinged orange on the edges. The only way it could have been more complete is if you were there to see it with me As I look up now, tonight, I see so many stars in the sky, and the best part is that it's not too cold to watch them for a while. Speaking of stars, do you know that it would take 3,000 years to count them all? That's my - I didn't know before - fact for the day. I don't want to count them all anyway, but I would do that if it would bring you back to me.
Today felt like a fine day to be outdoors, and I felt brave enough to try to meet some new people, so I didn't go to the barn, but instead went to a hike with a Meetup group. It was a little scary at first, as meeting new people is not my strong suit, but there were definitely some people in the group that I wouldn't mind going on a hike with again. One woman in particular, who brought her dog, was extremely nice. Turns out she just moved here three weeks ago from Colorado. The hike took us on the Appalachian Trail near the South Mountain Inn. We went past the Dahlgren Chapel. We were to go all the way to the Washington Monument there, but I had to turn around early, as I was in need of a bathroom - courtesy of my steroids. The woman with the dog decided to hike down with me. That was very nice of her. I plan to try to go on a few more of these hikes with them. All part of expanding my horizons in life.
I only had to take 4 of the steroids today, and for that, I am eternally grateful. Tomorrow I will be down to 3, then 2 for Monday, just 1 on Tuesday and then all done! My GI-tract will rejoice.
I stopped by the local drugstore before I headed out today, and had to do a major double-take as a there was a red-haired woman there that looked an awful lot like you. I am still not sure, because I couldn't get a good look without being obnoxious, if it might not have been you.
I counted 41 total Kia's today, and had another of those Kia SPAM messages show up. Haven't had one of those in a while.
I am going to sign off for tonight, because I need to answer your email after you answered my text about what time next week you were thinking of meeting. The fact that you texted me back was a good sign, at least for a friendship and perhaps one day, there could be more. I am extremely nervous because I want to get this right. I don't want to do anything to jeopardize a friendship that we can build. Maybe "brick by brick" we will get to that day when you will marry me . . .maybe, just maybe. I am undeterred by certainty.
Wishing,
MNP
