The Plus (Minus) Side

5 lbs gone due to the flu. Knew being sick was good for something. Now just to keep the momentum going.

Went out this past Saturday night. Finally got to celebrate my birthday. I had several shots of Jack purchased by others. Probably too many. Good time was had by many as it was just a general function, not particularly for the birthday. Met some new people. Ran into an old friend. Got to spend the evening with someone special. He was even attentive. Still enjoying and trying not to imagine anything more especially since I have been burned by this person before. Dammit!...that fire is so tempting.
