Difficult takes a day, impossible takes a week

What would life be without complications?

Well, it would be a hell of a lot simpler for one thing.

Rachel is going overseas in a couple of months for a 6 month semester of study + holiday to Toronto. She'll be back for Christmas. As much as we get on well, she told me on Saturday night that she really didn't want to get involved before the holiday, otherwise she'd just get too into the relationship as she has in the past and then miss me like crazy while she was gone.

Hence, it is in 'go slow' mode, with a view to seeing where we are in the new year.

Nothing wrong with how we get on -- we are well matched, enjoy each other's company, yada yada yada... just a case of problematic timing.

I sure can pick 'em.

Still, we will continue to see each other, but just with a lot less expectation of forward progression for a while.

I really should have listened to my mother and become a monk... surely that would be easier than this dating scene?

Oh well. I'm still pretty happy, so it's all good right? And our project at work just got a 2 week extension so that's taken a load off my shoulders. We should be able to get everything finished by then. New install date is now 21 April. Yippee!
