Dear Reader,
Me, myself and I. When I spend too much time alone--it's not a good thing. That's one of the reasons I'm keeping my dinner date this evening. A friend called a few days ago, we made a date for dinner and ever since then, part of me has been trying to come up with reasons for why I should call her back and cancel.
It's a very weird thing. Initially when I accept an invitation my adrenaline gets a little push and it feels good thinking about doing something different. I'm certain I'll have a great time, looking forward to the date, and even thinking about what I'll wear. But the closer it gets to the day of the event, the more "unsure" I feel. And that uncertainty continues right up to the time I'm getting dressed to leave--even then--I'm wishing more than ever that I hadn't accepted the invitation. 'Why did I say I'd do this? I wish I could just put on my pajamas and stay home.'
Moan and groan--regrets about accepting overwhelm me. But by then it's too late to cancel and it's a good thing, too, because as soon as I say hello to my friend this evening, my feelings will change. And that's when the mystery gets even more bizarre. Because in the middle of our dinner, it will dawn on me how much fun I'm having and I'll be chastising myself, 'Suzanne, you really ought to do this more often.'
Me, myself and I. We're a strange bunch; thank heavens people invite us out now and then.
Thanks for reading with me. It's so good to read with friends.
