eat drink woman man

I think my life has calmed down a little bit- seems a little a ways from three to four weeks ago when I was confused, deranged and upset just about life. School has kicked in and I've started tutoring again, which means I work 12 hour days three days of the week. That my students are back and I've started once again, focusing on their lives and helping them, has helped me in turn. It's redirected all that mental energy and anxiety. There's still a mild sting thinking about Eddie, but it's not so bothersome anymore.
I'm went out on my second date with Mot the chef yesterday. Our first date was on Labor Day and I guess I didn't write about it because even though I had a good time, I felt rather drained from it. Dating is so draining. I think I make a pretty good first date cos I can read people pretty well and I react to what I think they want to see or hear- which is bad in the long run because I end up playing a role that I might not want to play later. But I decided to go on this second date anyway. Amongst other more noble reasons for agreeing to this second date, was the fact that Mot got tickets to opening day with the Niners.
Mot is the chef at a highly rated San Franciscan restaurant. We arrived at the tailgate with baguettes, 4 types of award winning cheeses, prosciutto and pickle appetizer and a dish with fresh anchovies and roasted vegetables soaked in olive oil. Very classy. Everyone loved Mot. He seemed to have a spectacular time explaining the food to everyone who tried it. I had an equally good time eating it all up. One friend said, Mooncake, you really know how to pick your men and food. This friend hasn't obviously read this blog and the secret life of Mooncake and her issues with Men.
Tsk tsk.
