Contemplation
Went to the gym this morning. Minus 21, so it is much colder than yesterday. Did 600 calories on the eliptical machine. 88.2 kilos on the scale. Put a bit of ice on my left knee when I got home for the first time in a while, but not real bad.
I have many wine glasses in my cupboard. Don't need them, very rarely use them, but still there they are. Story behind some. Others I can't remember where they came from.
Yesterday I contacted S first when I saw her come on line. It wasn't that loneliness had defeated my resolve to not communicate for thirty days (deadline was Nov 24th), but rather I became worried that she might think I was, when we were both online at the same time, snubbing her ("cutting" as VS Naipaul might say). Brief chat, then I had to walk back to work.
I have written a letter with a proposal of marriage. For a friend of R's in Trinidad. She has a most beguiling figure, which she attempts to mostly conceal by dressing modestly, and I think she is very conventional and stable. She is 40 years old, never married. Anyway, no reason why she should be interested in a proposal of marriage from me, but there is no harm in making it and, of course, I do believe that a marriage with this women could be a good one.
I am alone a great deal of the time here in Yellowknife. But it doesn't seem to be making me as lonely as I feared it might. Wait, I suppose, for the literally dark days of December and January. Going to the office most days and dealing with the people there helps I'm sure.
