If it weren't for the previously scheduled lunch with CWS, the need to do a week's worth of laundry, and the need to get a few lunches to eat at work, I wouldn't have left my apartment for any reason this weekend until I had to leave for work on Monday.

Given that musicians are touring again, I noticed that The Zombies were performing at 3 venues in the NYC region. One date is good for both RQS and I, but the venue isn't that great. (There is no assigned seating, and sometimes everyone has to stand for a performance - something my 64 y/o legs will not permit.) Another is on a day before an activity for which I need to be in NYC early in the morning. And the last date may be the only date I could make - but this requires other things to have been taken care of. One way or another, I hope to see them perform, as this may be the last time they tour the USA.
Things like dates, concerts, and game nights get me out of the house these days. But not much else seems to motivate me. It's nice that I've gone beyond thrill of being out as Marian in a public setting. Instead, I just feel more comfortable in my own skin when I'm out as Marian. And I'm looking to settle down with someone who can accept me both as Mario and as Marian. Yet, I've disabled my OK Cupid profile. If things don't work out with either CWS or RQS, I will need to take a break from dating as I am becoming jaded.
It's nice to have activity partners. But it's even nicer to have found someone with whom one has a deep emotional connection. Maybe, just maybe, I'll be lucky this time with both types of person.
