I'm Sick, and Date #6

I've been sick since Monday. Sore throat, achy, headache and my voice is mostly gone. I've missed 2.5 days of work and my voice still is not back to normal. This is a big problem considering that I'm in sales and I need my voice to do my job! I've done no exercise and my eating is crappy. Ugh. I hope to have this sickness behind me soon.

On the bright side, I have finished 3 books this week. The Horse and His Boy (good), Dedication (terrible) and Home to Holly Springs (pretty good).

So, Date #6. On the day that I managed to work a half day, I also motivated for a date. I had been trying to meet up with this guy for some time now. Between his schedule and mine it has been a challenge. So I did not want to cancel unless I had to... Plus, being sick gave me an excuse to make it an early night. The guy was nice enough. Good conversation, we seemed to have some things in common. He was a little heavier than his profile had indicated, but who I am to cast stones there? I was surprised that he went into the details of his divorce on a first date. The date was fine, but there were no sparks for me at all. He had some effeminate habits - speech patterns, gestures, etc. that struck me the wrong way. I think that would be hard for me to overcome. So I sent him a nice thank you email with the "no spark" message today. Moving on. My match.com subscription ends this month. I won't miss it that much.
