do nothing day, but extending the friend branch

I was going to say I can't believe I slept almost all day, but this is me, I really shouldn't be surprised by that anymore. I got up around 10:30, lounged around till 1:30 or so, then promptly fell asleep for two hours. So now it is 5:30 and I have done really nothing all day. While I would have liked to been a bit more productive, I didn't mind getting some rest. It's tough to be part cat. The sad part is I still feel tired. I am going to assume that is because I haven't eaten much or had much water today.

But...I have made efforts to make friends out here. Tim helped me write a craigslist posting. I decided that this would give me a little more control over the process, and maybe pop up some people I wouldn't find otherwise. I am getting tired of having no one here to hang out with, and I feel good that I finally put up a posting.

I've had three girls write back already, one who sounds really fun and like someone I would enjoy spending time with, one who is younger and could be ok, and one who is my age, comes across in emails as funny and smart, but we'll see how we hit it off. She doesn't look like a fun or silly friend, but maybe having a more serious friend isn't so bad either. And if none of them work out, at least I made an effort. And next Saturday, I am going to be brave and go to a girls night out with women I don't know. That is big for me in several ways, because I rarely do group things, especially group things where I really don't know anyone. But being brave and forcing myself to not be shy is a good thing. And again, I might or might not meet anyone, but getting out has to be good.
