When life gives you lemons, make lemonade! I had a sudden free evening, so I called up a couple of friends... As I've been neglecting them, I wasn't surprised when they couldn't make the time for me though it is a weekday evening. I had almost resigned myself to time by my lonesome when I recalled that a pen pal was still in town.
I checked my email history, pulled out his hotel info and called him. As luck would have it, he had just returned to his room from a day of meetings. He had no fixed plans as yet and was agreeable to dinner near his hotel and perhaps more......
It's a weekday so I couldn't stay out the whole night and I made sure he understood that before I confirmed our meeting time and place. I left my office after freshening up and took the train to town.
It was the first time that we were meeting one another though we had been communicating online. Hmmm, I did wish I was wearing a sexier top though I had no such intentions when I dressed for work this morning!
