Work is coming along nicely. It's been a full year now since I graduated with my AS as an older student, landed and out-of-state job and moved for it. It's been many long years previously of not being happy and not really understanding why. But now that I an happy, I keep waiting for the other shoe to drop. I'm trying to just enjoy where I'm at right now, but it can be difficult at times.

This week is nothing exciting or extraordinary, just working on assigned projects and keeping a clean house. I want to date again, but the men I come across on the apps seem to never want to meet up, so it feels about as dry as the desert I'm living in. Not sure how to navigate finding a partner now.

Good to hear!

About dating, is there any hobby group you can join in your area? That tends to be the easiest way to organically meet people

Yeah, I'm just not sure what else to join, hobby wise, that include lots of men. I joined an active writing group, but it's the same people over and over. My hobbies tend to be less... physically active? I'm open to all ideas though. I dunno, maybe I should volunteer somewhere?

Volunteering could be a good option!
