Day 23: Team Boy or Team Single...?

(For the record, I am not saying I'm in love...there is just a potential)

A friend from work today brought up a few good points about what I loosely call "my love life" today.  I say loosely because the man I would like this love life to be settled around is really not an option at this point and in case you haven't read the early posts, it's not because he is attached to someone else; it's more because of the distance between us.  Again, I now have a way of getting around that distance but the only issue remaining is that that distance will not close until the end of the summer.  So we started discussing whether or not this was something to concern myself with between now and then.  Do I try to keep in contact and keep up the relationship begun over Christmas or do I occasionally speak to him and just keep it casual until I get there?  Is there a point in trying to make something happen between now and then since we will not be seeing each other before then?  Do I just enjoy being home and being single before I leave my friends and family for at least a year?  I really like the guy and am really interested in dating him and seeing where things go, but I feel like I am leaning more towards really enjoying my last 6 months in the US before I head overseas and leave everyone and everything behind.  Is this an indication that I am not as interested in him as I think?  Or is this a more practical way of going about life for 6 more months?  Or should I really go for things?  I should also say that I am someone who truly believes that timing is very important in life and that maybe when I get there is when this potentially will or will not work and that I'll find out then.  I wonder if I'm really the only one who thinks this way.

Day 23:
1.  New York Times Crosswords.  I try to keep the mind up to snuff attempting these puzzles as much as I can.  Got through today's pretty quickly and before you down my achievement, yes I am aware today is one of the easier days.  Complete is complete!
2.  Warm cup of peppermint tea to start the day.  I think I have decided that this is the way I should start every day at work from now on.  I am very much a tea person, so this is just what I needed after a really cold drive to work this morning.  Side note, I really need to invest in a good pair of gloves to keep my fingers from freezing touching the leather steering wheel!  Brrrr!
3.  Being all done with your chores/errands for the night before 5pm!  This is seriously turning in to a great day, not only was my place cleaned today by someone other than me (thanks Mom for helping with that!), but also I was able to do everything I needed to do after work before it starts to get dark.  It's so nice to be able to take my dog out for a walk before the sun goes down (and so much warmer!).  Now, it's off to change out of the work clothes, get comfortable, read, and go to bed early.  I know that makes me sound like an old lady, but it's so nice every now and then!
