Faithfool update. It's been 4 years since my last bus stop. On the first week of my 5-week holiday, an epic bucket list road trip, staying with some friends who have a fabulous place. I had my own cabin with a sauna.

A gentleman friend I met last year in my old home town recently moved back to his old home town near where I was staying.

We had met a couple of times for drinks but never anything more than a hug.

So yesterday he drives for two hours to where I'm staying, he had some business to take care of in the area and I arranged for him to stay over at my friends' place so he could party with us because he's pretty cool.

So he showed up with a bottle of wine and we had a great time, my friends loved him. Come bedtime they disappear and leave us towels for the sauna *wink *wink

So as we're winding down and finishing the most excellent wine, he confesses that he has had a crush on me since the first day, and he thinks I'm "fucking hot".

This is a bit of a pleasant surprise as I had crushed on him immediately but never really followed up because he's, um, a bit young for me. Wait for it...... he's 44, and I just turned 66. I know, I know, crazy talk right?!

Well suffice to say FF is off the bus for the next couple of days with this gorgeous 6 foot 4 longhair until I leave for the next town I'm going to visit on Wednesday.

[Cue MRS ROBINSON coo coo kachoo....]

Hot dang!

Hey, for some reason the only guys that have been interested in me this last year are all younger then I am. Right now I'm 37 and I have a 29 year old who is into me.

I'm really not sure how I feel about it.

Get it girl!

I have yet to date anyone my age, which is a bit weird because to be honest when this all started I thought The Asshat, with his 6 figure job and giant belly probably would have women falling all over him and I’d be alone forever since I’m approaching 50, divorced with 2 kids and no career.

But, totally not the case. Turns out, I am pretty darn attractive (which brings its own set of problems I’m just now remembering from single life 22 years ago, actually) and there are a lot of good, fun, attractive people in this world who want to meet us. There really are.

It has hands down been the best thing I did with all this, OLD. It’s it’s own can of worms of course, but the self esteem boost has been invaluable. And just...enjoy. I am. I mean we have limited time in these bodies, so use them up and have fun. And men are so very much better now than my twenties, it’s really amazing. We know what we like, and dont, and they know so much more about what we like...wow. It’s just a whole new world.

Enjoy the hot tub, the wine, and him.

On my way to the next stop on my trip now. He ran out of gas and shut down after day 2, we had dinner and a good talk about it all last night. I love that he's not afraid to say what's on his mind, very positive trait that makes him even more attractive.

He was clearly overwhelmed lol. I tried to warn him...

Onward!

I am turning 60 soon. This thread makes me hopeful.

Aaaand the adventure continues with a quick trip to the ER for antibiotics. It appears the ladybits got severely overheated and FF got the mother of all bladder infections....

It was super fun explaining that to the nice lady doc who was young enough to be my granddaughter.

Sometimes jumping off the bus results in a little road rash. Still worth it though. There's a dance in the old dame yet!

To quote another Paul Simon song, "still crazy after all these years."

Onward.

Meh, a couple days on antibiotics and you'll be back in the game. Definitely a price worth paying.
