Update. And sleep deprivation.

So here's the Sparky update. Miracle upon miracles - Sparky is digging me. And shows it. He calls me and we end up talking for hours on the phone (and I HATE talking on the phone), he plans for the next time that he can see me, he tells me how he feels and what he's thinking, he's interested in getting to know me and it shows .... I didn't think that I would ever find a guy who was willing to take chances like this. To top it off, he's the rare breed of guy who opens doors for me, and helps me to put my coat on, and walks me to my door when he drops me off - I should thank his mother for doing such a great job. No dating others for Sparky - he wants to take the time to get to know me. Well. All's good in dateland my friends. (And I can hear a whole bunch of sighs of relief and "Finally!" from y'all right now.) As dear old Sally-gal said - if you put it out there as to what you deserve and how you should be treated by a guy, then the universe will deliver the goods.

This week has been riddled by end of term hell and major insomnia. Some nights I only get 2 hours of sleep - and when I'm getting up at 4:30am to make my 8am lecture in Toronto - well let's just say that I'm a big mess. The other night I was walking to Union Stn and the number of times that I caught my toe on the sidewalk and stumbled was unbelievable. I just started giggling after the 10th time .... people must have wondered if I was high or drunk, stumbling and giggling. Today I took a vacation day, and I'm heading to TO for a day of shopping and an evening in a nice hotel with my best friend K who is visiting for the weekend. I can't wait.
