Wheel of Fortune

It has been some time since my last musing and how eventful that time has been.
I was moderately happy in love and settled in a job, home and social life.
Things change so quickly.

Within 24 hours my love life was turned upside down - it ended suddenly. To boot, I received a transfer to Brisbane. The irony of being transferred to Bris is that a small part of my request for transfer was to see how this relationship might develop if we were in the same city. The timing is so bizarre one can't help but wonder if some divine force is at work. Why?

It has taken me some time to get over this relationship as I was quite smitten and had foolishly let my guard down. Never again.

Now I am on the track to a new life. The card The World suggests itself at this point.

Let's lay down some more ironies.

I will be moving back into the house I could not escape from fast enough when I was 17.
As I leave my current location, a charming and sexy man has made a strong play for me. The first local to have done so in 8 years of residing here. Yes I know -he is making the play because it is safe to do so as I am leaving... Let me have my fantasies...

Any more to pile up? I think that is sufficient for one quarter, don't' you?

Oh but wait, there's more. One man takes me out to dinner but is too shy to kiss me good night. Another offers somewhat less in the meal department and somewhat more in the lust department -in much less salubrious surroundings. I know it is obvious which one is the more trustworthy, which one I should encourage, but I just can't make myself get hot and flustered for "the good guy". I know there are serious shortcomings with "the devilish one" too. It's hard not to pick the obvious self undermining going on here.

Maybe the Wheel of Fortune is stuck on a stone and just won't turn as I try to move my heart forward to catch up with life's other events which are overtaking me.

Maybe I should just get over it!
