One thing being with J is teaching me is really simple - when a man wants you in his world, he'll let you know. So much of the last year of dating has been me wondering where I rank in my current beau's life. So much "does he even think about me at all?" Which is a horrible thing to be wondering when you're supposedly in a relationship. There has been none of that this time. He makes sure I know how he feels about me, texts me every day (and lets me know when its likely he wont be abke to text like normal), and that is SO refreshing. Concerning the past, I knew I had been accepting way less than I should have been, and my only regret is that I didn't break things off when respect was no longer being served, because... man.... this is amazing. Ok, that's enough gushing for now.
Oh, also, I'd like to make something clear. I am happy being single. I like me. I take myself on dates and buy me things, and i enjoy every min of it. Being in a relationship has never been a requirement for my happiness. That being said, I was happy single and now I'm happy in a healthy relationship. 😁 I've heard a lot of "as long as you're happy" and I just want everyone to know that I'm responsible for my happiness, not my fella. Tho he does contribute 😊
Friday i made my eggs in purgatory and watched movies after my bank adventure. I also got pumpkin empanadas for saturday and tried a new cardbordaux. It was quite good (big sipper merlot, if you are curious, in addition to my normal black box pinot grigio). Saturday's shrimp boil was AMAZING. I don't think I'd ever really been to one before. You take a pot of water and start putting things in, I think the sausage went in first, then the potatoes, then the corn, then the mushrooms, and finally the shrimp. It's all done at the same time and you just scoop when it's done. Sooooo good. I didn't get many pix, as sometimes it's nicer to be present in the moment, but I did take home leftovers! The shrimp were deveined but not peeled, so we got to eat with our fingers a bit!
Scarby solo was interesting and fun! I got to take my time and see some shows. Only thing was I may have taken "treat yo self" to a WHOLE new level. Some pix:
Now I'm cleaning my apt because it's overdue. Soooo not a fan but whatcha gonna do? Also, when transporting pickles be VERY sure it's a waterproof container. I didn't, they leaked, and I smelled pickles all this am at work. Between the stuff I have for wraps and the leftover shrimp boil, I'm eating GOOD this week. 😉 hope all is well for you, and thank you for reading about my adventures 😁
