A Boring Week

The past week has been pretty good.  We didn't do anything extra special, there was nothing very eventful that occurred.  And my happiness meter moved closer to 10 (on a scale from 1 to 10).

It was a boring week:

* We went to see "Iron Man 2" - in a neighborhood theatre. 

* We both worked long days.  He was physically tired when he got home & I was emotionally tired when I turned my laptop off.  He was tired from climbing ladders, hauling equipment, fixing what others were supposed to do, but conveniently 'forgot' to finish before they left for the day.  I was tired from dealing with the news of yet another job change being hoisted upon me.  A change I didn't agree with, but to stay employed, I must figure out how to make the best of the situation. 
* I cooked dinner - most days... :-)   
* He went grocery shopping with me - and I think once was enough ... LOL
* I went shopping for stuff only girls would be excited about & I didn't ask him to go with me.
* He went flying...

 

*I worked on my garden...

* We complained about the rain - "It seems more like April than May with all this rain!" "Yup, I'm tired of the rain."

* We watched "America, the Story of Us".  It started out as him sitting up and me laying my head on his lap - so romantic.   It ended up with both of us falling asleep - so comforting.

It was a boring week... a GOOD BORING WEEK.  I could live for a long time with more boring weeks like this.  I think I could live a long time with D.  That thought is good & is scary... 

Just a few weeks ago, we both said that we didn't love one another.  I was okay with that --- at that time  ---  because at that time I didn't see much future.  At that time, something was always happening which made me focus on D as a Mr. Right Now, not as a Mr. Right.  But this week, these past weeks, have brought him from the first category to the latter.  Hence the fear... am I falling in love with someone who is not falling in love with me?  A scary thought... very scary!

But for now, I'm going to enjoy my "boring" days with D.

For Now - "Boring Lady Bug"

Wait & See

It's been a while since I've written.  I've been in a state of 'wait and see' regarding this relationship... There are so many odd things going on in our lives (both D's & mine).  I can't tell f our annoyance with one another at times is because we don't like one another anymore or if the stress of life is beating on us.  So rather than just saying "I'm done with this craziness", rather than yelling, crying and arguing, I remembered many stories of happy relationships that I have read and heard from friends who have been married 40 or 50 years or more.  The common thread is that there will be good times and bad times and the difference between people who made their relationships work understood how to get through - ignore to some extent - the bad times.  Because the adage of 'this too will pass' has been adopted by the successful couples.  So I decide that I don't know where this relationship is going, hence I will 'wait & see'.

Well, it's been a while and things in both our lives are getting better.  His job is permanent & much better.  My job is much less stressful - finally, I got more help!  And now when he "comes home" we are talking, and more importantly we are LAUGHING!

Today, he came home with these beautifully wrapped flowers!   They were wrapped in thick pink paper & tied with a ribbon!  Yellow & orange tulips.   It felt wonderful.  Yes, wonderful.  Wonderful.

I feel like a girlfriend again - a very good feeling!  Wonderful.  I feel special.  A Wonderful Feeling!

Good things come to those who wait??????? Who knew that saying was true????  :-)
