Trixi movin' on up...

[Trixi]

Thanks for checking in guys
First, glass torching: I have a torch powered by propane and oxygen that I use to melt glass and make glass beads, glass cylinders to go on salad tongs, goddesses, stars, dog heads... Nothing like sitting down in front of a torch, grabbing a rod of glass and making it do my bidding. Or at least attempt to make it do my bidding. The propane tank has to be put outside and I also need ventilation since some of the glasses have heavy metals in them. Because this is just a rental, I can't make any structural changes to the house. In my old house, my H had piped the propane into a second story bedroom.

I went over to the old house last night thinking we were talking finances. And we were, but only to a degree. I gave him a rundown of all the different bills the auto-deduct from the joint checking acct; told him what he needs to do to reduce the phone bills but still keep DSL; told him which companies he needed to call ASAP to accept sole responsibility for payment. He gets to the car insurance bill and says "Is this autopay?" I say "yup. that reminds me- I need to call for renters insurance and to have the car insurance deducted out of my acct. That sucks." and he says "no, you don't. just leave it." So, after a very short discussion on bills, he had purchased a new router and wanted to install it. I was a bit surprised that we didn't discuss anything more; but that's fine by me.

We started flirting. (Surprise, surprise, I know.) So I say "What's with this crazy ass relationship of ours?!" H "Yeah, it is crazy isn't it? I'm just taking it day by day. I just need some time and space for now."

He makes a couple moves on me and I hop up and say "HEY! what about actually DOING something together?!" H "We do do stuff. This weekend I am getting your torch set up. What about all the concerts we went to-Stevie Wonder, The Police..." I interrupt and say "yeah, yeah, that was WAY back. And setting up the torch is to pay me back for picking you up at 1am in the morning. I mean something FUN." H "Well sure we can do something fun. Let's figure out something to do and we'll go do it." !!

While trying to get the router set up, I notice MY slippers by the side of the bed with some of his clothes. (Just sort of messily piled around.) (I had left my slippers in the garage.) He has slippers of his own that he wears, and he doesn't wear slippers in the house. Anyhow, here is what is interesting. At some point, during the power cycling of the modem and router (many trips back and forth thru the bedroom) he hid my slippers under the bed. What does it mean? I don't know exactly, just something that made me go "hmmmmmm".

Fine morning- about an hour and a half of snuggle time. I thought I screwed things up with a couple comments I made just before I left, but I was just IMing him and things appear to be just fine.

Now the plan for this Saturday is get an earlier start to acct for the football playoff. Cool.
