A Little Epiphany - (and a newbie delurking)

[Dia]

INFP, here. My sis and my dad are INFJs.

As for screennames, mine is short for Diotima, namely Diotima of Mantinea. Thing is, if I use 'Diotima', then people call me Dio which is odd for me on several levels.

Interesting morning. Disrupted night - cat squabbles, kidlet dreamed there were scorpions in his bed so little sleep for me. After I comforted the freaked out kidlet, I sent him to sleep in the master bed with his dad - no scorpions there. Our alpha female kitty still objects to the new kitty's presence, though that is slowly getting better. The two male cats are buddies now, eating from the same dish and playing chase with each other.

So this morning, I was *not* ready to face the day. I asked H if he would handle getting the kidlet to school so I could claim an extra hour of sleep. There was a point during that hour where he came in, stood by the bed and just looked at me. I was too asleep to speak or respond, but I could feel him there.

After I got up, he and I curled up on the couch just talking about stuff. Not touching, but there was this very intimate feel to it, and his gaze at me was more openly tender than I've seen it so far.

Ch-ch-ch-changes.

Kidlet scored a sleepover with a boy from his class tomorrow night, so I will be suggesting an anniversary date w/o calling it a date. There are some jazz clubs here, and a Argentine place with Tango music. I've never been to either one.

Oh, and H is not doing his movie night tonight. He said he felt he had too many evening activities scheduled and he wanted to be home. Hmmmm... Not reading too much into that as I also know he wants to work on his game, but he was conflicted when he told me he'd be home tonight, so he's wrestling with something.

He also mentioned seeing Laurel when he was dropping off kidlet, the woman I mentioned last night who told me I had it made. Gossip is the wrong word for her as she doesn't maliciously tell tales, but I swear the woman knows *everything* that goes on in this town. There may have been a convo there.

I have a dress all picked out for Friday dinner if it happens. It's chocolate brown with a wrap style top - so low cut - then shirred at the waist with a nice flouncy skirt. I'll have to check my shoes, but I think I have some gold, strappy wedges that will do the trick nicely. Then again, H seems to like the dress with the dangly ties, so that one's possible too.

Ok, off to work with me.

Have a great day, everyone!
