Passed my EMT-B exam this week, so I should be a licensed EMT soon. Of course, that means going from driving the rig to being thrown around in the back by the idiot driving the rig, so it only looks like advancement if you squint just right . . . .
The new scale says I'm still losing. It's been hard to see, though my family says they can see my face thinning. However, I had one belt that was already on its last hole, and now there are no holes that make it small enough. My watch is looser, too, actually. Just forget I said anything else.
My wife took a vacation trip with her best friend to visit family (the friend's, not ours) in Texas. I took the chance to keep busy, work on "self soothing" as Schnarch describes it, and focus on my youngest son for awhile (the other two were at Boy Scout camp and visiting grandma, respectively.) I missed my wife, but it was still a great week, and last night we celebrated her return with maybe the best sex I've ever had. It was nothing elaborate, no toys, no props, no role-playing, but it was completely open and I felt totally connected to her. I think I picked up the Schnarch book just as I was ready to understand it. Last year I don't know if I would have gotten nearly as much from it. It's mostly easy mindset stuff if you're ready for it, very few "tricks" or "techniques."
