Well, I guess they were serious about that whole 100 post thing! My only regret: I haven't had time to come up with a really clever title, so I'll just 'borrow' the third title from a classic trilogy.
I think I was the textbook DB this evening and it feels good!
SD texted me while I was on my way there; she said her mom wanted to know if I wanted more Swiss Chard from the garden. I replied 'yes, I would. Thank you!', picked up my boys and headed over there. We got there and it didn't feel weird at all to me. Knocked on the door, SD answered and as I walked in a little one-pound fuzzy thing ran at me. SD's Yorkie puppy might be the cutest thing I've ever seen! Picked her up (the puppy) and she was all licking and nibbling and I was laughing a ton. W and SD were both amused. I was really upbeat, made a few jokes and made W laugh and took off.
Dinner was nice, it was good to catch up with SD and her with my boys. Showed her my apartment afterwards and she agreed it was tiny. She asked more about it, told her it would be month to month soon. She asked if I was going to stay, get something else or buy a house like my old one (before W). Told her I definitely wasn't buying a house as who knows where I'll end up. She understands. W and our sitch didn't really come up at all, at least not directly.
Brought SD back home and her friend was there waiting for her. Talked to friend for a moment and when I saw W I said I'd take the chard she offered. She went out in the garden to pick it, which confused me. Turns out SD didn't get the text I replied back. We jokingly argued for a minute until W came back in. W then asked if I'd take some squash soon, as it's overrunning the garden. Looks like I have my produce set for a while. Wished W and SD a good camping trip, told everyone it was nice to see them, but even nicer for them to see me and left holding my Swiss Chard like a bouquet.
When I got in my car, I noticed a car idling in front of the house. Pulled out of the driveway, didn't see the driver, but noticed the CA plates. OM just got a car from his parents in San Diego. Coincidence I'm sure... I got a little extra kick knowing I came out of the house all smiling and with fresh garden vegetables. I wonder if OM ever gets jealous?
