OK, I've got an issue with MM. She works five nights a week and she informed me yesterday that she would be babysitting for her roommate on her two off nights. We didn't have time to pursue this as I was dropping her at work but my first thoughts were "where do I fit into this little package?" Now, MM sees the people she lives with as her "family", they are priority and I know that. That's why when she invites me in to hang out with them I do so. Also, I don't know the terms of this job. If we're talking 3:30 to 5 or 6 it's no biggie but anything more puts this R or whatever it is in a not so nice place. Now, is this her way to ditch me? I don't think so. MM contacts me every day either by phone, FB or text. She texts me every night since she started this evening shift "just want to say goodnight". She texts me little Tagalog phrases for me to figure out for fun. Sometimes in the morning on my FB is a "Good morning!" She leaves voice mails to tell me she got home OK and wish me a good day (I was a bit freaked when she started leaving work at 5:00am and taking the bus home) Today she phoned me at work to ask how my day was, how was work, what did I have for lunch (yes, she's Asian and cares about what I eat!)and share about her day (before leaving for work she was cooking food for her roommates so when they came home tired they'd have a hot meal). She wants that connection with me. So I dunno. I think I will have to ask her more about this babysitting gig and what it means to her and I. I'm not into pre-marital text as a relationship! We'll see. Life was so much simpler just being alone with my turtle. Btw, I do contact MM too but she does the largest part.
