Donated blood today. The nurse who checked my blood pressure and questions was friendly and attractive (a happy, radiating, southern personality). She rested her hand on my bicep for a moment as she determined whether or not my sweater should come off for the blood pressure cuff. We had a pleasant, postiive, fun conversation before I went on my way to bleeed.

This human interaction felt so warm, but it made me sad. Its been a long time since I've had any physcial contact with the opposite sex or such a positive conversation that wasn't about work.

I remember this feeling with my wife. Where the nurse is trained to make people comforatble and relaxed, my wife used to naturally make me feel that way. I miss that. I stayed positive and upbeat tonight however while she was here and will drown my sorrows in a sappy Christmas movie since she's gone to work and the kids will be in bed soon.


I'm 33, she's 32.
