Gordie #20: patiently living my life

No not too late for b day advice

Thank you and am taking the low key approach

I bought a low key gift that I know she will like

And will ask her what she wants to do

So as to let her have some input

Now is not the time for surprises

Father s day was in the end a good day

I woke up grumpy and frustrated about my life

But got over my self pity and decided to enjoy my day

I think I expected w to plan something which she did not

Those darn expectations

So I made my own plan with the kids

W decided to join us

We spent a whole day together

And I did not walk on eggshells

Or let myself revolve around her

Just let myself enjoy these wonderful children

And put them to sleep

The house was quiet and it was just the two of us

And she did not run off to her room as usual

So I asked her if she wanted a drink

And we had a glass of wine

And chatted about nothing in particular

Just enjoyed bejng with one another

It felt slightly more than platonic but not romantic or sexual

We said goodnight and hugged and kissed on the cheek

And then we went to our respective rooms and went to sleep
