I wasn't really sweating or anxious at all today. In the past I would have had a little anxiousness but today... nah... IDK if that's because it was in my office and in my office I got my sh*t together for sure. I'm good at what I do. :-)
H came in for his apt with our puppy who just turned a year old.
OMG it was soooo awesome to see this guy (last time was June I think). He is soooo handsome and just a gorgeous athlete. But, he LOVES his daddy.
So the first half of the apt was me asking questions about the puppy.. exam of the puppy and I had H help with that rather than have the staff come in.
Of course there was small talk - I do that with everyone but obviously we know each other. We chatted about SS20 who is dealing some issues post deployment and not coming home for Xmas. Since H had already gotten my timeshare travel itineraries I just went ahead and stated well we'll be out there for Xmas so we will make sure to see him and get him out to do something. That we were staying outside of Seattle. H asked "are you sure you want to be in Seattle right now?" Wow, concern?? Nope, probably small talk. Mentioned that my plan was to get SS20 to come with us on a turboprop to Rainier and Helens and H stated I should do the helicopter instead... (he knows I'm terrified of heights and flying and I sent him on the helicopter tour with SS20 because I did not feel comfortable... he is still trying to push my comfort zone... which is one of the things I love about him and have told him so --BUT not today)
Anyway talked about his hunting lately. That he just bought a forge... another new hobby for this new life he is living and loving. Not surprised at all. He is just passionate about this stuff... I accepted this about him but in his narrative I did not.
I just smiled and validated.
The staff giggled because they took turns walking by the exam room which has window and I was in the "power" position. He was seated and I was standing in a very commanding way they stated. YUP, that made me giggle.
Anyway eventually I just walked to the exam room door and walked out with him to the lobby while still chatting about his brother and then told him to have a good day.
There was tons of eye contact. He clearly had just gotten out of bed prior to apt. He never smiled. Not even when he told stories about the puppy. He never laughed. I did catch him briefly checking me out in my scrubs (I wore my most sexy pair today!) but it was extremely brief.
He did not ask about me. He did not ask about my son. He has already told me he likes to play... but I couldn't play so he found someone he likes to play with.
I will not go down the rabbit hole.
Nothing here folks but a woman doing her job and doing it well --- that puppy's healthy!
