Well, no dinner parties, per se, but it was an eventful weekend – hope everyone else had a good one, too

Friday night, I went to see H- He had said he wanted us to “connect” so he could feel me “close to him” when he went away. Set the tone, so to speak. I thought that was a good thing, and it was a nice night. I didn’t ask the questions, Kent, but I did tell him I wanted to. And I also told him some of the things I had been wondering about OW, too, because we got on the topic. It worked out nicely, ‘cause I got to kind of put the bug in his ear about what I’d like to talk about, but didn’t pressure to do it right then (I did learn a few things about ow and where they’re at). I think it went a bit easier than either of us thought it would, which was good, too. And he said the next morning he was feeling stronger than he has in a while.

Saturday, he was playing a gig before he was going to leave, and I thought of going to surprise him, then made other plans, instead. I had asked a good friend of ours to take some pictures of me at the beach to commemorate the “new me” before my 29th birthday. (this is new for me!) And so we did that. I bought a journal for my H and left it for him, (for his trip) and went off to the beach (my favorite place in the world). He called me in the evening as our friend and I were going to have dinner and he ended up joining us for a drink. He was a little disappointed that I hadn’t gone to the show, but was really excited about the pictures… Considering he hadn’t told me where the gig was or what time, I still felt bad, but I’ll go next time. (I have rarely missed a single one).

Sunday, as he was leaving, he sent me a short email to say he hoped I wasn’t offended that he wasn’t inviting me on the trip, but I was kind of the focal point of it, and that he’d really like to take me with him on a trip like that in the future.

I spent the day starting a new creative project for myself, and looking at pictures and thinking a lot. Was a great day. I feel pretty positive today. I hope it’s a good week. My last week of being 28. I’m living it consciously, for me!
