Amazing the difference one day can make for someone. And for once I am not talking about myself. Two things happened yesterday to people I care about. First was the kid. I have to say her and I had the most incredible day yesterday. There's way too much going on in my head right now. I need to slow down and breathe for a minute. Things are swirling around - but in a good way. Let's take this in order...
Got up yesterday around 7:30 or so. The kid's guest was on the couch still sleeping. I did my normal stuff and around 9 we were all ready to head out. I am so glad I didn't drive him home Saturday night. I would have never made it. He lives in the hills off of winding roads where there are no street lights. I would have killed us all. Anyway, got him dropped off and could see the look in the kid's eyes. She is enamored. I didn't say anything though except for general stuff about him like he's a good guy, how old is he, etc. We then headed to the train station to take the train into the city. We got up there around 11 something and had a wonderful time. We walked all around, had an incredible brunch at this peruvian place - tuna tartare, eggs with vegetables, ceviche, peruvian ribs, and truffled mac and cheese - then we finished up with ice cream at one of the best places in the city. I had a Bourbon coke float. Bourbon ice cream with caramel and coke. Was the bomb. Seriously.
While we were at brunch, she let it slip she is going to have a busy day next Saturday. Oh? Yes it seems her and the boy have a date next saturday to go rock climbing. Rock climbing. My kid. Yeah she likes him. She would rather spend the day having a tooth pulled then go rock climbing. But the things we do... I am so fucking happy for her. After that she is meeting up with my director's kid as he has a band thing at a music store. Then she has a show. She WILL have a busy Saturday won't she? We got home around 4 something and relaxed. TGF came over around 5ish and her and I went for a walk.
In between something interesting happened with my director (the male part of the couple). He is a pretty closed off guy when it comes to his own feelings but yesterday he opened up publicly on facebook. He wrote a long message to his 'friends' about how he has been feeling and that he could use some help. I immediately texted him. He responded saying thank you and that he would call me later.
Around 7 or so we all were just kind of zoning out. Kid was playing Alice, I was on the computer, TGF was playing something on my tablet. It was peaceful and nice. Made some leftover Persian food for everyone and we all were just quite content. Around 8 the kid headed off as she was super tired. Me and TGF started watching Buffy when my director called. Him and I spent the next 45 minutes on the phone just talking about getting older, dealing with exes, dealing with wives, kids, and basically the stress of life. Like me, most of his friends are 20 somethings without kids or real issues. He also told me that out of his 173 facebook 'friends' like 6 wrote on his post but about 4 actually called, texted, or emailed. It helped to show him who is real friends are. I gave him the advice to do something like this. I explained to him how cathartic it is for me and he is going to give it a shot. I hope it helps him. He is a very selfless guy and it took quite a bit for him to reach out for help.
Around 9:30 or so TGF and I headed to bed. Her back was hurting and I gave her something to take the edge off of it. That ended up working in my favor as after about 1/2 hour she pulled the horny card and we did a double header under almost 1. Yes, I am tired this morning, but damn if it wasn't worth it...
Have some work to do to get ready for a presentation tomorrow. This will be good.
