My parents had ordered grapefruit from the high school athletic boosters to support Sonny's school, only the delivery got a bit messed up and we didn't get our order until after my last free weekend was past -- so they didn't get their fruit for Xmas. Now that I have a Fabulous Girlfriend, it's even more difficult to get a free weekend to use for delivering their fruit (and they're about five hours north of me). So I'd tried to meet them in New York City -- a shorter train ride than car ride -- and they fussed at me about this. I thought I'd had them persuaded but then they played the Grandson card. They win! I can't say no, I won't bring up their darling grandson...so I'll drive up this weekend. I've arranged for the Ex to watch the dogs and cats and kittens while I take their grandson with me for the delivery of the fruit.
Last weekend I was out of town, having a New Year's with my Fabulous Girlfriend at a ski resort about 4 hours away. We actually did ski, and snowshoe, and dance on New Year's Eve -- both slow and fast! -- and have other fun activities as well. She taught me how to ski cross-country, which I'd never learned even though I once got on some cross-country skis about thirty years ago. We tried to get a downhill ski lesson for me, but the timing was bad, so I sent her off to get some downhill skiing in, as a reward for being so patient with me in cross-country. She is a very good skier, and I learned a lot in our 2+ hours of cross-country.
We spent the better part of four days together, and our parting was reluctant. I was supposed to be home on Sunday night...
I'd been looking forward to seeing her again this weekend, and if all goes well, I will -- if I can leave with the Son on Friday afternoon, I can leave the parental house earlier on Sunday, and get back here by early afternoon. She's willing to come down to my house so we can join some friends at a seisiún. One of the things I love about her is her willingness -- and desire -- to hold hands in public. I like having someone hold my hand and demonstrate PDA.
Every now and then we also steal a kiss in public...even in West Virginia. Winter coats and being tall are helpful disguises.
I'm up to about 15 sonnets now, with more protoplasmic sonnets floating around in here. Not all of them are suitable for public exposure though...lol.
Soon it will be the first anniversary of the Ex's Announcement. In fact, it will be this Sunday. After that, I plan to inform her of the existence of my Fabulous Girlfriend, because it will be time to share that news -- and because life moves on.
