I Will Get Used to Hooking Up

thepnutgalleryMonday - Ken left for Scottsdale while I was at work - I had hoped that he would have done laundry, or at least gotten quarters, but no such luck. Hooked up with Artecblond (guy that I had been going to step out with FOREVER AGO) after work, and was almost late for the focus group at the center. The focus group paid $25, and it's easier than stopping at the ATM. :-D The meeting itself was okay, but the group asking the questions had this whole weird dichotomy between having been there and done that for the past 20-25 years and having absolutely NO CLUE about what to do. I started off very vocal, and had to put my foot down on one guy who thought he was smarter than he was, but backed off when I saw that other people had more to say. Some of them knew what they were talking about, and some were just talking to hear themselves talk. Went for groceries after that, and ate a bunch (veggies and oatmeal) when I got home. Talked to Ken, had a drink, went to sleep. Didn't sleep well, of course, on account of the heat and the lack of Ken.
Tuesday - Fairly sleepy at work, as you might imagine, but still ran the errands I needed to after work and before game. Actually fell asleep at home, but got woken up by the phone just in time. Headed over to Jason's, where it turns out we still weren't playing. Ate too many nuts, too much japanese snack mix, and even had a Tofurkey Sausage. Also drank lots of diet. Daniel is SO FRIGGIN CUTE when he's high! Michael tapped out around 10:15, but Wyatt lingered on until Jason finally kicked us out. Then we chatted in front of his place until I couldn't take anymore. Both of us got stuff out, though, so that's good. Wasn't tired at all when I got home, and woke up just before the alarm in the morning.
Wednesday - Was able to get out of work early enough that I had time to pick up chips, salsa and flowers for Ken, take out the recycling and the trash, do the dishes, and get myself cleaned up before Ken got back. I like that I was excited to see him. Then I got lost on the way to the airport, and was late. We had been going to go to the party at Mo's for their new website, but Ken decided to stay in instead. We mostly just putzed around at home - I had a couple drinks, and Ken was disappointed. I got the feeling that he wanted sex, but by the time we finally went to bed, I'd been up for so long, I finally just zonked.
Thursday - Despite the full night's sleep from the night before, I was uber uber uber tired at work. Around 12:30, I finally headed out to my car for a moment, where my limbs just wouldn't move any more for a good twenty minutes. Weird, but I was a little better afterwards. Ken mentioned that he was going to work late, so I stopped by Ralphs and picked up some non-food essentials we were needing. Still got home before him, though not by a whole lot. He had some chips and salsa, and we cuddled on the couch and watched TV for a bit before he left for poker. Paul called, though I had thought about tapping out of the night, but opted to go over anyway. We talked and drank most of the night, and I got to meet one of his roommates. I should have gone home when he suggested getting into the hot tub, but I was stupid and got in. We made out, and almost hooked up, but I did tap out for that. Ken still wasn't home when I got back, so I just passed out. Told him about it when he got in, and he was none too pleased. Ah, well.
Friday - Even though he had a ton of work to do (enough that he was going to need to come in on Saturday), Ken called in sick to work. I hate hate hate hate hate when he does this, because we haven't had sex in days, and he's home alone and randy. He made a new A4A account, and was messaging boys while e-mailing me. Work started out slowly enough that going home early was a dead certainty, but then we got a BIG regular mail drop and my coworkers gave up. Knowing full well what going home on time would mean for Ken, I went ahead and kept slamming work in anyway. My reward? Going home early. Fuck yeah! We didn't end up having a 3-way, or sex at all, so it wasn't as much of a reward, but it was still good. Ken went looking for apartments, and I did my research on my PPK Swap Partner. My dream job really is Internet Ferret. :-D When Ken got back we laid down for a nap - he almost tapped out of the night, but I wasn't about to have a repeat of the week before. We went to pick him up some dinner, since I still wasn't hungry, and then I went to get him some 5-hr energies and mint chocolate cookies from VONS. He told me he'd miss me, and while it caught me off guard, it was nice. Dallas was already there when I got back, though the boys were just about to head out to Lei. I had just enough time between them leaving and Jason arriving to get cleaned up and put on a pot of coffee. Jason talked about his boss, who is an ass, and how he might be instrumental in getting the guy fired. Good news. Had a brief scare just before we left for Rich's, when I couldn't find my driver's license, but we got there just in time. I had been hoping that my tummy would calm down, but it only got worse as the night went on. Jason wanted to dance, but with my tummy being all wonky, there was no way that was going to happen. Brandon, Chris, and their friends Anna, Christina, and M**** joined us, though the girls left quite quickly. The crowd was very weird, and not in a good way. Lots of obnoxious straights, lots of older gays. Ken and Brandon were drinking a lot, but we eventually tapped out around 1:30. Stopped at Ralphs so I could get some crackers and Ken could get some vodka, and then headed home. We had been going to have some fun over, but we started talking in the kitchen while Ken was eating his pizza. Somehow found ourselves on the topic of April, and also of Nelson. Nelson came out surprisingly well - he called Ken an asshole for everything he's put me through, once Ken told him that I was paying my own way. Ken and I have a difference of opinion on April, and he went to bed while I was still cleaning up. Since the light was off, I figured we weren't touching, so I just went to bed on the couch. Not a BAD night, per se, but I definitely had higher hopes.
