I'm A Puppy Dog

[thepnutgallery]

Monday - Frickin sinus issues, which started to make a comeback at rehearsal on Sunday, stormed in full force on Monday. Ugh. Very busy thereat. I also had my consultation for laser hair removal, except that American Laser Centers has raised their prices 3-4 fold in the past 6 years. I'm not negotiating from that perspective, especially since I'm not REALLY looking to spend that kind of money. Also, was a good boy and stopped by TJ's to pick up stuff for the swap. if only TJ's didn't use "food glaze" on their chocolate covered items! I still managed to get a goodly amount of stuff. All I need now are Tings, and whatever Aimee would like to send, and I'm set! Chatted briefly with Anthony while I was there - I couldn't tell if he had something to say that he was hedging on, or if he was just waiting for me to leave. Back at home, I was going to make gravy, but made broth instead, and took a nap. Woke up when Ken called. He'd just gotten out of the Beatles/Cirque show, and was going to party with some of the girls from the convention, but had lost them, so was going to party on his own. I pretty much figured that meant he was looking to hook up, but was waaay too sick to think about it. I walked around the apt and talked to roommate Anthony for a few minutes, then took a Tylenol PM and slept through the night.

Tuesday - Still hadn't set the alarm, but woke up in time anyway. Then decided to sleep longer, and possibly stay home from work. Got into work about an hour late, but no one said anything. I took an emergen-C before I left, and kept my energy mostly up throughout the day. Got a LOT done by the end of it. Just enough time at home to get cleaned up and clean the room before heading off to get Ken. He told me about his trip - he had indeed hooked up with a couple, and bottomed for one of them, sucked the other off a bit. He told me! I was kind of surprisingly nonplussed by this - might have helped that I got to tell him about my hook up from last Monday at the same time. When I did it, I thought we had an arrangement where he didn't want to know, and decided once I found out otherwise to tell him as soon as he stepped out again. In any event, I was totally right - I will get used to him hooking up, and I will get used to doing the same. Back at home, he ate chips, I had a bell pepper, and we cuddled on the couch for a bit. He kept pushing on my tummy with his face, and my tummy kept gurgling..this should have been a warning to me when he suggested sex, but I didn't want to ruin the mood, and I figured it had only been a couple hours. Sex was good, if not 100% to my liking. Nothing too bad, but it upset me plenty. Game was cancelled for the night (which I didn't find out until I called Michael), so I really had no idea what to do with my evening. I made us dinner (Indian chickpeas and rice), which was waay too spicy for me to enjoy, and we watched the Presidential results come in. I was SUPER snuggly - kind of surprised at how much I had missed him the past couple of days. I'm sure being sick was part of it. A gent named Brian from Vegas sent a text while we were watching - a gent Ken had apparently met at White Party last year....he didn't say anything else, but I wonder if they didn't fool around. Anyway, Justin was back in town, so we headed over there around 8 to watch American Idol....or as much of it as I could stand, which was the first two performances. Back at home, I got cleaned up, read some PPK stuff, but was really really tired. Turned off the computer, ate a bunch of oatmedough, but also did push ups and crunches, so it's not so bad. Ken came home around 10:30, having watched Idol and then "License to Wed"....punishment in and of itself, that movie.
Snuggling was the best it's been in a while. He spooned me, I spooned him...most importantly, he reached for me those times I woke up away. He had a nightmare at one point...something about me hurting him....but I held him, told him it was okay, and it was.
