Hello Blog.

It’s me.

I know it’s been awhile–fell down the stairs at home (don’t worry just bruised body and ego), been traveling for work, and spending time with Boyfriend.  I met with a new licensed medical provider late last week (thanks to the kind people who reached out with recommendations and support–you are the bestest and never forget it).  I like her better already.  She’s going to chat with the old one and we’re meeting again Friday.  I have a fear that she will turn on me, but I think (hope?) that’s irrational paranoia.

Anywho,  things with Boyfriend are good and I’m quite happy.  We’re going away this weekend together on our first trip.  Perhaps it will provide interesting blog fodder, but to be honest, I sorta hope it doesn’t (sorry).  In the meantime, I’ve been thinking quite a bit about what I want from a man and a relationship and I’ve had some inspiration from the Internet.

First, off there is this couple:

Vacation!!!

Hello Readers!  How are you two doing?

Ah.  It’s funny because it’s true.

Anyways, I was on a staycation last week and tried to stay as unplugged as possible.  Ahhhhh.  So, sorry for not posting for a while (I’m not actually sorry).

First order of business:  It has been decided that the possible Man TBD formerly known as Him #2 shall be referred to as “Boyfriend.”  Creative, I know!  Boyfriend has a dog, who is my dog boyfriend.  The cats are not pleased by the smell of slobber and they show their disapproval by sleeping a lot and occasionally and furiously attacking catnip toys.  Ok, so, the cats don’t care.

Galentine’s Day and Valentine’s Day

It was an awfully busy week with Galentine’s Day and Valentine’s Day.   One of these holidays involved exchanging gifts with a three course meal at a fancy restaurant and the other one was Valentine’s Day.

I have yet to watch Parks and Recreation (though it perpetually lives towards the beginning of my Netflix queue), but I understand the show officially launched Galentine’s Day, as a holiday for ladies to celebrate with ladies.  One night lask week, I met up with a wonderful group of gals for a great dinner (it started with fried cheese and ended with a giant bowl of chocolate mousse…nuff said). We also exchanged gifts such as: socks that said “smitten kitten,” owl themed chocolates, and sparkly stickers.  It was an evening that embodied true love.

Meet the Parents

I have been awfully busy lately with work, Him #2, and interviewing for new jobs.  Job interviews are an awful lot like first dates, which for me means that I try to limit my awkward levels to a socially acceptable degree and generally leave feeling it went ok, only to be ghosted or rejected by impersonal electronic communication.    OH WELL!   I’m in the process of setting up another one this week, so fingers crossed!

Anyways, I unexpectedly met the parents of Him #2 this weekend, but in order to set the scene properly, we have to go way back in time to high school.  I promise this is relevant.
