Talk About the Passion

Listening to: REM - Murmur

Monday both R and I had the day off and we decided to drive up north to visit his friend John. John and his brothers are like brothers to R, they've known each other so long and before they all moved to this area. John is my ex-coworker who I knew way before R and who I loved working with. I always told my youngest sister she'd marry John's youngest brother because all the brothers were such cool, intelligent, and attractive guys.

We first visited my parents and sister in Potter Valley before my sis had to head to work. I wasn't sure I wanted them all to meet, but I knew it was something I should do at some point since it could help straighten my mind. It means something to me if my family doesn't like someone I like, and vice-a-versa. If they don't click, it's a sign of me being delusional or unrealistic. I know that from experience.

I was also a little wary because it bugs me when a guy I like is flirted with by my sisters and two out of three of my sisters have habits of doing that. My oldest sister and I are more likely to just keep our distance from our sister's partners. Maybe because we're older and we've learned we don't need to ooze interest and sexual energy at every male in range. Maybe we're experienced with the trouble that can be caused.

After a chat and some snacks my mom fixed (even though my parents are fasting), my sister left for work and we went to meet John at his brewery/restaurant for lunch. He's the kitchen manager and head chef of a place that uses 100% organic ingredients. Even the condiments, spices, meat, and beer.

I don't break promises to myself so I didn't drink and I didn't have the grass-fed beef burger because of the wheat bun. Maybe next month.

After getting back here, R gave me an incredible massage with arnica lavender massage oil, watched some of the Inside Deep Throat documentary, and then he had to get home to get ready for work early. It made me crazy.

I saw him for about 20 minutes last Friday while I was doing errands and he was passing through, he called and met me for a walk, and he's been calling more often. He's planning to come over after work today and I'm planning on trying not to think anything of it all.
