IN A BLINK
It is amazing how swiftly things can change in the blink of an eye. I didn’t give R an ultimatum. I didn’t have the heart to. I decided that this is the way things are. He is good to me, so I will just hang in there. Last night was the first time I had alone with him in a week.......Read More

REVISION
It was a brief moment of Christmas. Then reality hit. The woman from the company took her sweet old granny of a time getting the papers to him. We didn’t get to leave yesterday. The email finally came through yesterday afternoon. He called me angry as a wet cat. Not only would the......Read More

HOME AGAIN
We had a very nice time on our trip. We didn’t fight. I am still amazed we didn’t fight. We had a couple of moments of silence between us when we both ran out of stuff. But we didn’t fight. Joey and I couldn’t drive to the next county without fighting. R and I spent......Read More

THE RIGHT TO COMPLAIN
I do not have the right to complain. R is a wonderful man. He is very sweet and kind to me. I miss sex. In all of my past relationships we had sex 3-4 times a week. R and I started out much the same way. We are speeding up to the 4 month marker and I am lucky to get it once a......Read More

In the Closet
I pulled my car into the church parking lot. Maria was directly behind me. I hopped out hoping we might have the opportunity to talk before church started. A sigh of disappointment escaped my lips as I noticed her baby Donnie had parked his giant SUV in the lot beside us. Maria and I said......Read More

Fresh Meat
It has been 3 long months since we had the massive exodus in the office and Frankie and I have had the floor all to ourselves. It feels like a lifetime. We have, on occasion, decided that our work load was simply too stressful, and we have sat down and played cards for half a day. We have each......Read More

FRAGILE
It was a cold October day. The kind of day that reminds you winter is right around the corner. He was chopping wood. He was 43. The cold October wind picking up the edges of his flannel shirt. The sky was clear. Beautiful blue sky that seemed impossibly high- the way good fall skies always......Read More

Absence Makes the Heart Grow Fonder
This is not a phrase that I have particularly believed. I personally suck at long distance relationships. I’ve never managed to maintain a successful long distance relationship. I’ve always been drawn to the whole “out of site out of mind” way of thinking. Not that......Read More

Newbies
I felt rather insecure with our floor being so vacant. They didn’t replace Larry when he died. When Terry and Rob retired- they didn’t replace them either. Frankie and I had the floor all to ourselves for months. I was worried they would close our center down. I was worried......Read More

OUT OF PLACE
The sky was overcast, and the weather quite cold. The bright fall leaves stood out against the pale ashen sky. Winter’s chill slipped over our village swiftly. Before long the trees with their brilliant yellow, red and orange leaves were draped in a blanket of snow. It looks so out of......Read More
