Note: This entry was written three weeks ago, so though all of it is still relevant, the overtime part is outdated and no longer a concern….
It’s Sunday. I don’t have to be to work til 9 this morning so I have a little time to myself. I know I have been remiss in submitting entries to this blog but there really has been so much going on in my life, it leaves little time to write. Right now, the question is do I want to work overtime next weekend? The money (always a prime concern) is good, but does 14 hours really make that much of a difference? If, and that’s a big if, I get any incentive this month at all it will be on the next cheque and experience has taught me that if you have both on one cheque, one almost cancels the other out. But that’s the pay for Marco’s and my Toronto trip.
Speaking Toronto, I am really looking forward to spending some time away with Marco. Things have gotten so much better since I moved, with him coming over just to watch tv and knowing that he feels comfortable here. Even Rachel, somedays, seems to be coming around to understand that there really is a relationship here. The only problem is that with Rachel not working and never going anywhere, we never really have the time or opportunity to make love in my bed, taking our time and then just being able to kind of bask in the afterglow so to speak. The living room floor has become our bed and the only basking that is done is after we are fully clothed again. I don’t blame Rachel, this is her home and I’m sure it will take a long time before she is comfortable with Marco being in my bed, but it’s something to hope for…
Don’t get me wrong, I want to do other things in Toronto as well. I’m really looking forward to going to see Sarah Harmer and I’d like to go to some of the museums. It’s funny how now I am more aware of the things that I’ve always wanted to do, and actually taking the steps to do them. Marco got me started with the tickets to the symphony and now I want to start doing the things that I want to do. I don’t want to do them because they’re pretentious, I just want to experience more of life than I have up to this point. There are still so many things out there that I haven’t seen or done.
