Right You Are

My friend, Genny, posted a comment that "that guy" must have returned home as scheduled as I hadn't posted anything for nearly 48 hours! LOL Give that lady a prize!

The illicit cell phone in my pocket began to vibrate about 10:15pm Tuesday night. I was in the nurses office. I saw it was him, said I was taking a break, and went outside to call him back.

He told me that he was just getting into Columbus, where we are conservative. His friends had apparently been giving him a bad time for morphing into a conservative during exile. "Conservative is good," he said to me and laughed.

Great. I have a country and western music liking, conservative leaning, sixteen years younger African boyfriend while struggling to maintain my punk sensibilities and be the grandma in the minivan. Some days, it just ain't easy being me.

He queried if he was going to see me after I got off work at 11pm. I reminded him that I had offered the week before to come molest him upon his return home and he had declined. Apparently, he had misunderstood and thought I had said I wanted to harass him upon his return home. "Well, I want to molest you," was his reply.

Upon my return to the office, the other nurses (and the eavesdropping coverage assistants from their cubicle) got a good laugh over the molestation conversation. The other nurses were, however, glad that I had attained "official girlfriend status" as evidenced by his phone call the previous day. Maureen wanted to see pictures from the ensuing activities while Nikita declined and said she didn't want to see any pictures on my phone unless it was of the grand kids. LOL

After showering, feeding and watering the quadrupeds, losing my phone and having to search for it for 20 minutes, I finally made it to his apartment at 12:30. The air conditioning had broken while he was away, and it was absolutely sweltering inside. It had to be close to 100 degrees due to the outside temperature having been in the 90s. I was home by 2am due to having become nauseous and ill from the heat.

The heat was absolutely oppressive, but the conversation was good. The more we talk, the more he amazes me.....

The boys are falling asleep, and I think I may follow their lead and take a nap. It has been a long few days with too little sleep.
