Monday, Monday...

My poor baby has a cold, so I haven’t made much progress on the last post. We did, however, do a very neat thing that turned me on a lot this weekend, though it didn’t get me any closer to actually fulfilling my desires due to a modicum of overexcitement regarding the situation… I found it hot, but slightly unfulfilling. Practice makes perfect. Orpheus and I had a positive conversation or two on the topic, so I’ll take that as a good sign, and repress my inner Horse (Chinese hour/”secret” sign)/Cancer (Western Moon sign, or negative personality aspect,) for the moment. Moving on…

We had a wonderful weekend, despite several big changes in the Way Things Are. First off, my roommate Terra Firma’s (she is not actually named thusly, but her real nom is derived from the word for Earth, and she happens to be quite large,) sister has broken off her engagement, and seems to be living with us for the time being. This makes me nervous, Terra Firma edgy but willing to please, and Orpheus downright indignant on my behalf. It helps that he doesn’t like TF at all, and isn’t overly enamored of her sister, either. He has, however, been ok about being over despite their presence in the apartment, and hasn’t been unpleasant. Therefore am I happy. Another circumstance impacting enjoyment of the weekend was the fact that I had O flip my mattress after a lube-based incident necessitating a sheet change awhile ago. Now, the mattress feels like rocks, and neither of us got much sleep all weekend, despite the time change. However, we still enjoyed our time together. I had the day off from Dungeons and Dragons yesterday (Sunday), so we went to an environmental film festival (selectively!) downtown. Orpheus loves anime, and I’d never seen ‘Nausica,’ so we saw that… We also attended a screening of Disney’s ‘The Three Caballeros’ that went on just afterward, and was paired with a Canadian film from the ‘30’s on the subject of the migratory patterns of North American birds. Given the intertwined subject matter, rather apropos (if weird sounding on paper).

I’m left on Monday with a testy, sick Dragon in my bed, waiting for my return from work with baited breath and a nose full of snot. At work, I have another internal interview to brave, and am, as ever, horny as a monkey can possibly be. If all else fails, I may be forced to sleep with my brand new boss for brownie points, thus fixing most of my concurrent situations, though complicating the one I currently find to be most important. More later!
