This past week has been a vacation of sorts...one involving cooking, cleaning, holing up in our tiny apartment and playing nurse for my lover. I don't realize how much Rae does around the house until he has to sit on the bench for a while. We found that I'm not as terrible at cooking as suspected. We worried about my cooking skills, thinking we would be eating grilled cheese sandwiches and spaghetti for 10 days. We did have some backups with friends and family bringing us meals, and that has been amazing.
The last few weeks have gone like this:
May 17ish - we've been together for a year. From the very first moment.
May 24 - graduate from Paul Mitchell
Weekend - work crack off to save $
May 29 - Rae's surgery
May 29 thru now - stay in apartment watching X-Files on Netflix, leaving only for doctors appointments and to take photos at Disco Bloodbath.
I'm waiting for my state board test date to come in the mail so I will know when I can start working. And I'm really excited about working! I'll be at Starlite Salon on 23rd Street in OKC. So close to my house I can walk to work!
I have been enjoying all these days with Rae, nothing between us save sleep. Every couple of days I get the dreadful pang that this will have to end because work is nearing, but every time a relief washes over me - I will never dread my job again. I'm starting something I love, an outlet for my soul. I can wear what I want, be who I am. *sigh* Yesssss.
Today will be another perfect day together. We were awakened by the thunder and rain. Had our coffee on the sidewalk under the tree until we got too wet. The sun sits back today, letting the clouds have their moment. Our blinds are open for the day, like our eyes, and hearts.
