Dear Aunt Flo arrived into town last night
She arrived a couple of days earlier than her scheduled visit. I guess she wanted to be here for the weekend; which works out in Karen's favor... although, not so much in mine.
But, I'm not going to sweat it. Aunt Flo being here doesn't quite have the same sting as it used to (for me, that is. Still no fun for Karen).
I'm not sure if it's something that I'm finally doing right in our relationship, or if Karen is just making it a priority to make more of a concerted effort to be affectionate towards me; but the past three weeks have been so incredibly AWESOME!
I actually feel like a man, and a human being, in our relationship again. I haven't felt that way in years. I feel like the woman I have missed for so long genuinely sees me, and cares for me again. It's so amazing that sometimes I don't know whether to scream from excitement, or cry from happiness.
But..., that's a whole other story, for another time. What I meant to get at, and got off on a tangent from saying, is that when you don't feel like you are neglected the other 21 days of the month, having aunt Flo show up to need attention of her own for 5 to 7 days, doesn't feel like cause for worry or stress.
It just means that these next 5 to 7 days are days where I need to give extra attention and focus to my Sweetie (especially on day 2), and look forward to when Aunt Flo leaves town again till next month.
(I hope I'm not jinxing myself here. These past three weeks really have been so incredible. I want to do whatever it takes to make every week just as good; for both Karen and I.)
