I think I'm just happy
I want a nice watch, and a cell phone, and a day spa package, and some new bras, and MY FUZZY SLIPPERS ON MY FEET RIGHT NOW. But, sadly, the slippers are at home. And I am not. *sigh*
This morning I went with Ma to drop off Nana at daycare. We had breakfast at Milton's deli in Del Mar. I had a bacon and cheddar omelet with sliced tomatos. It was excellent. This evening Gramps took us out to dinner at the Chinese place here in town. I had Kung Pao Four Flavor, which has beef, pork, chicken and shrimp in it. LOTS of meat. Yum!
Saw Jimmy last night. We had a lovely dinner at The Packing House. He had the seafood platter and I had prime rib. With a shrimp cesar salad to start. Decadent! At dinner, I told him how I had an insight and finally realized what he'd been trying to tell me the night before, and he said, "That sounds like a good sign for the future." :-)
Then we went for a walk down Main Street. Some of the shop windows had very nice holiday displays. After that, we headed down to a little bar in the neighborhood. Couldn't think of much else to do on a Thursday night in Fallbrook. He had water (he doesn't drink) and I had a glass of merlot. I'd had one with dinner, too, and the second glass was enough to get me a little inebriated. I was a giggling fool. Neither one of us was really into the scene, so we left and went back to his house.
As soon as we got there, I went to the bathroom and while I was gone he lowered the lights and put on a CD of his that I really like: Ottmar Liebert. Classical guitar music. I changed into my jammies and we crawled into bed and snuggled and talked. It was like nothing bad had happened. The most unusual thing about this situation for me is the lack of doubt. I sensed that our disagreement from the night before wouldn't matter the next day. Tonight he is jamming with the band, and while I miss him, I am not resentful of not seeing him tonight. That's also a nice change of pace for me.
I have a wedding to go to tomorrow, and he will be with his kids, but we may see each other after that. Also, my grandparents are going to be gone all day tomorrow and may spend the night up in Palm Springs. If so, I will have the house to myself (except for Ma ... *sigh*) and that means peace and quiet. Something I could direly use. Even though I got eight hours last night, and took a nap today, I still feel like I could sleep for a month.
A couple days ago, I took out a pair of these size 14 Venezia jeans that K. sent home with me a couple months back, so I'd have something to shrink into and wouldn't have to buy all new clothes every couple of months, and they fit perfectly. A little form-fitting still, but comfortable. It's nice to fit into a size 14 anything, even though I know that Lane Bryant sizes run a little big.
I still have to figure out what to wear to this wedding tomorrow. Maybe I should have bought that outfit I tried on yesterday after all; it would have been perfect. Also, I think I will skip down to the nail place tomorrow and see if they can fit me in for a quickie manicure, so I can look extra posh. It should be fun.
