Recovering...

Recovering after a long birthday party for David. It was his 40th on Saturday. He seemed to have great fun. Sometimes I marvel at the fact that he’s stayed with me for so long. I’m not an easy person to live with, God knows.

**Stops. Thinks for a moment.**

That was an understatement!

His life changed so much when we got together. He wasn’t even out yet. He got “outted” as my boyfriend. I remember how afraid I was that it would all be too much for him and I would lose this gorgeous Canadian. He has learned to cope well. I can be just furious and ready to storm out of an interview, or photo shoot, or a venue, ranting like an idiot, and David will be positively serene in the corner.

When I met him, I had been spoiled and famous for a long time. I was also trying to kick decades long addictions to… **Counts on his fingers. Gets frustrated. Gives up.** Use your imagination. David taught me what it’s like to enjoy being alone or just being with one person and not ten in a room.

**Stops. Glances in mirror. Grimaces.** I’m getting so old! I need botox! I need Valium!….

But all I really need is David.

And maybe a little botox….
