Beer for my Horses
Back from the playa now and I think I gained at least 5 pounds out there. At least thats what It looks like as I sit in my chair typing this.
So lets catch up all the way back to the day before I left for the desert.
I was at work and Glenn walked in the door. I looked up at him and said Sir, do you have an appointment. He had a sad look on his face and I could instantly tell something was wrong. Well that and it was 4:45 and he was at my work. He said he had been let go from his work. Completly blindsided in fact. He then went on to tell me what had transpired in the last few hours. He also commented that Karma was a bitch.
He let me know that him and some of his coworkers would be going out in ballard and that I was welcome to join them.
With him losing his job, that also means I lost all my medical benefits. So I'm trying to figure out what I can do now in the mean time. Cause I need to get my annual pap soon.
So anyway. Off work and off to the bar. I sit next to glenn and listen as the guys talk about what the hell happened. Glenn and I actually held hands at some points during the night and it was a mutual handhold.
As we were all taking off for our homes at the end of the night, one of his coworkers and a friend of ours gives me a big hug and says, "It was so nice to see you two together again as you look so good together, give him time and keep an open mind and he will do the same".
So glenn and I walk off to our side of town. I asked him on the walk home wether he told me first or the girlfriend first. He said he told me first and was very glad I was there for him when he needed me.
He was a bit weepy that night and the next morning. Yes I spent the night at his place.
I weighed myself the next morning and it said 148.6. Which was my goal weight for the playa.
We then got up and came over to my place to sleep some more, cause there is construction going on across the street from his house. As i was packing up more and more of my stuff he come up behind me and wraps his arms around me. Turns me around and kisses me so passionatly and deeply it caused my head to spin. Later as he was holding me so tightly in his arms, a huge smile across his face, so much his face was just glowing. I asked, why are you so happy? He says, "Cause I've finally found what I was lookng for" We went for teriyaki for lunch and got my rental car and a few other errands.
I get some other stuff done after lunch and head over to his house to pick up a few last minute things. I said to him, I know your in a really weird head space right now due to the job thing, and I know that nothing that transpired over the last 24 hours changes anything between us." I went on to say "But I'm glad I we were able to help each other out today" (he saved me from a few severe panic moments as I was getting all the stuff togther and panic about the upcoming drive) I also said that I hope that he takes what our friend said to heart and that he does keep an open mind about us and that I hope that my helping him meant something to him.
With that, I gave him a hug, he kissed me 3 quick times and I got in the packed car and headed to portland at 6:30. I arrived in portland approx 10pm, I got stuck in a bunch of traffic heading south.
I kept a journal for a couple days while I was on the playa. I will be typing what little of that I have in soon. Then I will try to recap the rest of the week.
