This week was nice even though I worked the dreaded 2 AM shift. I think I was a little more prepared for it this time, and even though I didn’t get enough sleep and my stomach bothered me all week since I was living on coffee, I still had a very good week. It helped having Memorial Day off, which make the weekend longer and the work week more manageable.
Sunday was pleasant and relaxing. After staying up latish the night before, Kelly and I slept in before finally venturing out for a shower and food. We collected a Nikki and after some tent snuggles with her Kelly and I wandered around lost in the woods until we found a cold creek for naked swimming (well, wading and cooling off, at least). That night we cooked food by the fire and watched sexy dancers while listening to drumming.
Monday Kelly and I had breakfast with Nikki and waited out the rain before packing up our tent and heading back to civilization. Kelly and I set the tent back up in her garage to dry and then I went over to Rockit Ma’am’s for dinner. The high probability that it would continue raining led us to cancel our cookout plans and just go out for food. After we ate I went back to her house to nap since I had to go be at work at 2 AM.
Tuesday when I got off work I went back to Rockit Ma’am’s to sleep. She woke me up with delicious homemade chicken burgers for lunch and then put me right back to sleep for the rest of the day. When I woke up I got in the shower and went to pick up Nikki for dinner. Nikki and I went out for cheap yummy Italian food and then back to my apartment to snuggle and relax. Unfortunately at 1 AM I had to drop her back off at her place and go into work.
Wednesday I was incredibly tired at work and yet when I got home I had trouble sleeping. Around 6 PM I gave up and headed out to meet Stsm, who is a derby fan interested in polyamory. Stsm and I met at Panera and when that closed we moved to Steak n Shake to continue our conversation. She’s very interesting and I greatly enjoyed talking to her. After dinner I went to Kelly’s to nap before work.
Thursday I made some time to MUX, and while the evening started off slowly, by the end of the night the place was rockin’.
Weavah returned as
Optimus Prime (yay!), and I got to run scenes with him,
Jetfire,
Katie,
Sci-Fi,
Spike,
Snoop,
Techno-Viper 88, and
Temera. It was crazy-busy at times, but a lot of fun. We’re planning another event Monday after our TP meeting, so I’ll have to run home after work to attend that. Cool!
Yesterday after work I went to Kelly’s to nap but of course couldn’t really sleep once I was there. When Kelly escaped work we went out to the new Chinese buffet by her that’s really good to take advantage of their grand opening prices while they last. Kelly passed out soon after we got back to her house, but even though I only got about four hours of sleep now I’m not really tired. I’d better sleep, though, so I can drive tomorrow.
This weekend should be fun. Tonight I’m going to the BHRG bout in Bloomington with Rockit Ma’am and then driving down to Evansville to see Mira and celebrate my re-start anniversary with her. Mira just moved into a new apartment, so it will be cool to see her new place and maybe help her break in all the rooms unpack. It’ll be nice to have a place to stay now when I go visit her in E’ville.
Have a good weekend, all!
and emptiness has its solace
in that there's nothing left to take
