Punk did come and visit on Wednesday.
It was a platonic date.
Turns out he didn't feel quite well enough to have sex. But maybe it was for the best, since my son is here. It might've been a little awkward to have gone off to the bedroom.
As it was, miss pixi and Son and I were just starting to play a board game (Takenoko) when Punk got here. It's fairly new to us, and so we were all talking and advising each other on moves. Punk said he'd be on my "team," and sat next to me on the couch. Somehow I won the game by a landslide despite being more of a newbie to the game than either miss p or Son. Beginner's luck!
Then miss p and Son went to the kitchen to make a pie and the stuffing for dinner the next day. Punk and I sat on the couch a while... that is when he told me he didn't feel up to sex. I was disappointed of course. I'd been getting kinda horny sitting knee to knee with him during the game, and holding hands sometimes, plus he'd made a couple sexual innuendo jokes sotto voce to me as we played the game. We snuggled for a bit instead, and I got myself calmed down. Then we watched some youtubes of bands he liked from the 80s (punk bands like the Replacements, I like them too), and talked about various things for an hour or so. Finally we joined miss p and Son in the kitchen to chat with them as they cooked. It was a nice "family style poly" evening.
After Punk left around 10:30, my son said he liked him and thought he fit into our "pack" well. I was pleased he approved. Son hadn't met any of my lovers since I broke up with Ginger over a year ago.
So, all in all, it was good to have seen Nick one day and Punk the next! I had felt a little hole in my heart, 2 little holes, missing our connections.
We had our good friend over for Thanksgiving the next day. Also we watched my ex husband's dog for the day. It's his gf's dog, but she went to a different state for a week to be with her father and family. My ex h was going to spend Thanksgiving with our daughter at some friends of hers from her church, bless his heart. This doggie is spoiled and not used to being left for a day. So ex h came over around 10:30am with the dog. I was downstairs with one of my traditions, watching the Macy's parade, so invited him down, and we watched some of the parade together, and had a nice chat for an hour. (Looks like he may have a very hot lead on a new job. His last contract ran out in September, so I haven't been getting my alimony lately, just a part of his unemployment. So this was great news.) Since we were down in my main Pyrex storage area, he wanted to ogle my dishes. He expressed an interest in one kind of dish I had extras of, so I gave him one.
He came over again just as we were finishing dinner, and got to meet our semi famous transactivist disc golf champion friend. My worlds are colliding like mad on this holiday! lol I like my ex h, we are friends, and he is fun to talk to. He makes me laugh too, he is a funny guy. I am still glad I am no longer married to him though!
In the meantime, around 1:30 our friend arrived for the day. After I got the turkey in the oven later than usual (since our friend brought it), I had a nap, we watched half of Terminator 2, we made the side dishes, we ate. After cleanup, and after my ex h left, we all got pie and went back down to finish watching Terminator.
Yesterday we rested some, but it was so warm, miss pixi, Son and I also dragged our tired asses out to the wooded park our dog likes, for a nice hike. I have heard a warm November means a less snowy winter. I hope that's true! It was refreshing to walk after all the food.
Yesterday a nice alternative funny progressive interesting young man started messaging me on OKC. We chatted back and forth a couple hours in the morning and throughout the day. I have a good feeling about him. One of the "you may also like" people OKC put on his profile is Nick!! lol He lives near Nick, is a similar age, and is poly, etc. He has already suggested getting together, and I found out he has a week off, so maybe I can meet him quite soon. Once we meet, if we click, I will figure out a nickname. Since he contacted me, maybe he is really willing and able to see me on a regular basis. We will see!
