The past couple of days have been relatively uneventful, which I think I needed. Tuesday, I was still tired from travel and having bodily time-zone confusion. I worked rather late, chatted with Oona on my bike ride home, and then had a taco date with Rider. We went to the only place around here...

It is helpful, thanks. I do think that part of what upset me about the situation was that it felt like he was kind of cavalierly saying "well you have somewhere else you could sleep other than home, so why don't you go do that rather than disrupt my plans?" It made me feel kinda rejected from my...

Yeah, I think it's really cool how some people here can do that! I respect the shit out of everything that goes into it. I don't really think it'd work for Dustin, though. The nights we're apart chafe him really bad. He says it'd be different if I were traveling for work, or something...

Sorry to hear about your breakup and heartbreak. :( I fear that I am headed toward the same thing, but I'm going to make the most of it while I can.

Ha, yeah. I tried to tell myself when I got here that I was done moving because I really do love it here, and always have. And I can't seem to stay in any one place for longer than a few years, which was getting exhausting. If I can find a way to continue to live here (or, at least, nearby)...

There was just a . . . we'll call it a "poly glitch." My nights this week with Dustin were supposed to be tonight, Friday night, and Saturday night. Usually I wouldn't give him both weekend nights, but he's leaving for the Caribbean with his family Sunday and I'm not going to see him for nearly...

Still, sounds a hell of a lot better than what I have. The envy persists. You should totally take some time off since you have it!

With this . . . I believe that this is why I had such an intensely hard time with the Kelly thing. I mentioned it to Rider at the time, but he kind of pooh-poohed it away with how he and I were more compatible than the two of them in a bunch of other ways. But Rider's and Kelly's kinks matched...

Dude. Can I come work with you? Seriously, I've been at my job for nearly 6 years and technically get only 10 days PTO with not even being allowed to take unpaid when that is up. That includes vacation, sick, and personal days. They made an exception for me this year for my honeymoon and "let...

Ha, yeah, that would be a dilly of a pickle, for sure. But I'm pretty sure the event in question was about a week too late for that. I have noticed, though, another weird "energy" thing that I don't think I've mentioned here yet. It's a new phenomenon to me, happening only in the past month or...

What ultimately became of the situation, if you don't mind sharing? This is a good idea. I don't have a whole day free, due to work, but I could take an evening to myself, at least, and go somewhere unusual to me and have a little space-taking adventure.

( . . . continued from previous) Chapter 3: Rider’s Weekend Rider had a good time while I was gone. Annie (not to be confused with the unfortunately similarly-named Anna, who I didn’t know would resurface when I named Annie) and her partner picked Rider up from the airport and took him to my...

( . . . continued from previous) We crossed a bridge into the town where he grew up. He started pointing out landmarks to me—stores and things that used to be other things. Finally we came to a county park. The sun was starting to go down and the sky was awash in the most beautiful colors...

( . . . continued from previous) We had to wake up early to catch Dustin’s niece’s riding lesson. She had asked us to come watch and meet her horse. We got coffee beforehand and showed up to the stable, which was a few miles away. The countryside was so beautiful! There were still fall colors...

( . . . continued from previous) Chapter 2: Dustin’s Home State The drive from my sister’s house to Dustin’s sister’s house would normally take about three hours, but there was a bit of traffic, so it was closer to four hours. I left Rider at the airport at noon, and I arrived near four...

So many things. Let’s see how many I get to before my posting energy peters out. Chapter 1: Hometown This chapter of the journey had three main themes: hanging with fam, processing with Rider, and missing Dustin. I spent nearly the entire time at my sister’s house. Rider and I did duck out...

We worked the Anna stuff out—had some good, long conversations. I'm over it. Thanks for the suggestions.

I'm sitting at my sister's place drinking coffee. Between flying the red-eye and the three-hour time difference, plus still kinda not being used to the daylight savings change, my body has little to no idea what time it is. I thought I'd sleep on the plane, and I did a little, but I spent most...

( . . . continued from previous) I'm not in the greatest headspace today because of something that Dustin and I talked about over the weekend. He said he thinks he wants to take most of our travel time over the next few weeks as "a break." He wants to still call me on Thanksgiving, and he still...

Thursday night with Rider was good. We had fun at the retro bar. I got a little overly drunk. Rider got more specific with me about his friends that might actually be interests, and it sounds like there are 4 or 5 of them. We played some music when we got back to the house, and we had some...
