One of our foster cats is suddenly not able to stand without falling over. Her temp is normal, she will eat and drink when we spoon feed it to her, and she’s peeing and pooping. Her owner thinks waiting and seeing what happens is the best course of action, until he can get her to the regular vet next week. I am cautiously okay with this. He came over last night and is coming over again today in a couple of hours. DarkKnight has bathed the kitty twice now, as when she goes to the restroom, it’s just wherever she is laying. She tries to move herself but things are not working to let that happen. After she got washed this morning and I fed her, she fell asleep purring in my arms. The internet says this should pass on its own after 24-48 hours and I hope that is the case!
Like we needed more stress here, gah!
I had two dates yesterday, and it was an interesting experience. One was with a guy from OKC that I started talking to pre-Covid. He has always popped in and out of my messages, but because of quarantine, nothing came of it. Now that we are both vaccinated, we decided to finally see if there was a spark in person.
There wasn’t. At least not on my end. He was cute, fit, intelligent. Seriously - I have never had a guy ask me such probing and smart questions on a first date in my life! We met for ice cream on Carroll Creek in Frederick - it was First Saturday, which means they have stores having sales, little art booths and live music. We didn’t go and see anything together though, we just sat and talked for like an hour and a half. It was too crazy hot to walk out into the sun!
Also, I was the one who suggested First Saturday and he told me no at first. So then I texted SirGalahad, my ex boyfriend, to see if he wanted to hang out. He did, but then this other guy texted me back and said he was going to go after all. I had to tell him I had made other plans! After some confusion, we decided he and I would meet up first.
So we did, and then SirGalahad messaged to ask when he should come. I told him, but the message showed as unread, so we were surprised when SirGalahad showed up. Things were quick and awkward as the other guy left - I gave him a hug and later texted him to apologize about that.
I think it was awkward because SirGalahad sort of knows him, since they both had the same FWB several years ago, and this other guy knows about the breakup SirGalahad had last year with his girlfriend. He actually told me that he saw SirGalahad’s ex and her cheating partner making out at a BBQ last Monday! So it’s weird.
Anyway, I am thinking that I will keep chatting with this dude and hopefully schedule a second date to see if I was wrong. If there’s no spark, I’m going to let it go. I’m not really searching for anyone to see right now since my life is chaos.
With SirGalahad though - whew! We literally talked the entire day. We discussed our past relationships (since I dated him twice), our most recent breakups, our lives, our disappointments, our dreams. It was like the best reconnection I could hope for, and I wasn’t even really reconnecting for dating reasons.
He bought me a nice lunch, and we walked around First Saturday briefly. I was able to visit my friend’s vintage furniture business, which had moved recently. It was good to see her! We talked a little bit - we hadn’t seen each other because of quarantine but kept up with each other on Facebook.
Afterward, we went back to SirGalahad’s house. I had brought a bunch of kitten supplies for his new little one, and a name was finally decided on (we had been messaging about it, and MisterMoonbeam suggested MadMartigan, and that has now stuck. Picture of Marty is below!) SirGalahad actually had a conference call for work at 6 pm, so when he went up to his office to do that, he grabbed my hand to stand me up, and then he kissed me passionately, before going upstairs. (The kitten is quarantined in the basement at the moment from the other cats.)
Like 20 minutes later, SirGalahad comes back and the call was canceled. So we talked some more and then went to dinner at a Mexican restaurant. Again, more discussion, and then back to his place because we hadn’t gotten enough talking done. Lol Honestly, I am not sure there is a subject on the planet we haven’t been over!
At 10:15, I told him he should walk me out to my car now, if he wanted to take a while to say goodbye. There we made out like a couple of teenagers until a neighbor pulled into the parking lot, so then I left. (He owns a townhouse, so there’s a shared parking lot.)
I am definitely feeling butterflies and glitterbrain. I am horny AF for him and that feeling is mutual. He told me he is going to urgent care today to get an STD panel run. Lol However, my life is still chaotic, so I am not sure when we will be able to see each other again. I will write more later, so I can get down everything we talked about.
