Kevin's Hetero MFM Poly-Fi V

When I got up today it was raining out there ... but I swear it was below freezing. Now the rain has stopped, but I worry maybe the standing water will turn into ice. It's somewhat foggy out there. We are wrapped in a world of white.
 
Last night, it warmed up and the snow started melting, fast. There's barely a few clumps of it anywhere remaining. So it's green outside once again. And we've had some more rain. Hopefully we'll have more days like today, more "normal" Washington winter days. The season has been rather abnormal up until now. Grrrrr ...
 
Today there has been some rain and some wind. I hope it's not blowing in a cold front. Tomorrow being Saturday, Snowbunny will be off and she and I will do stuff together. We pretty much do everything according to a weekly routine, even encounters which occur on Saturdays at oh roughly an hour before noon. That's once a week folks, which is plenty for both of us. My libido isn't very strong these days, though that was a different story going back a number of years.
 
Actually, once a week feels like a rockin' good sex life to me. Maybe occasionally twice if we have the chance, but mostly Zen and I are weekly, depending on his work schedule.

And that's another thing too, I think that for people who don't have very synchronous work hours, getting some sexytime in once, maybe twice, a week, is pretty good.
 
Heh, yeah, I can easily skip a week or three and it doesn't bother me. Sometimes I hear people panicking when their sex life drops down to less than once a day, to like only twice a week and I think, "Weird." Not saying there's anything wrong with it, but it makes me think maybe my routine sticks out a little.

There was a time when I considered skipping every other day a sacrifice. And I would have gladly gone for multiple times per day. But I don't know what happened, either Zyprexa made me lose interest, or NRE died off, or I got older. Or some combination of those things. Nowadays I have this thing where before sex commences, I feel like I won't be able to get aroused. That concern goes away after sex commences, but it still makes me nervous beforehand. Which makes Snowbunny feel bad, but what can I do, I can't help it. I try not to draw attention to my nervousness. But Snowbunny and I have always been very honest with each other, so if she asks, I admit it. It's not the end of the world; just a glitch.
 
The weather hasn't been bad for February. We've been getting a considerable amount of Sun. Yesterday the three of us ate out at Don Juan's Kitchen in Tenino. It's possibly our favorite restaurant in this area, certainly our favorite Mexican place. They have a fresh guacamole that's to die for, and a veggie wet burrito that I love.

I think Brother-Husband has gone back to the sleep center (where he did his sleep study). I think they are going to set him up with a CPAP machine (Continuous Positive Airway Pressure) which will help his breathing while he's asleep and reduce (eliminate?) snoring.

After he gets back I think he is planning to do some yardwork. My job for today is to transfer dinner into the crock pot and set it on bake. I'll do that in about 3½ hours.
 
Oooohhhh, I have always wanted to visit Wolf Haven International in Tenino! If (when) I ever make it there, I'll have to remember your favorite Mexican restaurant :)
 
Get some guacamole while you're there, trust me. :)

Brother-Husband had to do another sleep study last night; that is, he had to sleep at the sleep center, with all the electrodes hooked on. On his first sleep study he didn't get much sleep, and took a long nap after he got home from that.

I had too much cannabis yesterday, and maybe I could sleep some more right now. I'm a bit woozy.
 
It warmed up even more out there, and we had wind and rain and overcast skies. Nothing much to report today ...
 
Snowbunny was feeling under the weather yesterday evening, so she wanted to eat out at a place where she could order some pho. I'm not a pho fan, but there were other things I could order on the menu. So, that worked out. Brother-Husband opted to stay home, so Snowbunny ordered something for him takeout. I think today's dinner will be taco salad, Snowbunny will make it. I am hoping she'll be feeling better. I know a bug has been going around at her workplace.
 
Brother-Husband has gotten home quite early, like before 3:30. Must have had very few deliveries to do today. Dinner tonight is leftover fish sticks plus something else, I'm not sure what. Yesterday Snowbunny seemed to be doing better, not so sick, but she had something of an earache, so, that's alarming.

Both of the cats have spent a good share of the day with me. They're in here with me now. Rainee is up on top of the bookshelves. I'll get her down at 5:00 at the latest. The automatic feeders go off at 5:15.
 
Snowbunny is officially sick. She had an ear infection and most/all of that has gone away, but her nose is drippy all the time and she's not feeling too hot. She did see a doctor and got an antibiotic for it. Not much she can do now except weather this thing. Luckily she has tomorrow off so that's one more day of reprieve.

Yesterday it came out that she's less than happy about how hard I am to talk to these days. She said it's to the point that it's hampering her ability to feel intimate with me. I'll definitely try to do better, I think I know where the root of the problem is occurring. There's not a lot of options though, our opportunities for communicating are limited. There's email, but I'm loathe to go there due to Windows 10's bullshit email program. Pardon my French.
 
I'm sorry Snowbunny doesn't feel well. I hope she gets better soon!

On the communication and intimacy thing.....can you text? Or write letters? Assuming verbal communication isn't a viable option?
 
I think verbal communication is my best bet, it's what I would prefer. Snowbunny always comes in my room to say hi when she gets home from work; I think that's where I am dropping the ball. We couldn't talk a long time as Brother-Husband would soon be home and there is dinner to prepare, but a little communication at that time would help and I think it's the problem's ground zero. I let myself get caught up in what I'm doing on the computer and I don't have much to say, but I could change that.

Snowbunny's still sick, but she said the worst is over. Last night she had a fever, and was just miserable on several levels. She had a few bites of dinner, and just didn't feel like eating any more. Today the fever has broke and she is able to eat, so, knock on wood.

I just now spent some time talking to her. Brother-Husband was in the bathroom so, I had the opportunity to talk to her one on one. It's a start anyway, and she recognized that.

Can you schedule time for that? We do, an hour a week where it's just chatter. Nothing life shattering to share? That's ok, we'll talk about politics, or the weather, or the latest TV show we watched, or a weird post on FB.... but for an hour each week the most important thing we do is talk to each other.
 
That's a possibility, although at first I think I'll try to be opportunistic, especially when Snowbunny gets home from work, and stops in my room to see me. Even 10 or 15 minutes of chat would help, and would add up as the week progressed. Saturday mornings constitute a chance to talk for about an hour, I'll try to take advantage of that as well.
 
Dammit, the cold weather is coming back. I heard it was gonna drop down to 20° on Friday, and that we were gonna get snow over the weekend. It's not fair, February is almost over, it should be warming up not cooling off. Besides, western Washington winters are supposed to be rainy, and no colder than 40°. :mad:
 
It's already snowing. Big clumps of snow. It's plenty chilly out there so I expect the lawn to disappear soon.

As of last night, Snowbunny was almost done being sick. Some tiredness, plus coughing up some chunks every once in awhile.
 
Well it didn't snow for long ... then the Sun came out and melted what little was on the ground. It's still cold out there, and I suspect we'll get pounded with snow tomorrow and Sunday.
 
I guess the weather people got it wrong. No snow yesterday and so far none today, although it is overcast. Yesterday was sunny, and the car thermometer said it was 43°. I thought it almost felt like 50°. I don't know if it's that warm out there today, but my sense is that we didn't get hit by the predicted cold snap.

Snowbunny is mostly feeling better, and wanted to go skiing today with Brother-Husband. However, he has sold a bunch of yard items (stone and wooden border units) and set today up as the day to turn them over to the guy. It's a ways away, so they have to drive too far away from the slopes, right in the middle of daytime skiing. There's nighttime skiing later on, but Snowbunny has to work tomorrow so that's not a good option. Snowbunny's kind of bummed about not skiing, but I suppose it's not the end of the world. If they had gone skiing, I would have stayed home. I'm not a fan of skiing.
