Oh... I think he's been stalking me for some time. Like years. I just paid no attention because I had Mike, moving, starting over on my plate... and he had 2 years of 5 surgeries and all the complications. But in hindsight, I can see now what I didn't notice then - and what I find interesting, is that over the years, we have reached out to one another at various times for different things. He never pressed; just bided his time. And I frankly, wasn't available for different reasons over that time - but I instinctively knew he was a very nice man and he demonstrated that without presuming. I HAD had some fleeting "thoughts" but I didn't seriously entertain them.
When all the guys were scaring the crap out of me, about what could go wrong with the bobcat - it was Buck that convinced me I could master this. When I needed advice about this or that... he was able to explain it to me in a way that made me confident I could manage it. And when I got stuck or confused, he bailed me out and even SHOWED me what he was doing and why it needed to be done.
The sense I have, is that he's been lonely a long time and had about given up finding a partner that understands what kind of man he is and doesn't want to change that. My just being there and caring - is the most important thing for him. I think I can do that, without smothering him. He and I are the same species of human being, I think.
sKePTiKal:
Having fun this week Hops? Feeling better?
Hopalong:
Thanks, hon!
I'm better, though heartily sick of the chest monitor, which itches like fury and means I can only walk back and forth in the pool (just beneath-boob high). Maddening. And the heat's getting to me.
But...all is well with M. He seems to have calmed down a lot, I think maybe because he's feeling more secure with me. We're having dinner tonight.
The heat has been a brutal reminder of humans not governing themselves and I'm pretty depressed about politics.
Other than well, doing fine.
Went to visit my dying friend yesterday in a nearby city. M drove me and went to the museum while she and I had our visit. Sad and poignant but I'm glad I got to see her. On our own, M and I had fun...lunching at a great Greek place, walking in our favorite district, buying flowers for her from a lovely young man.
Will report more later...and check in about B. on your farm life thread.
Hugs

Sorry about your friend, Hops.
Politics depressing, I agree. Last night I dreamed I had to run for President, and really resented having to prepare for debates. Trump walked in, put his hand on the top of my head and squeezed hard.
I dropped down, aimed with intention, and punched him in the boys with an upper cut, using my knees. It bugged me all day...that Trump touched me.
I'm glad you're getting along with M.

Hopalong:
Oh but I'm so glad about your dream because of the way you touched HIM!!!
For all of us, that punch -- I thank you!
There is hope as long as everyone gets off their couches and votes!!!
Thanks for that image, I'll cherish it.
Hugs
Hops
