She asked me if I was ok with letting go of my apartment? Letting go of the freedom to 'get away' to my place if I wanted to. I said I was afraid of the move-in, but was ok with it. Pam too is afraid, and we've discussed that with each other. Pam says she's not as good at starting up those intimate-feelings conversations. But once I start them and make 'safety' primary, she is quite good at going there with me. That is one of the most important things to me in a relationship now, and it's so good to have that with her.
Julie is back in Miami this morning, and will be back home towards late afternoon. She's had a really nice time, and I hope she got a chance for a *most* well deserved bit of relaxation.
She asked me to wash the dogs if I got the chance. But I'm just not enough of a dog-person to do that yet :). Patches has been great this time around. And Bessie, poor thing, is a sweetie. Each morning when she went outside for her morning consitition, I would follow it with a good brushing out of her undercoat - Wow that's a lot of hair!!!! I think she really liked it, and she seemed to be happier when I'd come and go. I also swept most of the floor at Julies place this morning and washed up the dishes to try to make it so she didn't come home to a complete mess of work. If she wants to wash Bessie (and this morning, I agree that she definitely needs it), I'd be happy to help her do it. But with Bessie in the condition she is in now and Julie not present, I don't think I want to do it myself. Julie knows how much to push Bessie, what her wimpers mean, and how much she can take. I don't.
