A lazy summer Sunday. 06/16/02
Okay, so I am not being vigilant about posting frequently. Not procrastinating, but maybe I won't feel the need to put anything down in words all that often, or have the opportunity to do so.
The amount of time I spend with Steve, and the way we spend our time together, feels more balanced lately. Some good conversation, cuddling & lovemaking, long walks, shopping, movie-watching, book-reading, or food-consuming times. And enough time spent in separate pursuits that I miss him when we're apart but I am also glad to get a chance to enjoy things that don't include interacting with him, without feeling like I'm ignoring him.
I am realizing that when I write here, it doesn't really matter if it makes sense, if I'm being grammatical, if it's entertaining or intelligent. But years of writing letters, research papers & essays, message-board posts, etc. have put me in the habit of trying to compose "properly". Not feeling obligated to do so is liberating.
We went on a long hike in the forest on Saturday, then out for Mexican food and margaritas. Today has been a lazy day -- breakfast at a local cafe with Steve and his brother, then they went to visit their parents for Father's Day. I've been websurfing and gardening, with spurts of dancing around or reading Calvin & Hobbes books.
