04.19 Diary

10.00 up, feet on the floor...coffee and snack...  and a strong abdominal reaction to what I think is the teriyaki sauce from last night's dinner....  
And talking to Her, as She was getting ready.
This, by prior agreement, was Her (Satur)day with Stitch, and She had another Installation to attend at a different Lodge, and so... She was taking Stitch with Her.
Since it was 'open' and Stitch would be going in, She wanted him to dress 'nice'.    He was having a tantrum about it, like a ten year old might, and their bickering was so annoying, that I put my fingers in my ears so as to not hear it.
They finished, and he went and changed into 'something nice'... and they departed, around 12 or so.
I carefully went about some chores... carefully, I say, because my knee was still plenty tender from yesterday's fall... AND good-lord-help-me,  my bowels were still reacting in a very annoyed I-have-no-control sort of way.
I stripped the sheets off my bed, and got 'em in the wash, and put the top comforter in the dryer, with a dryer sheet, just to try to get some cat hair of it.
I schepped the stuff we brought in from my car, the previous night, out to the garage door.
I washed dishes and pots.
I emptied the dishwasher.
I had brought in three boxes of kitchen stuff of Hers from the garage to the dining room. I emptied one box, and put in the dishwasher, that which needed washing, and fired it up.
I got the quilt out of the dryer, put the washed sheets in the dryer, and put my load of darks into the wash.
The portable toilet in my El was half full of liquid ..and solid, and I emptied it and cleaned it.
I found my figurines.... poker playing dragons and other things...and unwrapped them, and put them in the glass curio cabinet in my room.
I cleared 90% of the junk off the front porch.... junk that had been there since we moved in.
I got my darks out of the wash, into the dryer.
I watered the trees and plants in the front yard.
I tested the vibrators in Her toy/picnic basket...and could not find even one that worked  with new batteries installed.
And I sat down with a snack of crackers, to rest my knee a bit.
They arrived home, about 3:30....
I accomplished my weekly reading of The Science of Mind.
And I got up, and went out the the dryer, and brought my darks in, and put it all away.
And I got the sheets and quilt on the bed.
I made my weekly phone call to my parents, while She listened, so She could chip in with an occasional "Hi Mom".
And I went out to the garage, to continue with my 'comic counting' project.
I uncovered my box of porno-books ...not picture magazines, but actual softcover books....
And I uncovered my box of my favorite comics... my Buffy the Vampire Slayer collection, and my run of The Inferior Five from 1968, and my complete run of  "Not Brand Ecch" from 1967 to 1969.
 (No, I don't STILL have this from 1967 or 1968,  the ones I had are LONG gone;  I bought these to rebuild those collections,  about fifteen years ago.)
Back in the house..... and I saw, once I opened the dishwasher, that we would have WAY more coffee cups than places to put them....
So I commenced a project of installing hooks hanging down from the base boards of the cupboards...until there were enough hooks for all the cups....
I was just wrapping that up, when She came in, fixin' to prep dinner for Stitch, Herself ..and then me.
Once I had dinner on a tray,  She and I went on into El...
And turned on the t.v.
And watched multiple episodes of The Big Bang Theory,  until we were 'caught up' to the present.

Afterwards, She started watching "Goodfellas' which I tried to ignore ..and sleep...but was not very successful.
I think it was 0100 at lights out... not really sure.....

from My Affirmations:
 I will please Her and do everything I can to make Her feel appreciated for the beautiful woman that She is.

from My Manifesto:
 When I am with Her, I will ask permission before leaving the room, I will explain where I am going, and why.
