I Have Become a Junkie

The SSM’s return home was a great little reunion. I met him at his apartment on Monday night with wine, cheese and fruit. He was very happy as the long flight had not provided him with any food. We had a very lovely night together and I stayed there to sleep. Well sort of. I had to get up really early to go home get ready for work and go to the dentist for 8am. Needless to say I was very tired at work yesterday. But I muddled through.

At some point in the afternoon I received a message from SSM asking what I was doing and informing me that he finally just got up. We emailed back and forth a few times and then he invited me over. I went to his place – which I was happy to see he had cleaned somewhat in the 12 hours since I had left and we hung out for a few hours. He had even bought ice cream which we shared in bed with the rest of the wine from the night before.

I had forgotten how addictive a new person can be, especially when they are receptive to your being there.

Today … no SSM, cold turkey for a whole 24 hours. I am going to be a productive member of my team at work and come home and cook dinner and tidy the house. But Thursday I am taking the afternoon off and we are spending a bunch of time together.

Hopefully I don’t get the shakes and sweats …
