Friday Take Me Away

So last night ended badly too and was just the perfect capper to a crappy couple days. DA had decided he was going to get in his truck and meet me at my house after my rehearsal--suspended driver's license be damned! I was excited and told him I'd cut rehearsal off at 9p so I could meet him at my place at 9:30. I did so and I was racing home when he texted me that now his parents (!!!) were telling him he couldn't leave b/c they didn't want him taking the risk of driving. AAAAARRRRGHGGGGGHGH!!!!! I was pissed. Mainly b/c I had cut rehearsal short and didn't go out drinking w/my bandmates so I could get home and hang w/DA. Also I really needed him to come over and cheer me up and eat peppermint ice cream with me and hold me all night and keep me warm.

However--I tried a new thing. Instead of ranting and raving and saying some fucked up shit, I told DA I was pissed and that I needed to get off the phone so I could cool off. I did so, went home, drank 2 glasses of box wine, ate 5 bites of chocolate cake, and relaxed on the couch and watched tv and read a magazine. After about an hour I finally decided to call him and he answered by immediately apologizing, to which I accepted b/c I was cooled off enough to realize it wasn't him, it was his parents doing this. Also the box wine helped mellow me out a bit. And I also kept thinking of Stefano's Serenity Prayer advice. I was still a little pissed though! But not as much as I was. DA and I made plans for me to come over on Monday afternoon since I have a holiday from work. Also, I will have spent tonight, tomorrow night, and all day Sunday and Sunday night w/Stefano and surely I'll be able to make a graceful exit on Monday morning. B/c otherwise it's gonna be a good couple of weeks before DA and I can see each other again.

I cannot WAIT for tonight to begin the weekend of festivities w/Stefano! 1st thing we'll do tonight is go see our friend's blues band (incl. a really hot drummer that I dated very briefly years ago--that'll be interesting to see him) at the Big Easy, where we went last Fri. night. That's at 9:30; then we'll head to the Continental Club to see Papa Grows Funk, who we all know I love and adore and who Stefano has never seen! They'll be playing around 11pm so the timing is just perfect. After that we'll go home and spend the night in each other's arms, which is the BEST.... Tomorrow we'll sleep late and then I gotta get home to get ready for a 2p-10p patrol shift. Before doing so I will head to my grandfather's house as tomorrow is his 94th birthday! Then tomorrow night after my shift I'll head back to Stefano's warm bed and adoring arms... Sunday is going to be awesome as Stefano is taking me to the symphony's matinee performance, after which he said we'll go to the gourmet grocery store and buy fixings so he can make me dinner! I am so excited about that b/c I want to hang out in the kitchen while he does it and maybe learn a little bit about cooking! Then Sunday night we will love and adore each other all night again.

Monday we'll sleep in and I'll get to DA's house by noon whereupon he will make lunch for me and we'll hang out until I go to Job #2 around 4pm. That evening I will probably go shooting w/my uncle and his new gun! Ahhhhh... holiday weekends....!
