Hold me tighter

Last night Skype made it's funny little noise to let me know that he was on
and

I settled in to talk to my man.

we both got up
and got a bowl of ice cream

and came back
and there was something so connecting about that
doing the same thing
at the same time

I felt like we were on the sofa together
having a snack

and catching up

We talked about adding some rules

and we have (you can check them out on the new Tab "Tex's Expectations"
they're all about the much hated housework

and

I'm glad they are

I am a miserable housekeeper and procrastinator

this will help me to build better habits
and if we did ever live together
would keep harmony in the house

I don't plan on getting rid of my housekeeper by any means -- There are things I can't get done in a week's time that she does better

and I will tell you that THIS Saturday I will spend the day cleaning - because my house has a way to go - I'm a clutter bug

so he will help me.

and it does hold me tighter to him

we also talked about me finding another FWB

you may remember I had a sweet one - who moved away -- and then the elusive D
and now
well -

I am talking to someone who may fit the bill

Tex is requiring that I send him my correspondence and summaries of conversations for him to approve/decline him as a potential

and things get tighter still

and I know
that while I'm happy about this
that while I feel cared about

I will balk at these new rules a bit
I will struggle with them

they will piss me off

they will make me feel happier
and held tightly

while he's so far away
