I just returned from this morning’s charity hike in Olongapo and have a doctor’s appointment in a couple of hours. And I really need a nap. So, today’s post will be brief.
Swan joined me for dinner last night. When she accepted my invitation a few days ago, she told me she would spend the night. That got me excited! She had a tutoring client in the early evening, so she didn’t arrive until almost seven p.m. Still, my preparation timing was on point, and the meal came together shortly after her arrival.
After dinner, we sat in the living room, and I played music from my YouTube playlists on the TV. Swan was finalizing orders for her meat distribution business, so she had her eye on the phone a lot. I asked if she wanted to watch something on Netflix, and she responded that she was enjoying the music. Good enough for me. One of the songs that played was “Don’t Close Your Eyes” by Keith Whitley. It resonated with me, but I couldn’t tell how closely Swan was listening. Naturally, I was looking forward to bedtime until Swan casually mentioned she was on her menstruation. Damn, that was disappointing news. I asked her later if she knew she’d be having her period when she volunteered to spend the night with me. She denied it. Oh well, I teased her some about other orifices, but I wasn’t serious. And honestly, the way I’ve been feeling lately, it may have been a blessing that I didn’t exert myself with lovemaking. But damn, I would have been glad to give it a go. Oh, well.
We did have a nice night of cuddling and that’s something I miss almost as much as sex, so I’m grateful for that. Swan left early this morning to get her niece ready for school and I set about preparing for my charity hike and presentation ceremony in Olongapo.
All told, our group donated around 35,000 pesos ($700) so the impoverished students would have needed school supplies. It’s nice to help make a difference!
I’ve got to hit the shower and the sheets now, so I’ll post pictures from today’s hike here tomorrow, along with an update on what lies ahead for me health-wise.
I know you loved him A long time ago Even now in my arms You still want him I know But darling this time Let your memories die When you hold me tonight Don't close your eyes Don't close your eyes Let it be me Don't pretend it's him In some fantasy Darling just once Let yesterday go You'll find more love Than you've ever known Just hold me tight When you love me tonight And don't close your eyes Maybe I've been a fool Holding on all this time Lyin' here in your arms Knowing he's in your mind But I keep hoping some day That you'll see the light Let it be me tonight Don't close your eyes Don't close your eyes Let it be me Don't pretend it's him In some fantasy Darling just once Let yesterday go You'll find more love Than you've ever known Just hold me tight When you love me tonight And don't close your eyes
Dinner is served. Ribeye steak, baked potato, broccoli-cauliflower, corn-on-the-cob, and garlic bread.
Tiny veggies in a sea of carbs (bread, corn, taters). I love it. I’ve been taking a break from my own regime this week. Gonna start back on the discipline next week, after my birthday. You own birthday’s in a day or so, yes? Well, a Happy Pre-birthday to you, then.
I asked if she wanted to watch something on Netflix, and she responded that she was enjoying the music.
The old “Netflix and chill” move, eh? Ruined by Aunt Flo, apparently.
It was my honor and privilege to participate in this effort.
And they spelled your name correctly!
Good to see the charity work. I look forward to reading about what the doc has to say. Good luck with that.

Sorry. Your own.
Anticipa-a-tion…
In the immortal words of Pepe Le Pew: Getting there is half the fun!
I still hate being skunked!
Kev, my birthday is tomorrow.
I wasn’t familiar with the “Netflix and chill” saying, but it’s funny. I’ll have to add it to my repertoire. Yeah, I didn’t invite that bitch Aunt Flo–she can go back to Redlands and stay there!
