Human Contact

As mentioned yesterday, I had an appointment in the nearby college town in the afternoon. Also, Aerith's house just happens to be on the way there. So, I made it a point to stop in and see my girlfriend after that appointment yesterday.

She hadn't been feeling well the last few days, so I made up a care package for her: I got her a can of Chunky chicken noodle soup, a full box of tissues, a six pack of Pure Leaf Blackberry tea, and a picture that I had Willow draw for her. It was a picture of a Space Wolf captain from Warhammer Space Marines. Aerith absolutely loved it. 😊

She fell in awe of the care package and then we embraced. As we did, a feeling of euphoria washed over me. I was beyond happy to have someone romantically embrace me again. We didn't kiss on the lips as she was still worried about getting me sick. We did kiss each other on the cheek and forehead numerous times though.

I didn't go home right away as I wanted to spend as much time with her as I could. I stayed until dark.

We sat on her couch and just cuddled for the next nearly two hours. She felt so good laying against me that I never wanted to leave or even move. Part of me would've been fine had we just melted into each other.

We caressed each other's arms and shoulders as we talked about life, enjoyed the company of her cats and watched random videos on YouTube. Perfect. Absolutely perfect.

I was completely comfortable. With both Aerith and the entire situation. I told her that we're definitely figuring out a day to just cuddle the entire day. Food is optional. Bathroom breaks are required though lol.

Being with her made me realize just how much I'd missed that human contact. When you go so long without it, you forget just how much it means to you until it comes around again.

Some people think that sex is the ultimate expression of two people's love. I disagree. Cuddling is the ultimate expression.

People can be together for years, get married, become distant. They can have sex for special occasions and go through the motions. They can even have kids together. That doesn't mean that sex is proof of their continuing love or proof of anything.

If you can be with someone for years and continue to cuddle with one another, just sitting together, holding each other, caressing each other, then you truly love each other. Forever and ever.

I'm not saying Aerith and I have gotten there yet. We've only just begun. But still, it's good to have goals for our relationship.

And it's good to have that loving feeling of someone close to you again.

Half the Person I Used to Be

People can have lots of different vices to help when they're stressed. Some drink, some smoke, some even do drugs (I don't judge anyone enjoying a little bit of Mother Earth's great green herb. I mean the harder stuff). My vice was always food. Whenever I was stressed or sad or even just bored, I'd immediately go straight for the kitchen or pantry to find something to eat. Any good feelings from doing so would quickly evaporate whenever I would next step onto the scale. Stress eating became a big habit at one point in my life due to working in a hospital at the time and my continuing issues in my marriage. Even after I left that job and the divorce was finalized, I still used food as a coping mechanism. By the time 2023 rolled around and I was actually ready to do something about it (or so I thought), the scales read 336.5 pounds. I was up to wearing size 5XL shirts that had to be specially ordered because no local stores carried them. I talked to my doctor and they sug...

Voting Day

While it's not one of the "big ones," such as the midterms or the Presidential elections, today is still voting day. You could say that elections like this are even more important since they cover local offices that can affect you everyday. I was born and raised as a Republican because of my parents and their background. However, I became more and more liberal in my thinking once I got to college and beyond. In fact, it became clear to me that my thought process growing up had usually been socially liberal anyway. I officially changed parties to Democrat in 2016. I refused to be associated with Drumpf and the way in which he'd bastardized my idea of the Grand Old Party. I don't have to tell you how upset I was over the results from last year. That orange faced goon won lots of support by actively campaigning against LGBTQ causes, especially the trans community. Not only did his base just lap it up but it felt like Democratic leadership wasn't doing nearly enou...

Winter Style 3-Day Weekend

Hello, my loves. I hope you all had a wonderful weekend. Mine was eventful but not as much as I thought it would be initially. Our area got tons of snow the past few days (in fact, it's currently snowing out my window at work as I type this). Friday went as planned with my mom. We celebrated her birthday with lunch at an area restaurant. I decided on a top sirloin steak well done (I don't like my steak either still being pink or mooing at me) while she had steak tips mixed in gravy and peppers in a skillet. Delicious! After running some errands, including shipping out presents to our family out of state, I made sure to pick her up a cake when I went grocery shopping. I bought a 1/8 sheet chocolate cake. Usually, we could handle a 1/4 sheet cake but between my weight loss and her doctors wanting her to be healthier as well, 1/8 sheet is all the sheet we can handle. Thank you. Anyway, we enjoyed some leftovers for dinner and then I served her some of her cake. It was also delicio...
