T and I went to the coast last weekend, and it was delightful. We had such a good time. The only conflict we had, if you could call it that, was my desire to get out of bed at the crack of dawn and begin foraging for food, whereas T would prefer to sleep in. We mostly made it work, both of us slightly disappointed with the compromise, which is how I think it works? ha Apparently I can’t ditch her on our first getaway together. Maybe on the next she’ll let me.
T finally told me she loved me, before our vacation. I was determined to make her say it first, and to that end, I was not helpful in giving her encouragement (haha). I think the best part is that I knew she wanted to say it, then she chickened out, so I woke up to a text telling me she loved me, apologizing for saying it over text, and promising to say it properly when we were next together. I didn’t mind–and now I have a funny story to tell. But I was kind in return and told her I loved her, too, instead of making her wait until we were in person, like I sort of wanted to do (but decided would be too mean).
In other news: I found a doctor I like! She was amazing! I saw her last week for an annual physical, and when I brought up sex (lesbian sex, no less), she did not look awkward or get tongue tied (unlike every other stupid doctor). She even asked if we used toys as if it were a normal thing to ask about (which it should be and which was appropriate in the context of our conversation–this was not a gawker type question). I’m so glad. I really felt comfortable with her and was finally able to ask about a few things I’d been concerned about.
I’ve also been on weight watchers for about five weeks now and am steadily losing weight. I don’t have a ton to lose–I just want my clothes to fit loosely again. I let myself gain about 30 pounds and my clothes were all fitting snugly, which is the worst. So I’ve lost about 10 pounds so far, and we’ll see after another 10 how I feel. I have no qualms about my body in particular, but I don’t want to have to purchase a new wardrobe.
And, perhaps antithetically to my weight loss goals, I made 4 mini cheesecakes (about 3-4″ diameter?) the last two days. Three I made yesterday for mother’s day this weekend (going to the parents’ house with my siblings and nieces): they are vanilla with peanut butter swirl, chocolate with vanilla swirl, and chocolate with peanut butter swirl. Then I made one more cheesecake tonight to share with T this weekend. It is layered with apple pie filling (but the apples are diced). I love baking.
I also finally purchased a few sets of mini baking pans (they are adorable). My mom bought me a Small Batch Baking cookbook awhile ago, but without mini pans (I had the spring forms already), I hadn’t really utilized it. But now I can, which is great, because I do not need to make whole cakes or other desserts. And it’s easier to have recipes cut down to size ahead of time.
Anyway, that’s about it. I mean to blog more often than I do, but I always come up with good things to write when I can’t. I’ll try to do better.
