Second Interruption of Service

Yes, the second contiguous interruption of service was caused by my Mac finally refusing to display anything on the built-in display. As you can imagine, this did make it sort of difficult to use. Five days later, it is sporting a brand new display and logic board, and we’re back in business. The weekend felt hectic but good. Due to scheduling issues, both of our date afternoons ended up on the same weekend. It was almost like a mini weekend getaway. Having quiet lunches where we could sit and talk, or play hang man, two days in a row was quite a treat. We even went to see a movie (Inception) the one afternoon since we had done the most important shopping the day before.

I’m making a conscious effort to be more proactively open with Becky. So far the fallout seems mostly negative. Oh well. I feel like our relationship now is a weird mix of nothing has changed and everything has changed. I know those probably seem mutually exclusive. In this case, though, I feel like they can coexist without contradiction. Becky’s friendships with other guys is one of those areas. A lot has changed, including in part her motivations for pursuing them and the lengths that she will go to in order to preserve them. But at the same time, the beccarose parts aren’t gone, they’re just not as dominant. So there are still some of those old motivations hanging around. So we continue to have some of the same fights about it, especially when it comes to one-on-one time with those friends.

I’m waiting for the pool to finish filling so I can turn off the hose and then go take a shower. Between mowing (gas and grass), and blowing out the carb #2 body from dip #2, I don’t really want to go to sleep without washing up.
