When he lays down he sets his head on top of my lap. Its so small in gesture that feels really warm and romantic. I play with his hair as the television channels change. We don't talk as I continue on with the current project of making a pin for my sister in law.
"what do you think of this? Does it look weird to you or okay?"
He examines it closely and hands it back to me, " I don't think this line should be there because see it's not in any of the other flowers. That part just looks weird to me."
I cut out another flower and replace the old one and the whole project looks completely different, it looks finished. It looks exactly how I pictured it to look.
"Wow, look hun" I place it in front of his face," you were right It looks totally different doesn't it. It looks really cute now. " I snuggle my face close to his and tell him how amazing he is.
"Well, they say old age is horrible and I really worry about my memory. I don't want to loose my MENSA membership so I called and they told me I should be okay. But with the MS I just haven't been able to sell the house"
Nate is nodding his head while I look at Angel an adorable white perfectly round mixed puppy of sorts that hobbles between our legs and instantly lays on it's back for tummy rubs. I melt for a second then turn back to her conversations of people she knows , higher ups and her relatives that climb Mount Everest. She leaves the room instantly and with out warning.
"I want Angel lets take her" I whisper to him as I take off my boots
Nate opens the front door a little," Lets go Angel, come on go..We'll save you"
I laugh when she reappears to tell us she is going to make us banana bread. As we do our work she follows us around with her puff of curly red hair.
When we go to our next job the next woman isn't nearly as exciting as Jeannie. Nate and I both kind of mourn at the fact and I begin to wish that I wasn't so judgemental around crazy people. My first immediate reaction when I met Jeannie was "wow this woman is really crazy and she kind of scares me" I can remember my first conversation with Nate when taking a break and having her almost cry in front of us about her depression and deceased alcoholic husband was that she was going to kill us while in her house. Just unload a round of bullets and that was that my life would end with a bat of insulation, a heavy tool belt around my waist and not having showered in a couple of days. Of course Nothing happened while working with Jeannie it was just that she was crazy and she couldn't help it. It was how she was which was also one thing that made her unique and also entertaining. I guess I can't wait until the day when I don't immediately judge people when I first meet them. That nothing comes to mind except just an open mind of who they really are. I'm learning slowly and it was just a really good thing to think about for a while.
Well it's the holiday season and already the parties have been crazy. I've been having a lot of fun. Today I missed the person I last had a relationship with who I must admit I really liked. I mean it was nice to really like someone considering its been a while. What can I say, if that's the only thing that gets me down I'm incredibly lucky. At least I got to really feel for someone again. It was wonderful.
I'll try to post more but I've been so busy. I've been absorbing a lot of little lessons that seem to slip by and I don't get a chance to write them down.
