Busy People Making Time For One Another

The office wasn't as busy today as it has been for the last week. Interesting thing is, the same day last year was also very slow compared to the surrounding days. We still doubled last years' numbers, though.

It is going to be a very good year.

The kids are going to be with their dad this weekend, so I asked FdM what he is doing Saturday night. He told me he is going to be busy with a client Saturday evening. I told him I am going to be kidless this weekend, and he made plans to get his business done before Saturday.

I have found FdM to be very considerate. He always calls if he is going to be late. He has been returning my phone calls. He asks if he can use my office when he needs privacy with a client... he never assumes. The last time he came over for dinner, he asked if he could help with anything, so I put him to work peeling potatoes. It is a pleasure to have him around.

Sometimes, he is too much of an old-fashioned gentleman. It was raining one day when we went out for lunch. I was dressed for the weather, but he insisted on dropping me off at the door before parking his van. I felt silly standing there waiting for him.

Today, we went for a walk on our lunch break to London Drugs. I bought a couple things, and he carried the bag for me. I thought that was very nice. Then we went to A&W to eat. I held the door for him, but he refused to go in before me. That seemed odd to me, but very sweet. And while we were walking, he always made sure he was between me and the traffic.

I have never had a man consistently treat me like that before. It's odd that he won't let me reciprocate, but it's endearing, too.

Alot of new experiences.

And I'm sure there are more to come....
