I’ve Seen Better Days

By N

Well, today was my first night during this new challenge where I didn’t go to bed when Becky did.  We’re sort of in a fight as of last night and today: we talked a little about our intimate life and there was some misunderstanding.  She took what I said the wrong way and I didn’t explain myself very well I guess.

Then, today, after church, she had meetings and asked me to get the mashed potatoes ready.  I agreed as I was part sleeping, then, forgot.  When she got home I had fallen asleep again and she was fully ticked off.  I told her I honestly forgot and tried to do whatever I could to make it up to her but, with the combination of things, she was mad.

We tried to talk it over a bit tonight but I opted to not say too much because I didn’t really agree with her stand on our intimate life.  It’s fine, it’s great, but I feel it’s generally a one sided, I’m in control, I take the lead, I ask the questions, I do what’s good for her, type deal.

Anyway, church was good.  We talked about the sabbath day and keeping unspotted from worldy things.  I really like what Elder Oaks talks about in going to Church not as a passive listener but as an active participant.

Well, it’s late (12:37 p.m.).  I’ve been chatting off and on with Kaly G. about a possible social media consulting opp. in Idaho.  We’ll see what happens with that.

Good night!

Nate
