July 1988:
The first summer session ended; I had the entire room to myself. I was only taking one class, but only worked evenings.
I continued to see J after work; sometimes we'd meet for a drink, then go back to his house. If I worked late, I'd call him and drive over.
One particular nice date with J ended with us in the middle of the road, between our vehicles. J kissed me and said between kisses, "I...want....to.....take....you....home....get.....you.....naked.....and.....make...tender.....sweet.....love....to... you...." All the while unbuttoning my uniform blouse! I realized what he was doing and pulled away, then followed him to his house.
Another time, I needed to call my mom, and while we were speaking, J decided I'd talked long enough and began fooling around. When I began having trouble stringing coherent thoughts together, I said goodbye to my mom and hung up. I never brought up that conversation with her again, for fear of her knowing what was going on!
This sounds bad, but I was beginning to get bored with DB, who was working at Pizza Hut for the summer. He knew my schedule and would call me every day about the same time....one day I simply shut off the ringer and enjoyed a quiet afternoon, reading and listening to music. Right before 5pm, when I knew he'd show up (and I wasn't scheduled to work, so it must have been a Monday, when the club was closed), I turned the ringer back on and opened my door. He arrived a few moments later and seemed perplexed as to why he couldn't get a hold of me. I told him I'd been in and out all afternoon, with various campus activities. He bought it, and took me to dinner.
But What About Your Class?
I confess to putting off an important paper until the last minute. I pulled an all-nighter to get it typed, then promptly slept through my alarm, and was late getting it turned in. I did pass that class, but not with the high mark I wanted.
Next Month: Back To School!

Present Day:
I'm praying the rain holds off/moves north or south tonight for the Gallery Walk. Going to go downtown and see about an indoor host, in case it does rain.
Update On Mom:
Went to her cardiologist yesterday, who was VERY alarmed at her condition, and set her up with an MRI and another appointment with a back specialist for a 2nd opinion. FINALLY a doctor who's interested in getting answers!
Update On Phoenix:
My great-great-grandson was born last Saturday (6 lbs, 9 oz), and later that day, was admitted to the NICU for having small seizures. Got word that the spinal tap revealed no menningitis, but we discovered that little P had had a BM while in utero, which infected his amniotic sac, and caused his mommy to run a fever. I went down to see him last Sun, and stroked his tiny ankles, which he seemed to enjoy. He was very alert and responsive to all of us, even throwing his tiny hands over his face when he got tired of all the pictures. Hoping he'll be able to go home soon; MDQ reports he's eating, and doing well:)
Taken Sunday.....
Taken Tuesday....Both J and MDQ say he looks like his mommy:)
