So… Julia and I got up early this morning and, after some coffee, we headed into my study to see if we couldn’t come up with a schedule that works for both of us. “It was a rather rude awakening!”
We both realized the complexity of our days outside of scheduled appointments and figured it might be best to target three things we intend to get done daily. So, we began working on a list of the three things we wanted to accomplish together as a couple on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and so on. Then we began working on the three things we intended to accomplish each day as individuals. Then, finally, we each began focusing on the three things per day we plan to make happen in our respective businesses.
Quite a bit of time went by; us working on the weekly plan for about an hour and a half before we were finished. Julia who seemed to be light years ahead of me on this stuff was very supportive and said, “I think I can clearly see why you try to memorize it all. And… Yeah… Not really having the greatest access to anything beyond the basics for the first thirty years of your life… Well… It can’t be easy. You haven’t had a smart phone for more than a few years so…”
She then broke off and seemed to be deep in thought. “Why don’t you make a to-do list on your phone since you always have it with you? I know you said it’s a bit clunky to operate without a keyboard. But I think Siri might be able to help you out with that a bit. If the Notes app isn’t as helpful as you would like it to be, you might have better luck just sending yourself an email, which would easily be shared with your Windows 11 powered desktop. Just spit balling here trying to help.”
I responded thoughtfully, “I appreciate the effort, and yeah, note taking has always been a pain in the ass. Sometimes I think I was just better off using a tape player. But that was back in the day when those things were available to us dinosaurs.”
Julia laughed saying, “If you’re a dinosaur you could have fooled me.” She then continued in a more seductive tone, “You fuck more like a rabbit in my book. A very energetic rabbit I might add.”
She then came over to me from her position on the sofa and kissed me deeply. “Why don’t we go in the bedroom for a little cocktail, if you know what I mean, and then we can head out for a late breakfast early lunch.”
“I’m totally down with that,” I said. “Should I stop in the kitchen for some dip to put on your pretzel?” I asked her in my most innocent tone.
Julia said slyly, “No thanks. I like my pretzel all natural like.” She then giggled and said, “Besides, I’m on a diet.”
“Yeah?” I asked. “What diet would that be?”
Julia stopped in the bedroom doorway and pulled me into a tight embrace before responding, “The Brian diet. It really helps me stay trim and fit. Would you like me to walk you through the various plans for good health the program has to offer? The Brian Dietary program isn’t all about what is eaten, you know? Come into my parlor my love and I’ll show you how it all works.”
And… With that, she pulled me into the bedroom and began sensuously stripping my clothes off along with her own. The rest of the day kind of passed in a pleasant haze after that and, even now, all I can think is, “God I am so glad she loves ‘Me’ with everything she’s got.”
