United

Today went well, despite the fact that work bothered the crap out of me.  I didn’t have a chance to take a shower, had to get dressed at the last minute.  We made it to the courthouse with plenty of time to spare.  Paid one of the very last fees for this privilege.  Then waited for a while on the judge. 

After about 20 minutes he called out our names, we walked back to an empty court room and sat at a table.  The judge asked us to hold hands.  Then he talked a little bit, then had us recite vows to each other.  Then a second set of vows after a short speech.  I was about to cry but managed to control it.  Then we were pronounced a united partnership.

Left the courthouse and headed to Olive Garden.  Had to sit at the bar because they were crowded.  Got a hot looking guy to wait on us.  I have always liked his face, got a closer look at his body and wow I’d pass on that.  Anyway, we had a decent meal.  Then headed home.

I called my mom to tell her the good news, she was pleasantly surprised but I was told how disappointing it was that she wouldn’t be a grandma.  I told her that’s just life.  I’m doing good to manage the cats, my partner and myself.  Throw a kid into the mix and I would probably loose it.  My brother won’t be having children either because he has no one to procreate with.  His time is all used up between work and taking care of mom.  So I told her she has grand kittens that was as much of a grandma as she would be.

Then she told me how my brother was taking her pain meds and he is addicted.  Now I don’t know if this is TRUE or if it’s another Psychotic delusion.  It’s possible I know he is at his wits end between his job, home life and the fact there is no time for a social life.  I of course was sworn to secrecy so I’m not supposed to discuss it with him.  Not exactly sure what I am going to do.  It bothers me but I am not dwelling on it. 

I’m back to doing laundry.  One more working day off for me and then we have the weekend, then it’s back to work.  Feel pretty much like I never left.  I am used to nap time though.  That might be a problem come Monday!

Thank you all for your well wishes.  I am glad we had the privilege to be able to be joined to each other.  Perhaps with the Supreme Court taking up the debate of same sex marriage we may be able to convert our partnership into a full fledged marriage.  Stay tuned, we will find out together!

Talk with you peeps later.
