Day at home

[jay]

Strep hasn't knocked me down -- no fever or other symptoms -- but I felt not-right this morning, enough that I stayed home from work to try to pre-empt the bug. A telecon including hopeforyou (who was also offsite at her place) went well. Later, bad news about the air traffic project I presented in DC last week... the local NASA management group that has been putting together a new program for FY05, and using us as its poster-child for marketing purposes, is now going to reduce our part of the budget to ten percent of the total while warping our purpose into being basically just computing infrastructure support for things in which they're more interested.

Otherwise, I fixed a door closer and a balky lock, rested, and took Kevin to the park and tried to throw toy boomerangs with him. We were laughable. That's perfectly OK. ;-)

This evening, I talked with patgreene, including a lively discussion regarding whether women actually ever wanted sex for its own sake, or just went along with it in order to gain things that they valued more (like cuddling, or attention, or building emotional ties). There was no verdict... maybe more in a future post.

I really can't speak for others, but I would say that (a) I don't make any secret of loving sex, and wanting lots of it, and (b) I don't spend much energy deflecting unwanted suitors, especially since my breakup with the person who hated that I was poly.

Perhaps it's a vibe I give off, but I only seem to get expressions of interest from people I'm already interested in and/or friends with and/or involved with.

(Re: sex, often around our house, sogwife will say to me and someotherguy: "Surely you two must have *something* else you want to do!" -- I have to say that now that I am in relationships with stonebender and someotherguy, I have finally found people whose libidos match my own (or at least come close), and I am happy about it.)

I'm glad that that's well-matched for you, libido-wise. And you certainly sound different in your approach than any of my other friends, let alone past or present partners... maybe I've just led a sheltered life ;-).

*grin* Some day, dear, it will sink in for you that everyone is just different.
