Tuesday, 18th April
I had a busy day at work today,
meeting new patients and assessing them for their operations. I
managed to switch off from what is going on at home and enjoyed
meeting with colleagues and talking medicine. Word has gotten around
that I will start lecturing and some people have asked how I got the
job, they might be interested.
I went to the gym and had dinner at
the Centre. They had kept something for me.
Ben was well balanced and he had
kept busy during the day and was nicely tired. We enjoyed the train
journey and walk home, having some time together. Ruth was expecting
us with some tea. She had a good day and bought lots of clothes. I
guess we will have to wait for the credit card bill to come in.
Ingrid has a friend who sells clothes via the internet and she is
going to send the clothes via courier to the States. Ruth said she
had a good day with Ingrid. Ingrid bought herself something as well,
it had been agreed. It was good for her and Ben to spend a day apart.
Wednesday, 19th April
I had a meeting with HR and my
department manager to discuss me working part time whilst lecturing.
We have agreed on a schedule, but I did not want to say definitely
yes without talking to Ben and thinking about it a bit longer.
Ben and Ruth were cooking when I
came home. They had been to Upsalla today. Luckily we have had nice
weather all week.
After dinner I asked to have some
time with Ben. Ruth wanted to read her book anyway. They had
mentioned they had “meaningful talks” again on the train and were
all talked out anyway. Ben awaited me in the playroom, kneeling, but
that was not what I had in mind. I just wanted to chat about my
meeting and to sound out how he was. He was quite tired from their
trip and talked out. Of course he encouraged me to go ahead with what
I had planned with my manager. He mentioned he would like to find
something else to do to keep him busy after the summer. He will not
have classes any more. There might be an option to do more shifts at
the Centre, or he might want to find a class.
We had a bath together and then Ben
got ready for bed.
Our bath was nice. It was good to
be quite intimate. We have been kissing and touching, better – I
have. Was it to make a point to Ruth? She feels uncomfortable with
it. Knowing we had privacy in the bathroom, we could both relax. We
just enjoyed being us. Ruth was in the kitchen when I came to make
some tea. Ben came to say good night. He is sleeping in his room as
we both need a good sleep. Ruth wanted to talk to me. She thanked me
for having her, she said she now understands Ben
much better. Not only because they
talked so much about the past, but she experienced Stockholm, me and
she got to know the person he is now. I am glad them two were able to
work things out. At least 2 people in our extended families are
happy.
Well, I think writing about this
tonight has helped me settle my thoughts. I better go to bed myself,
operations tomorrow.
