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.
