Enraptured

I find myself enraptured by Carol,
her habits seem to me delightful. Even the ones that drive me crazy. It is neither logical nor common sense, two virtues I cherish even if I do not always practice.

She takes a bit longer than forever to get ready to go somewhere. That is a fact. I find it especially annoying that she points out my faults I didn’t know I had or thought they were a virtue. Yes, I will share this.

I am a bit of a velvet covered bulldozer. OK, granted. I saw this as a positive. She did not. I am working on modifying my tendency to nudge others into what I think should be done when I feel it should be done.

Nevertheless. She takes awhile to get ready to go. We initially were headed for a restaurant patio meal out so we could take our dog Rosie with us. Then a walk for Rosie. We delayed backing out of the driveway so she could go get: a doggie leash, a hat, poop bags, cellphone, a book, a chuck-it and ball.

Then, we played use the dog’s leash to keep the dog in the back seat for two tries backing up. Both failed resulting in a heavy dog with sharp nails in Carol’s lap. Finally, Carol rode in the back seat with Rosie who then jumped in her lap anyway. The walk never occurred.

So, I would have to be enraptured with Carol not to suggest we might
go alone, just the two of us. As a couple not a threesome. Luckily for me, Carol has not been able to access her FB or email since March and I am not sending her this story by message. Besides, I kinda like being enraptured by her.
