I wish I could say I had lurid tales of debauchery from my rare GWO-less night. I did get propositioned via text message, but I deleted it chuckling and headed home to feed the cat, who took the disruptions to his schedule very much in stride. I expected to be woken up at 4 a.m. when his morning kibble failed to materialise, but he didn't even come downstairs to complain, so I rewarded him when I woke up briefly around 5:30. (Strangely, he started caterwauling after he'd eaten, but a few cuddles in the bed calmed him right down.)
Admittedly, when I opted for dinner on Argyle with Diego, it was with an eye toward Big Chicks Bear Den afterwards. We did stop in, more because I felt conspicuous taking up a table at Tank than anything else, but didn't stay much more than an hour. He had to run home to deal with a family work crisis and the place was near empty anyway. Still, we managed to fit in a good conversation about career choices and work/life balance and the sort of stuff that privileged wankers like us are fortunate enough to be able to worry about.
I still don't know what exactly needs to change to give me the combination of security and risk that will satisfy and challenge me, but after his little pep talk, I was confident in my ability to find it. Today, not so much, but the lift I got from his overall assessment of my situation is still there, so I'm not complaining.
