  Yesterday was one of those days. Wait. Let me back up. The week preceding yesterday was shitty. Jae and I were pretty tense because we were both pretty stressed and cranky at each other. We got in (minor) tiffs 3 days in a row about stupid things that made no sense. Tuesday, I was cranky because I couldn't sleep the night before and had to get up to take Jae to work and go to the library and get some work done. I was tired and cranky and decided to go home, and ended up doing nothing at all. He got mad at me because he wanted me to work, but I wasted the day away and he didn't get to have lunch because he didn't want me to waste my time driving out to bring him lunch.
The next day, Wednesday, we got into some minor argument about something stupid, so stupid, in fact, that I can't even remember what it was about. Thursday morning, I was cranky because we both passed out the night before around 9pm and both woke up at 3am. He went back to sleep, but I couldn't sleep until almost 6, and had to get up at 7 to take him to work. -- So yesterday, Friday, was a great day because after that shitty week of being cranky and tired and at each others' throats, we were back to our normal selves.
It actually was normal on Thursday night, after Jae made us steak for dinner, we worked out, went to the pool and jacuzzi at night and fooled around after, watching South Park episodes. We woke up the next morning, relatively early, and as usual, Jae made us some espresso in the morning, as we did our own thing... something I've come to recognize and like as our morning routine. We fooled around, doing a lot of nothing, and had some udon for brunch. We caught a matinee showing of the Bourne Supremacy, which was ok. I liked the first one, and I think Jae did too. But for a sequel, it wasn't bad. After the movie, we came home, supposedly to get our stuff to go to the library, but really passed out for a nap. We woke up and went to our favorite restaurant for dinner, Thai Diner Too. In some ways, going there is like our second home.
The servers know and like us and all come by and chat with us. I like the little things that Jae and I do, our morning routine, "our" restaurants, our late night giggles and hugs before falling asleep, these are the things that make our relationship real to me, these mundane and simple times are the defining moments that I cherish more than anything. So after stuffing ourselves silly with urlLink Papaya Salad , drunken noodles and flounder, we rolled ourselves out of the restaurant and into the car. We came back home and fooled around for a little bit before doing some serious work. We sat at the dining table, him where I usually sit to eat and me where he usually sits, and we worked. When Jae concentrates on something, he gets this amazingly different facial expression that I find so damned hot. He was drawing some illustrations for a book and once in awhile I'd peak over my laptop to check him out. I was so attracted to him at that moment. He was wearing his new orange striped linen shirt from urlLink BR &nbsp;unbuttoned, so I could see his muscular chest peeking out from it, while his face had a determined, intent look.
That moment, those 2 hours we both concentrated on our work is probably one of my most favorite moments with Jae. I know it sounds stupid, of all the things we've done, flying together, partying in DC, swimming, hollywood, bbqs, beach volleyball, las vegas, san diego, in spite of all of those things, this was above all, one of my favorites. Sitting there, with him, watching him actually work had a strange calming effect on me. I liked our vibe together. Its a shame that he doesn't work at home more often, because in a weird way, I felt like we were really connected for that time. -- urlLink my hottie
