inLong Distance Love. It’s difficult at times, more so when the Polyamorous dynamic is added into the stew, but well worth it when the emotional support is maintained. As the days pass, and my time with Gun moves further away, my memories starts to fade again, and the longing sets in. I’m not to the point of Alzheimer’s… yet. But it gets harder for me to hang onto the details as time passes. So I write it down, before I forget… Continue reading

inThe evening began well enough. Dove was greeted at the door by the Hostess, who was rather elegantly dressed in black and burgundy. Surrendering her jacket and purse, the fledgling moved into the living room, where the guests were seated opposite a large flat-screen television, surrounding a table of snacks. Their attention was divided among eating, watching whatever game was on, and chatting. Continue reading

I’d nodded off in front of the TV for a couple hours. Woke up, saw the time, decided to step out for a bit.
It’s almost Midnight. I’m on my deck, having a last smoke before I turn in. The rain that’s been falling these last two days means I won’t be working tomorrow, which sucks. I hate rain days! I can’t earn if I’m not working.
I look around at my neighbors’ windows and decks. They’re all asleep, lights out. I like the quiet. Continue reading

inMy apartment land line telephone rings, waking me from a dream that I can’t remember. Thinking there must be an emergency at work, I grab it and I glance at the time on my cellphone. It’s 10:30pm. I haven’t been asleep for very long. Then I look down at the caller id. I don’t know the number, but I answer it anyway. I figure anyone calling me at this hour needs attention. “Hello? This is Katie.”
“Mom? Can we come home?” I’m immediately awake. Continue reading

inI went on quite a few more dates with various men, even had sex a few more times. I wasn’t looking for any kind of long-term relationship – just companionship. But my body didn’t change. So, looking back at my marriage and now my new experiences, I learned more about how it worked. Continue reading

inFor the next monthly get-together with my girlfriends, I invited them over to the apartment for the first time. They’d presented me with a gift box the size of a breadbox, and three huge grins. As I sat down on my couch with the box, I’d returned their grins. “What’s this for?”
“Open it,” Arya promted. I knew the girls had been trying to get me to try the online dating sites since the divorce finalized, so I suspected this had something to do with all of that. I tore off the paper, opened a brown cardboard packing box, looked inside and jumped back with a laughing “What the fuck?!” My cheeks were burning, as they all broke into laughter. Continue reading

inAbout a month after the apartment complex’s pool party, I was at my monthly get-together with some girlfriends. As we sat together eating a not-great-but-not-fast-food lunch, we all stayed away from the subject of men and love-lives for as long as possible. Continue reading

inAs I entered the pool area, I stopped at the gate and looked around. The adults were clustered here and there around the pool’s edges, chatting, laughing, eating and drinking. A DJ was at the far corner, playing summer beach music. There were mostly kids playing in the water, their parents glancing over occasionally to make sure no one was crying, or splashing too hard, or drowning. Continue reading
