I didn't realize you could have Hep C and not know it. I know someone with Hep C and it was a real problem (until the current treatment regime was developed), so I thought it always caused symptoms.
Kaylee: Can I? Zoe: Sure. He's out, though. Kaylee: He did this for me, once.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger
Maybe he's waiting for Pi Day, Tep!
(I waited for the super romantic day of...some weeknight that ended with -day, dressed up in my fanciest cotton panties and raggedy T, took some chic ambien and ate some sexy broc-and-cheese, and proposed in really suave manner with my mouth full. "So, whaddaya think about maybe gettin' married one day?"
Him: "I'd...kinda planned on it."
Me: (Chewing) "Oh, cool."
...
"Are we...like, engaged"
"Um, I don't have a ring. But...yeah? If it's OK with you. I mean, I was going to ask soon."
"Oh, that's sweet." (chew, swallow...brain activity vaguely flickers through sleep meds) ....
"OH MY FUCKING GOD ARE WE GETTING MARRIED? FOR REALS?"
"Yep."
"CAN I TELL PEOPLE?!"
"Well, sure, darlin'."
"Holy shit, I think I just did the worst marriage proposal ever. Inadvertently. In ugly underwear, with cheese on my chin. BUT I AM GETTING MARRIED! TO YOU! I LOVE YOU!...You know you're marrying an insane woman, right?")
_____________________________________
But...I hope I'm not being too intrusive, or that I am going senile because you've addressed this before...have you guys had the, "Yeah, we think marriage is a thing we wanna do one day" talk?
I admit, I would have liked a proposal. Very much. And a more weddingy wedding, and like, a ring and a honeymoon. But OTOH, D might have been sitting around with his thumb up his ass for another six months.

Our wings are not tired.
They tested for Hep C when I was preggers, don't know if it was my '54 birthdate or because of my history, or routine.
I opened the marriage discussion because I knew he wanted kids and math was not on our side if we didn't get busy. A customer made our rings and he did the proposal thing when we got the jewelry. If my age wasn't a consideration I would have been more patient.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
OMG, is anything more boring than database updates? I think not.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Database updates pay my salary. But yeah, they are pretty boring.
Actually, since I'm a developer, I create the tools for others to do database updates. Database updates for the masses!
Which, still boring.

I've gotten my email inbox down to the low 100s, with no unread items, so I'm calling it a good morning at work so far. And I'll be lunching with amyth and smonster, which is happy-making.

I have dealt with maybe 150 emails, but have many more hundreds to deal with! Sad.
