We were both exhausted by the time we finally got home and unpacked the car. She way laying on the couch with her blanket and I was scouring the fridge for a beer, I was not successful. I ran her a bath and grabbed her pyjamas. Dan was at band practice and I was just about done with the day and needed a few hours to decompress. I walked into the living room to find her fast asleep on the couch so I decided to cover her up and leave her there until Dan could move her.
After unpacking our clothes and starting the laundry I grabbed my computer. I had about two weeks until I would be in Ottawa for a week, it was time to start looking for friends...but I have to be careful because I am guilty of being a slave to the online dating site. I've become a pro at filling out these bullshit questionnaires and have a profile up and running in a matter of minutes. I have no idea why they even make us do those, it's not like they separate us based on preference, income or religion. Ottawa is all new people for me and I can't help but feel a little excited to see what I will stumble onto in this city. I still shake my head when people outright state they are looking for a wife and I don't know if it's because they are looking for an online bride or because I am on a site where men are looking for wives and I already am one. Ottawa is a mixed bag of surprises and it's difficult not to notice all of the profiles set up by couples and even same sex couples and dare I say...cop partners. This is far beyond my scope of experience but the openness is intriguing and comfortable...still, it makes me giggle like a school girl. Before I even had the chance to start and answer the messages flooding into my mailbox I closed my computer and slid it under the bed...this is far too interesting to get into tonight and I couldn't function after an all nighter. I found Seinfeld and drifted off...
