My guy has some tattoos and body piercings – kind of along the lines with his line of work. The only thing I ever asked of him so far was some of his old body jewelry that I might wear. I was thinking just in my ears, but he sent me several pieces and later asked what I was going to do with it. I told him, and then he suggested a genital piercing with one of the extra pieces. I kind of amazed myself when I agreed to it. And amazed myself even more when I went alone and got it done. (I have a couple of small tattoos but always had someone come with me when I got those). I was upset to learn I couldn’t initially do the piercing with his stuff because it had to be sterile jewelry since it was a new piercing. This was done right before Christmas. (Kind of a symbolic day too – the year before I had decided to kill myself on that day, but didn’t follow through, thank goodness – what a difference a year makes!)
Today I had the jewelry changed out to his. And I sent him photos. I could just imagine his face from the comments I got. I was even bold enough to mis-quote Beyonce – “…if you like it, put a ring in it…” and luckily he laughed (I was almost afraid to put that in there, but I made sure the conversation was light).
Also something else I did today was drive to Detroit (I used to live up that way so I am used to it) and finalize my NEXUS (fast entry border pass for Canada) card so I can go visit him when he is in Toronto next month.
It was good to get out and do some things for me/us.
