Over Protected

Hello Everyone:

A pleasant Monday overall.  I got to see a little of the Solar Eclipse and took some pictures.  The Sometime BF texted me a picture he took from his work place.  I took my pictures from the local Kaiser campus, where I had to pick mum up this morning.  Mum had a procedure done and needed someone to come get her.  After I deposited her at home, I went about my merry way.  She was feeling better by the time we got home so I didn't have stay with her, like the time I spent the afternoon with mum in the emergency room.  Anyway, the Sometime BF is displaying an over protective tendency.  It's kind of nice that he looks out for me but I'm a big girl and can take care of myself.  It's sweet that he worries about the people he loves, which includes me.  I guess it's always included me.  It's funny, for so long he's denied himself his feelings for me but always found a way into my life.  Not that I've deliberately excluded him but kept him at a distance.  At a certain point I decided that he would make a better friend than lover, thus it freed me to pursue a relationship with the Brit BF.  Now that the Brit BF and I more friends than lovers, the universe decided that the Sometime BF should be my full time BF.  I'm still trying to figure out if he's for real or just having fun again.  He seems to be serious but I'm still not a hundred percent sure.  He laid out all of his cards last weekend and I believe him.  I do love him and would definitely say yes if put a ring on it.  That's always been the case it's just that he hasn't been serious up until now.  I'm glad it took a bad stomach ache to get him to realize that his feelings for me were true.  It's funny, mum asked me once if I would say yes to the Sometime BF.  I told her I would but it takes two to tango and if only one of us wants a permenant relationship than saying yes is moot.  The Brit BF was more certain about what he wants.  He's like that and I love that about him.  If means anything, they're both Tauruses, the bull.  Each, in their own way, a charging bull.  One charges toward a goal, the other charges toward protecting his loved one.  Then there's me, who need space.  The one who doesn't like being over protected.  Fortunately, the Sometime BF is sensitive enough to my feelings and knows when to back off.  Alright, I've rambled enought
