2024-10-28 “Back To The Grind” by Hannah (born 2002)

I don’t mind saying that the time-shifting does not come without problems. Recently Addison and Jacob shifted back to 1880. Meaning the 1880 versions of them shifted here. Meaning the voluptuous body of Addison is inhabited by a man from 1880. Meaning…

So, he came to me saying something was wrong. He thought he was sick or something, eventually getting to the point that certain bits of his chest were sore, and getting more and more sensitive.

“We need to talk,” I said.

He had not worn a bra since he had changed clothes for the first time. There was a certain amount of jiggling and such that had… caused irritation. I explained that his body type coupled with Addison’s normal routine more or less required a bra unless he was just not going to move around.

While I was at it, we had “the talk” about “aunt Flo coming to visit” just in case that comes up. He was pretty much repulsed, but eventually accepted his time-traveler fate.

I don’t know if I should be annoyed or amused. To be honest, all of the time shifting comes at a cost.

Splitting my time between Merritt in 2024 (born in 1960) and Merritt in 1880 (born in 2000), has me feeling a bit… something. It’s like we just get some momentum going, then suddenly, 144 years have shifted and… something. It’s like going halfway back to the start each time.

I suppose, however, I’d say things are good. As I’ve said, I hope he turns out to be “the one” even though the chances are low that the first man I’ve seriously considered for the long term is, as they say, “Mr. Right.”. Google says adults will have on average 5 to 10 potential, serious, relationships. But I feel like he could really be it.

We just need to get on track and stop getting separated. I don’t know… It’s just crazy. 

I’m still hoping it works out, even though right now it seems a little stalled.
