I am glad I got to work from home today as I was not in the mood to deal with people in person. I did have a proposal presentation and a conference call, and those went fine. The presentation helped as I was able to focus on it and forgot all about my broken heart. After my conference call, I forced myself to focus on work.

After work, my sister called. I have been too embarrassed to tell her so I was surprised she knew. Although she wouldn't say how, I suspect Maria told her. We talked about the whole thing. I told her how amazing he was and how well we got along. I then told her how I found out. When I was done, she was silent for a minute and then asked me if I needed a list of poisons that are very hard to trace in a dead body? That was so out of the blue and she sounded so serious that I burst out laughing. Only my sister can make me laugh when I feel this down. She gets my morbid sense of humor. We then talked about what I should do and she gave me some good ideas on how to approach the wife, if that is what I decide to do. 

After that, she dropped a bombshell on me. She said she has been dating this fellow student doctor. At this news, I put my problems up on the shelf. My sister, the nerdy, study hard doctor is dating? I made her tell me everything. His name is Lenard and they graduated from medical school together. They try to see each other as much as they can, but they both have very busy schedule. She said she likes him and all, but doesn't think the relationship will survive past then end of the internship. Then, my sweet, innocent little sister said something that let me speechless. She said they were both using each other for sex. My sister, having sex? I told her that this cannot be. She is and always be my sweet little sister and thus a virgin. Although I could not see her face, I know she rolled her eyes at me and said, right, just like you are my sweet big sister and still a virgin too.  We both laughed. I will admit, she is a grown woman and can do what she wants with her body, and I knew she dated people, but I just never thought about her having sex. I guess that is something a sister just doesn't want to think about. In fact, I bet my parents think neither of us have had sex before. I am not saying they would be against it, just that they have probably never thought about it. I guess you don't think about things like that because you don't want to.

Cheers for now.
