A Decent
December

    December is supposed to be the month of wrap ups, of endings.
The year comes to a close, and it gets you to thinking about ending
old habits. About closing doors and filing all the shit that’s
happened to you over the course of the year under ‘S’ in the old
mental filing cabinet. This December, however, turned out to be a
month of discoveries.
    First, I discovered my asshole boyfriend in bed with Lorna, a
bag of almost-twice-my-age from the grocery store where Al worked.
Next, I discovered a new city. My company had been on me to
relocate to their new office for months and, after finding Al
playing hide the sausage with that leather-skinned deli clerk, I
could no longer think of a reason not to move to Toronto. So, I
packed up Betty, my English Bull dog with a severe under bite, and
high-tailed it to Ontario.
    The next big discovery I made was the actual magic that is the
Hitachi Magic Wand. I’d been putting off shelling out the sixty
bucks for that little toy for over a year. Since I’d sworn off men,
however, and had yet to make any friends in Toronto to distract me
from my distinct lack of quality orgasms, I decided to give it a
go. Wowzers, am I glad I did! That thing gets me from zero
to oh in about
three and a half minutes. Two minutes if I switch it to the high
speed, which is very convenient for me if I don’t want to miss
Conan’s opening monologue. Yep, Mr. Hitachi became part of my late
night routine.
    Finally, I discovered Ned. Ned is my super hot neighbour. He
loves Betty and every time we cross paths in the hallway of our
building, he spends five minutes fawning over her. I spend an equal
amount of time chastising my heart for making these ridiculous
pitter-pattering type flips against my ribcage. I mean, I’m a grown
woman, for God’s sake. These physiological responses to cute boys
were supposed to end in grade school.
    While I admired Ned from afar, he admired Betty from up close.
He even offered his services as a dog walker, if I ever found
myself in a bind. Of course, I was positive Ned’s interest in me
began and ended with my dog. That did not stop me from fantasizing
about the man taking the place of old Mr. Hitachi once in a while.
Alas, I resigned myself to playing second fiddle to Betty. That is,
until one frigid day just a week after I arrived in
Toronto.
    “ Nina! Hey, wait up!”
    I turned to see Ned dodge a couple cars as he jogged across
the street. Even in an unflattering track suit, he was lithe and
attractive. As he caught up to me, a chocolate brown lock fell
across his forehead. Thankfully, he brushed it away with his hand
before my willpower ran out and I did it for him.
    “ Taking Betty for a walk? I was going to go for a jog, but a
walk sounds nice, too. Mind if I join you?”
    “ Sure, that’d be fun. Especially for
