the last couple of days have been like a whirlwind. hastily planned trips have ended up paying off better than expected. she showed up monday night (it felt like it had been a lot longer than a week since we last saw each other) and passed my house. i grabbed my board and skated down the street, chasing her down. i eventually got her turned around and back on the right block. she arrived in one piece. that's all i could have ever asked for.

a lazy night at home. a beautiful dinner at ramsi's.

kentucky bourbon and coke in the newly amazingly clean upstairs…high life on the front porch swing. pizza from wick's. even my cat likes her.

i don't really know what else to say.

her stay was too short. i know we'll see each other again soon.

i'm probably going to remain quiet on this one for a while. i have jinxed myself way too many times to know better, at this point.

trust me. i'm happy.
