Uber, quiet (not great English) warm but not unbearable and traffic not too terrible. We enjoy the road trip and I snatch some selfies to her annoyance. I love pictures of her no matter what state of make up preparation she’s in. It allows me solace when I can’t see her in person, forgive me.

Another big city, another first, excited and nervous, we approach our hotel and escape the pan-handle-ers to get inside. Room is awesome and we careful admire the mini bar without disturbing anything. Head to the make shift bar and hope we don’t get blown away. Good drinks and irritating neighbors we head back to plan the evening.

We check out a local Irish bar and venture to a local dive bar too. It was crowded and one particular guy was a little too friendly, think drugs were involved. We’d started to want some fun so went in search of something better and ended up dancing with kids that couldn’t dance, I either showed them up or me, not sure which much my beautiful lady seemed to like it. We stayed as long as we could tolerate the company and headed off, stopping briefly to visit a bar with the dirtiest toilet in the state, perhaps they need a certificate for that. Back home and bed.

The rest of the trip involved hotel frolicks, longest ever (ahem), fun with chairs, mirrors, orders, windows (sorry city folk, hope you liked the show). More bars, unwanted discussions about bukkake and an incredible day at a very special pier.

Great lunch, sadness of our impending departure abound, my goddess was sad and I dragged her to play in attempt to lift her spirits. We stopped for photos and got compliments from passers by, thanks (I think). I did make her smile (my soul was nourished again), losing at air hockey, killing zombies and returning credits for a prize. A ring I hope she cherishes, it meant a universe more than the plastic it was made of! Lifting her lips into a smile made me glow, our time was growing short and I needed to keep those beautiful lips upturned for as long as possible. I did my best, I think it worked for a while. What really brought a smile to her face was the scratchcard win, thank you universe!

My incredible woman, our adventures are unsurpassed, not enough space on the internet to put everything into words. Your hand in mine is all the strength I need. I love you, I worship you. I count the seconds until we are together again.

Lord, your healing worked well, thank you for answering my prayers. I looked after her as well as I could and ensured she took her meds without fail (albeit with a pouty face)

Universe, you seem to continually surpass yourself, I’m a believer.
