The Long and Winding Road...

[bhopeful]

So I stopped off and bought some flowers, a can of soup, and some OJ on my way home from snowboarding. I knew that my W has been sick, so I wanted to brighten her day a little. I didn't really expect her to be there as she usually spends Sundays at her parents house.

When I got to her place she was sleeping on the couch but she invited me in and told me to take a seat on it with her. I told her that I couldn't stay long as I had been gone all day and I had to get home to the dogs. She said that she understood but we ended up talking for 20 minutes or so. It came up that she had run out of cold medicine so I offered to run out and get some for her. She said that I didn't have to, but I could tell that she really wanted me to get it for her. So I ran out.

When I got back from that I didn't expect to even take my shoes off as I had to really get home now. But she was on the couch and told me to come in again and so I did. I reiterated that I should get home to the dogs, but then she suggested that I call the neighbors and have them let the dogs out for me. I made the call and they were around so they took care of them for me.

I spent around four hours at her place. I gave her a back rub since she was pretty sore from coughing so much. She ended up falling asleep with her head in my lap while I watched the football game. I had my arm stretched out on her and she buried her head into in and held onto it. Even though she is sick, it was a very comfortable and sweet evening.

Quick update as I was writing this, she called and thanked me for coming over.

So a HUGE thanks to transformer for the suggestion and encouragement. Tonight ended up being a great positive. Here's hoping that everyone else had a good weekend too.

Peace,
