Well, it was another long, tiring weekend, but mostly in good way. Had to drive 4 hrs round trip on Sat with too little sleep so I had to load up on the 5-Hr Energy Shots.
The air show was fun but it was too windy so some of the flights had to be cancelled and my biplane ride was cancelled. Ah, well. Today W FB messaged me that maybe next year I can do it (this is second time I've tried).
She had her moments of crabbiness, but I realized she was just as tired as me, and has been having a very hard time at work. This helped me to keep it in perspective. She threw her hands up thinking I was going the wrong way once and I calmly told her I go that way a lot, rather than snap back at her.
After the air show, she didn't seem eager to head back. She suggested we drive around the countryside, then walk around the town, where we visited a bookstore and had some pizza. When we finally got home we watched some TV and napped on the couch a bit. After watching more TV she said she'd like to stay the night. It was a platonic sleepover, LOL. She stayed on the couch after I went to bed - but she felt comfortable enough to stay for the first time, rather than go back to the other house in the dark. In the morning she suggested we go to brunch and another bookstore - can you tell we like to eat and read?!
She seemed reluctant to leave. It's hard to describe the looks - she can go from looking worried to smiling and back. I still haven't even tried to give her so much as a hug or a kiss on the cheek. That would to have to come from her for me to really know it's ok.
