Friday, May 25. Susie had to work today, so Doug and I had some just us time. We talked, we went to a great place for lunch, we played Munchkin, and we watched many many episodes of Highlander (TV series). Doug, Susie and I all went out to dinner together (chinese food) and then went 'on post' to get some provisions for the evening. We talked and played munchkin and the wii (whee) and got pretty silly.
Susie and I eventually decided to go on a walk. It was raining that drippy, misty, slow-soaking rain when we went out. It's been raining here since Thursday evening, so everything is pretty saturated. We walked and talked about our lives, how hard it is to admit when you've made a mistake, how hard it is to look at yourself, how hard it is to love yourself, and how all these things are essential. All these things make you stronger. Susie is one awesome woman, and I'm so happy that she and Doug are together. They both seem really happy and good for each other. Doug came out to find us after 45 minutes. We came inside, got some refreshment, and then went back out and walked & talked some more. We were probably out another 15-30min when it started raining hard, and we finally came in for good. We all talked a while longer before finally calling it a night at 2am. Yay for connecting and reconnecting with friends.
Saturday, May 26. Slept in...and that felt so good. Susie had some solo shopping time today, so Doug and I spent some more "just us" time together. We talked, played wii, went to another great place for lunch, and then came back to the house and watched more Highlander tv series episodes. (yay for geeking out on highlander!) Doug, Susie, and I went to dinner at a great little mom 'n' pop italian restaurant (yum) and then got icecream at another little mom 'n' pop place (double yum). We came back played more wii and munchkin (yay for geeking out on video games and munchkin). Tonight is early bed time for everyone. Doug has to leave for work at 6am (stupid army hours) and so has to be in bed early. I'm trying to get sleepy too since tomorrow is my departure day.
The big solo adventure will resume...I dont know where I'm going to stop tomorrow, but it will be somewhere between Copperas Cove, TX and Santa Fe, NM. I have no city planned, and certainly no lodging secured. I'm going to really push my edge on this one and see where I land. Spontaneity is not something I'm good at or comfortable with. I like plans, I like security, and it is high time for me to come back to being playful and trust the universe (and myself).
