Colleen[20]: Nice day after a rocky start

[mdlbear]

I was feeling deeply worried this morning, and frazzled earlier this afternoon, with more errands to run than time to run them in. But I picked up Colleen a little after 2pm and she wanted a drive and some shopping, so in the end the only errand that didn't get run was picking up the replacement headlight bulb for the Honda. Tomorrow, when Honda's parts department is open. Gin, coffee, sponges, and green scrubbies did get obtained, and I got to push Colleen around Yamagami's Nursery on her new rolly, to look at the flowers and get some fresh air. Between that and a half-hour walk this morning, I've even had some exercise.

We'll make it.

I hadn't realized until these last few weeks just how much we both need time together and simple, physical touch. I've known for a long time how much Colleen needs them, but it turns out that we both have the same idea of a good time: a little recreational window-shopping and a long quiet drive with the occasional light touch and a bit of conversation. Yeah, sex is wonderful, and warm, happy snuggle is probably even better. Simple companionship may be the best of all.

The kids are out gaming; I'm here at home finishing off some leftovers for dinner, and heading back to White Blossom at 8pm to help Colleen mainline her dinner.
