I am Lemongrab. I like nearly everything a certain way. There are some things that I have to have even when the manner of execution makes no sense to anyone else. My ex-wife was brilliant at pointing this fact out.

I also discovered this week that I can’t deal seeing my GF once a week. I wouldn’t have known it if we hadn’t spent this many days apart. The current tally is now 6.

I texted her that even if it’s brief, I need to see her 2-3 weekly. And she said that she wants a mid-week hang and we should alternate driving.

I live in the city and she’s closer to the mountains.

I did all the driving with my ex-GF with a handful of exceptions and I don’t have my gas guzzler anymore so my driving isn’t an issue at all.

I have my long hair appointment today. I think that I’ll read about psilocybin when I’m in the chair. “Queen Ester” is at work and I just need to power through with that and set more limits with clients so I can move to a new book. I’m enjoying it, and it’s reeeally difficult to read at work.

I digress.

After my hair appointment I’m helping my GF’s daughter with some picture hanging. I’ll bring my level and my yardstick. My GF has a drill.

Then I don’t know what we’re doing for our weekend date. She’s a Game Day girl. She tells me what she wants to do after having some private reflection. She’s also a wee bit impulsive.

I like that.

Then everything else about her is steady and measured.

Her parenting.

Her daily walk.

Her long career.

Did I mention that I’m desperately missing her?

Right before I got out of bed around 6 am, I was having a dream about kissing her. I could feel everything… It was detailed and lovely.

I’M NOT GOING TO DO A WEEK AGAIN!
