Separate Days Off

Seemed a little odd at first that we'd take separate days off, however, I now remember how much I love my own company. I took me on a day trip. 4:30am gym, a great bike ride, the train, a bike trail to the beach--a new adventure since who knew there is a Wantagh Parkway Bike trail with a guardrail, very few hills, and it ends at Jones Beach Theater and the BEACH! It was heavenly. Got a chicken roll from a local pizza spot, and am now kicking back at home and chilling. It was the perfect day. Of course I wish I spent it with my lover, however, at the very same time, this was quiet time for me. And sometimes, I might even want to be with my friends sometimes and have adventures. It still feels tender at 4 1/2 months to ask for time alone to just chill and do my own thing, but I'm doing it. And it was great.

Again, what do I know about these things, but the adventure of being in a relationship, one that seems to keep growing stronger--a well fed and lit oak tree seedling...well, it's an amazing thing. Rollercoaster cool, as were all the Playland rides with him a week ago.
