Y11 D270

Made it through day two. Luckily both of the students are early people. They both were ready to go by 6:30 so I finished around 1pm. No complaints there. Afterwards, I took a short nap, then B and I went to a record store so I could get some records for the new turntable. Got the Eagles, Pat Benatar, and the Romantics all for $8. Used records are like going to a used book sale. You get a lot for your money. Plus it brings back nice feelings of nostalgia for me. I enjoyed. After we went to our favorite hot dog place. We have become known by the owner and his staff so that makes it more enjoyable. We get good food and get to chit chat with people. I got a lot out of that. Came back, relaxed, spent some quality time together, went to bed. A good Wednesday. The snow is finally starting to melt and I have one more week at home before the pain starts. I have a 1/2 day session today with 17 people but it will go quick and be painless. Then I am done for a few days. B got tickets for Kesha in Chicago. Speaking of that, I am going to Chicago in July for my birthday and probably going by myself. Not because B doesn't want to go or vice versa, but we both know if I go by myself I will be able to walk more, eat where I want, go to boring shit (to her) like the museum, etc. Going alone is a gift, not a slight. We talked it through and came to that decision. I think people are so conditioned to do things like that "as a couple" that there's this inherent guilt about wanting to go somewhere alone. Luckily we can talk about shit like this. As a matter of fact, we had a conversation the other night where we agreed that we have the best communication of any relationship either of us has ever had. Case in point, me wanting to be able to wander and do whatever in Chicago. So I will go 7/6 - 7/8 and have a quiet time. Have Gino's pizza, see the bean, hit an irish pub. Perfect.
