Yesterday was a better day. We had a great breakfast, we went to the aquarium, had cookie dough by the slice, the weather was good, we took a nap, had bbq for dinner. Probably one of the better days on this trip. We also had a good discussion about things. As I have mentioned, it's taken us two years, but finally B came forth with she's as sick of me as I am of her. We both need a break. We have been in each other's space non-stop for 2 bloody years. It's okay. It just is what it is. Sometimes people need some alone time and when you don't get it, it sucks. But by being able to have that discussion we both felt like a weight is off our chests. We head to Lexington today and instead of staying the night, we're probably going to drive straight home after dinner. Just be done with this trip so we can be back home and truly relax. The problem is that while B is enjoying the activities, which were planned with her in mind, the act of being on the road, staying in hotels, walking to places, etc, is all ME. It's what I enjoy. If I could have teleported B to the activities, it would have all been good. There lies the big disconnect. They don't mind doing the activities as long as they can be in their own bed at night. Me, I want to be AWAY from my own bed. So, now we know what works and doesn't right now. Neither of us sees this as a long term thing. We both recognize that what's happening has as much to do with the state of the world as anything else. For example, there were still things closed at the aquarium. Exhibits not open. Backstage tours not available. Having to wear a mask all day. It's tiring and takes something away from the experience.
So yeah, that's where we're at right now.
