Five Days in the Vortex

Late tomorrow afternoon, I'll be winging my way west, to the mid-west, where CT will meet me in Chicago for 5 nights of sweetness and fun.

We could use it. Not last weekend, but the weekend before, we had a very sad weekend together. I don't yet have details clearance, but suffice it to say, for the moment, that neither of us had a very happy couple of days.

I'm really looking forward to our trip, 5 days doing what we please to each other and around Chicago.

But I don't have the nervous stomach anticipation of last time. For one, I know we'll have a good time both in and out of the sack, and that it will be just plain lovely to see him; that churning anxiety just isn't there. For two, I'm already a little melancholy; I will try my best to feel that now and let it go while I have him close.
