A cut above. After spending all night convincing myself that calling my no-longer girlfriend but recurring lover was not a good idea, I broke down and texted her when I woke up for work. By 3 pm I'd left work for a "family emergency" and was in bed with her. This was by necessity of both of our childcare responsibilities short lived, but oh so sweet. I left with time to kill, so I went to my new favorite SE Portland dive (where I was carded!) and ordered a greyhound with a lime mashed in it and sat outside in the sunshine sipping and reading The City & The City by China Mieville. Right when I sat at the outdoor picnic table "Paint It Black" by the Stones started playing. SPRING AT LAST! (she just texted "Thank You" as I wrote this, which from her is incredible). sigh.
