LONG day. We agreed since I had so much shit to do, that Chels and I would dine at my place, which would afford me more time to run/clean up and pack. So Chels came over at 5 and cooked for us (awes!) while I got my run in.
Run SUCKED. I ate my yard waste at lunch (rare these days), then ate a SAUSY B for some extra CALZ. The combo of those two gave me the shits (from the fiber) and bad heartburn (the sausy B), so the run was brutal! I cut it short after TWO deuce stops, but still managed ten miles with no PRE's rock ascent.
Chelsea made an excellent dinner, then we FINALLY exchanged gifts. The big deal was the book. It was about 80 pages in a small, leatherbound journal, unlined. Each page had an illustration with text (usually only 1-3 sentences), telling our whole story, from July '12 to present.
It was AWESOME, but a little scary and VERY emotional for me. We traded off reading pages, which helped. I cried a couple times, it was really hard! It was the first time that she *knew* just about everything that *I* felt and went through in the past year, and how hard so many of those moments were.
She LOVED IT, and said it was the best gift she'd ever received. After we finished, we sat there, holding on another for a while, before finally cleaning up and heading back to her house (where she was dog sitting her ex's/kids dog).
Pretty good day. :)
