snuggling under the stars
B came over Friday, we started with hot tub time, I'd offered to cook, but he wanted to maximize hot tub time by having dinner delivered,
which we ate outside,
and then -- --
he wanted to use his telescope, so we walked to the elementary school playground, which I hadn't walked to since Dax,
--
set up his telescope, laid out a blanket, and then snuggled under those few stars we could see in suburban Maryland, given the light pollution, but,
his telescope could see through all the fucking pollution, it showed us Saturn, it showed us another galaxy, Andromeda, WTF,
as we snuggled on the blanket, and then,
two deer were standing over there, then three deer, then four,
OMG, B, they're going to eat us!
then five deer, then six, then seven,
I decided we would walk toward them as we left, I would face my deer fears,
B, pushed, no, to the other path,
I insisted, I would face the deer,
I face my fears,
and they did not eat me
