So, I told Kerry on the phone last night that I'm free to spend three weeks in New Jersey, should she have the time and inclination. We both felt giddy and excited. My heart was racing. We were both quite speechless about it as the prospect sunk in through many layers of skin. She said she was glad she had been lying down when I delivered the news. She just kept thinking of the proximity of my visit (now, less than two weeks), saying "Wow" over and over. I told her it would give us time to be together again and talk face to face about things. She agreed. She also became deluged with ideas about how to spend the time together, as well as expressing her wild excitement about resuming carnal activity again. "Oh, my God, I'm gonna be having sex soon!" she exclaimed as loudly as she could with the restrictions of having a 12 year old daughter in the adjoining living room. So it's set. Just some more formalities to clear up, such as...
[1] Buy a plane ticket online (thanks for the tip, Rob)
[2] Get travel insurance (probably TravelDirect, they've always been kind to me)
[3] Oh, yeah, tell my parents.
[4] Sort my fucking head out.
[5] Prepare for an eight day Hell at work.
