Today was my last day in Minneapolis. Christopher and I got up around 9ish so we would have a little more time together and went out for breakfast at the Seward Cafe. I saw Nils again and he caught Christopher and I "cheers"ing our coffee cups. he said it was cute. After breakfast, we walked up to the Freewheel bike shop and got Christopher a new chain and it took about 20 minutes for the repair. During that time, we just wandered around the bike shop, looking at different paint jobs, blinkies, tandems, tires. Afterward we walked back to his house and then went on a walk around the neighborhood again. We got coffee at the Second Moon and shared the cupcake from Whittney and Ashley and walked down Milwaukee Avenue. We sat in the park with the big face and it was just a wonderful closing to our visit. We split my leftover sandwich from Pizza Luce for lunch... hung out at his apartment... listened to some fun music (Milli Vanilli!) and eventually I drove him to work. There wasn't a good place to park and give him a proper goodbye so we had our abrupt farewell and I started my drive home. I listened to Andrew Bird and was crying by the time I got to 25th ave. and for a while I felt like I would never smile again until I saw him again. Luckily, after two hours or so, we got to talk on the phone for a while and I was smiling again....
the drive home wasn't bad at all. I got home around 9:45 and then caught up with my internetting (but not my blogging...) and ended up uploading pictures to Facebook and talking on the phone with Christopher for 5 hours. We stayed up until 3:30 and the most time consuming part of the conversation was the reading of my journal from last year. I was really surprised (happily) that I was comfortable reading everything that I had written about my pre-christopher life and things about our relationship and it was very good to go over the good and the bad parts and to see how things have progressed and changed. I went to bed around 3:45 with hopes of going on an 8am bike ride. that was all, I think.
