Yeah, even though it's something you need, it really does seem like he needs a break too. Having a night away will help strengthen him for the next couple days.
I'm glad you two will be with each other tonight.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger
I am, too. My college roommate's mom died at home, with hospice care, and L was always there, and the moments she could leave, just to walk the dog with us around the block, or to go grab a dinner out, were hugely needed.
It's immense.

Plus, he honestly needs a full night's sleep in his own bed. He hasn't slept at home since Thursday, and probably hasn't slept more than 3-4 hours at any one time since then.
and he needs someone who is focused on him and a safe space to break down if he needs that.

I'm glad for both of you, Steph. I know you feel like you need him right now, and I'm sure he needs you too.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
Teppy, I'm glad you will both be getting a better night's sleep tonight.
You want me to e-mail you my address?
Yes, Seska, if you do, then I have a prayer of actually getting this posted on Tuesday or Wednesday.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
I am so glad, Teppy! I am sure he will sleep better next to you.

"We're all stories, in the end. Just make it a good one, eh?"
Thinking of you and the Boy, Teppy. (And I can relate to the conflict over feeling selfish and not wanting to inflict your own needs on someone who has far too much else going on.)
For the shorter people among us, the shoulder strap on those tends to dig into the neck and chin rather than going across the shoulder.
I've been meaning to get something like this to help with that. Car journeys are uncomfortable for me anyway - this would help with one problem there! But I always, always wear a seatbelt. Back or front seat. I've had a couple of small accidents that could have been major ones without a seatbelt.
Insent, Andi.
