Well, hopefully all the mutual de-stressing keeps us afloat long enough to get to a point where we're experiencing less constant stress! At least your productivity trip is making the world a more beautiful place. Usually I'll find something to organize, or make lists, or try to learn a new skill (I got pretty good at making origami birds and nautical knots recently, not that I'll ever use either).

I love you too, and I hope you don't feel too much pressure to look after me. You don't need more stress! But yeah, that's my dream house too, and the hope that that can be a possibility someday is keeping me going. I've spent my entire life doing everything that other people wanted, so it'd be nice to maybe have something for me (feels wrong to say!)? It'd be nice if we could both get some peace.

I look forward to asking you how your day was in person and picking out curtains.
