     10:55am  I woke up from a nap about fifteen minutes ago. We both tried to take a nap, but she didn't fall asleep. We're finishing up the house. I'm going to take pictures.
                  
     8:32pm  I just want to thank you, universe. Thank you, Love for my beautiful mermaid you granted me with. We are taking off, finally today. I think I've been at Laura's for about a week. I could look it up. Since the 29th, I think and it's already the twelfth. It's awesome how I've been able to crash here. Even awesomer how we made loves a couple times at first. I am still so in awe that she's fifty five years old! She's like five years younger than my mom! She's totally ageless, man. She's just beautiful.

                   Laura is really the master packer. We did so much work on the house.

     8:52pm  I am so stoned and happy. I love Laura so much. It still blows my mind that she's twenty five years older than me. We've had this beautiful mini-relationship. She totally believes in me and is totally supporting the cause. We're going to go up to her property in Virginia and set up a tent that attaches to the car. I'll take pictures. It will be awesome. What a wild adventure I am having. I am loving the East Coast so far.

     9:40pm  We are all loaded up and ready to go. First thing is go pick up the tee shirts from Aaron's. Where we're going to put them I have no idea. Laura's Pathfinder is jam-packed.

                     Random shots of house.  I took a lot of them.  Here's some more.

                    

     10:21pm  I just took pictures of my new shirts! I have twenty shirts, after all. Not thirty. It was still a good deal. Eleven dollars a shirt. Havethisbook.com on the back is awesome. The only thing I didn't like about these is that the WPTMJ phrase is a little smaller and it's a bit lower on the shirt. It's not up by the neckline, like the one Ezrah made me in San Antonio. I am not sure if I'll still charge fifty bucks for them. So I got twenty larges. He left four XL's out of the order so he said he'd mail them to me. He can mail it to Laura's PO box in Washington, Virginia.

     10:06pm  About fifteen minutes ago we had a little mishap. My strap-down job, which I was all paranoid about, all of a sudden the tent was hanging on the side. I had to pull it inside through a window. We took the next exit and parked in some Burger King parking lot. Laura figured out an ingenious way to strap everything down better. Good job, Laura.

     10:16pm  Oh my gosh, we just messed up. Laura didn't notice it was a one-way street when we left the BK parking lot. All these cars were all honking at us. 21st Street and 13th Avenue. We had pulled over in the Burger King parking lot to secure the car. Laura didn't see that the sign said one-way and she turned left.

     10:52pm  We stopped at some Hess Express on 75, which she got on accidentally. We didn't stay on I4. We're going to pass Ocala. We are already on the other side of Tampa though. She's paying for gas since there's nobody to ask, hehe.

     11:35pm  About fifteen minutes ago we stopped at the McDonald's in Lake City. I bought a burger.

     11:53pm  We already hit I10. We are stopping at the gas station at Exit 301.

Next day..
