Jacob and I flew to Sweden with Pete and Colleen. The plan was to stay in Stockholm for two nights and then drive to Madrid and Barcelona. I loved exploring Stockholm. I did most of it alone. I was completely infatuated with their small food shops, particularly in their charcuterie. It was gloomy and rainy most of the time, but it was still unbelievably beautiful to me.

I tried to call Jacob using my blackberry and it just didn’t work. I had to go to the cell phone store to get a different card. Once I had that it was just so difficult to dial his phone number. Finally I went back to the hotel and decided that I’d just wait in the lobby. I’d run into him sooner or later. He finally came back to the hotel, presents in hand.

We freshened up and met up with Pete and Colleen for dinner. We laughed so much. We talked a lot about our plans on driving down to Spain and what an awesome idea this trip was. Jacob and I went to gas up the car at the biggest gas station I have ever seen in my life. The car ran on diesel. It was raining. Jacob looked really good under the fluorescent lights. Then he woke me up, tea in hand.

I wasn’t feeling well, so I drifted off again. I was in a bookstore/coffee shop and came across a book I’d been writing. I was kind of upset to see it printed because I hadn’t finished it. After I read the reviews I felt a better. I bought a copy to show Jacob and went home. When I got home, I found Janet Jackson on my living room sofa skimming through it, telling me how awesome it was. I went to go make her some tea. I woke up.
