AM
There was nothing more beautiful than being in bed with your arms around me this morning. Even though I couldn't really sleep last night, I was just very content and I felt rested anyway. When it came to getting up, I didn't want to. Of course I was so excited about my trip out to see my Mum but I didn't want the time of you being home to be over.
I kind of functioned through the morning trying to focus on the tasks at hand and not saying goodbye again. I wanted you to drive to the station because that way I could pretend you were just dropping me off and would be going home again and be there when I'm back again. Even my imagination isn't that good at keeping me in the denial though.
Thank you for waving me off on the train platform.
The airport time went through pretty smoothly. The queues for check in were mental as there was a flight to Calgary at the same time through the same airline but the rest went pretty okay. We timed things well so I had only a little bit of time to pass in the departure lounge. I got frisked through security - very rude! However they have updated things since I last went through Manchester airport - you stand in front of a comical SARK-esque drawing of a body and hold your hands over your head whilst a machine scans you - rather than people touching you. I found the whole process a tad comical anyway.

I bought An Apple a Day to read in WHSmiths - think it'll do me good to read and I'll let you read it when I'm back. I also had a sly trip into Paperchase ... would've been rude not to no? I wish you were there to help me pick the stickers - but I picked out a couple of little bits that I can maybe send to you or bring for your room when I'm back.
I felt a bit sick getting on the plane - mostly because I knew I was going to be disconnected from you for 7 hours or so. Even though not being with you physically is hard enough, there has been much solace through our little phone screens. You were in my heart though and as I said to you - whilst I was up in the sky I could beam down so many snuggles from the sky.
I won't go into the details about my flight - it wasn't the most pleasant! I know you would've growled at some people for repeatedly elbowing me in the head. I can't wait until you can go on an plane for the first time. Everything has become rather routine to me now but I guess it is really exciting as a new experience. My seating circumstances were unfortunate but otherwise it was a good trip.
When I got off the plane I put my phone on straight away to try and text you but apparently it picks up no service at all here - probably just as well because I would've spent a fortune no doubt over the duration of my stay. It did panic me a bit but I knew my Mum would keep you in the loop and you could sit tight for a while.
It was amazing walking into the departure lounge and my Mum screamed! And we just ran to each other and had a massive long hug. Lol - everyone was looking at us and smiling but it was a very special moment. Then she gave me a hug from you as well and that really warmed me right to the core. I wish you could be here so, so badly and I know my Mum does too. Driving back from the airport, my breath was taking away by the beauty in this country at this time of year - so much space and so much colour. I kept wishing I could take snap shots with my eyes and send them to you. ... I know I bang on so much about the beauty of autumn - but it really does touch something within me that is difficult to explain. I just want to share anything that beautiful with you.
When I got in and unpacked my case - I found the card you had snuck in it and felt a rush of a emotion knowing that I had quite literally carried a piece of you in my suitcase with me and I didn't even know. Thank you so much - I will open it on our anniversary.
I was glad you were still awake to send the odd message back and forth even though it was getting very late for you - I will try my best to navigate around the time difference anyway.
This is day five down - possibly the longest of them all too.
Five days closer to freedom.
Five days closer to when you may possible be able to come out and share all this with me too.
