Late night conversations

[quantumcupcakes]

Friday night has historically been date night; the three of us go out for a meal and a movie. It's very rare we do anything different. Tonight was one of those nights. It's been unseasonably warm in recent weeks but this week the temperature has dropped to it's normally temperatures.

Jack has issues with his back and his knees (old military and sporting injuries) and this change in the weather has them plaguing him awfully. He's been popping painkillers and anti-inflammatories and nerve painkillers and medications to ease his stomach for a couple of days and they've been knocking him out today.

So instead of going out, we ordered in and watched a movie on Netflix. Jack headed to bed early, Lucy worked on her bujo before also turning in because she had cramps. When I followed them, Jack was half-awake and the painkillers make him very... soft, for lack of a better word. We just cuddled and talked until we fell asleep.

This morning has been much the same. Lucy took the dogs out for a walk, Jack moved as far as the couch and I went out to the supermarket. Since I got back, there's been more cuddling, more Netflix and Jack's dozed off again now.

I should probably be marking tests or papers but I'm very tempted to cuddle up and join Jack in a nap
