dolariSteph, who we'd tried to see over the weekend, finally said she couldn't make it, so the day was wide opened. We had no plans to really do anything, and I thought back wondering what was left to do, with the severe weather looming on the horizon. My phone was still flaky but not completely inoperable, so radars weren't hard to get.
We couldn't decide on what to do, so we thought about what we hadn't had for lunch. OF her whole month here, Emily had never had BBQ. So we headed to Fushak's in San Marcos for some brisket, sausage and beans. They had a BBQ buffet there, prolly the smallest buffet I'd ever seen: Brisket, sausage, beans and peach cobbler. There may have been corn and coleslaw, but I wasn't sure, since I didn't like them.
Once we had our fill, we went to Five Mile Dam to see the blanco river actually LOOK like a river for once, and just as the severe weather went in. We rode around to various crossings to see if the water level rose. Wasn't sure if it did or not, but still, the water over the dam looked great.
One last railroad spur later, we went home. Emily packed, I made fajitas for dinner (her first meal in Texas was also the same as the last). She went to bed early, I stayed up till 2, took a nap till 4, and then drove her to the airport.
It was a tough ride for me. I was already missing her, and I made sure I only left the airport when I couldn't see her anymore. I watched her go right in through security, worried when she was pulled aside for a hand search, and then lost her near Gate 9. And so ended a very very very happy month.
It was a long lonely drive home. The house is empty, and the bed doesn't feel the same without her.
