Hello again, all! Long time no post, eh?
Let's seewhere to start. Okay, so last time, I was preparing for the arrival of my lady for a week long recuperative stay. So she arrived on Monday the 21st, and was supposed to leave this past Monday, but through some slight miscommunication and an apparent groundswell of good luck, she's still here!
Melon will be staying through to this Sunday, and even though she was supposed to leave a few days ago, it will still be a serious bummer when she leaves. Actually, that is a severe understatement. It's going to be very difficult to go back to my normal life when she's gone.
I'd like to put some stuff out there. I love this girl. She is so amazing in so many ways, I can't even tell you. I can tell you though that there are times when I look at her and I feel like my heart might burst. I really wish there were words stronger than "I love you", because those three somehow just don't seem to cover it. I've never felt so strongly about someone in my whole life, and I've felt some pretty intense emotions in the past. When I see Melon smile, or when I hear her laugh, it makes my past, even with all of the terrible and difficult things that I've been through, a life worth having lived.
I'm a highly solitary person by nature. I always have been. I could go weeks without talking to anyone at all and be perfectly fine. It's not like that with Melon. I want to talk to her every day. The entire time she's been here, I haven't been able wait to get home to see her again. To be with her. To make dinner for her. To hold her, and kiss her, and tell her I love her. At no point in the last couple of weeks have I wished I was going home to be by myself. I've never once wanted Melon to go back home. I feel like she is home. I feel like I'm home. I honestly never want to be without her. I would be perfectly happy to wake up and kiss her good morning every day for the rest of my life. To live a life with her would be to live a life complete.
Melon, you are wonderful, and I love you with all my heart.
Okay, that concludes the emo portion of this entry.
Sorry. 
So what have we been up to, you ask? You really are just the most thoughtful bunch, aren't you?. There has been lots, I mean LOTS of Boggle going on. It's awesome. It's so cool that she enjoys playing so much. It's really fun to think together, and to see how our brains work differently. We've also been playing a lot of Scattergories, another awesome word game. Oh, and there has been quite a bit of Guitar Hero going on, and I'm very happy to say that Melon is improving by leaps and bounds. That's especially nice since her back problem is going to keep her from any literal leaping and bounding for quite some time.
There's been lots of "Millennium", which is actually a much better show than I thought it would be. Most of the dialogue, and some of the acting could use some work, but the stories are generally pretty cool, and Melon loves it, so it's worth the watch. We also watched some Stephen Chow movies, which thankfully and somewhat surprisingly, Melon seemed to really like. We also watched Texas Chainsaw Massacre (the original, of course), which led us into a debate about whether or not one should feel sympathetic towards Leatherface. I think I managed to make a pretty reasonable case.
I've also been doing a lot of cooking. Last night I prepared a tasty (if I do say so myself) London Broil. Tonight is baked chicken. Melon has been craving stuffing (keep the jokes to yourselves), so the chicken was a good choice. I'm thinking some mashed potatoes and maybe some broccoli as well. Tomorrow I think will be homemade pizza, and then barbecue ribs on Saturday.
Oh, and the other day we went down to the waterfront after dinner, had ice cream, and watched the sunset together. It was really lovely. Melon said that no one has ever just watched the sunset with her before, which I thought was really sort of tragic, so I'm extra happy that I got to share that with her. It was most certainly a perfect moment.
Okay, thus concludes my report. Although Melon is clearly not miraculously healed after her stay here, I think things are better for her, and at least she's had some time to relax and live a different life for a little wile. I look forward to taking care of her for her remaining days here.
Here are a few pictures from the past week:

Take care, all. I hope you're all well.

Yeah actually the chocolate was not too baconlicious. It was just a little bit crunch and just a smidgen salty.
