Tues 12 May

Had a surprise visit from Axel last night. I had missed the text he sent on Thursday to say he was coming, so when he texted at 1:30 to say he'd be here around 7:00, it was a surprise. He had rented a car to take a friend to Chicago early on Tuesday, so he thought he'd use the opportunity to come and see us. We grilled chicken after he arrived and visited a bit before heading to bed. He hadn't been sure if he would stay over or drive back that night, but he was very tired so he decided to sleep and get up around 3 am to be back in time to pick up his friend in Madison at 6:30. I woke up just before 4 am to use the bathroom, and I saw a light in his room and his car was still here. I had to work to get a response from him as he had laid back down for "5 more minutes" and was out like a light. I roused him and sent him on his way. Food: 8:05 am 78 g cheese babka, 101 g blackberries, coffee
