I offered a draw, while making the next movie, which was really a blunder, hehe

mistake, I think

 
36... axb5 37. Ke3 Qc1+
he took 30 minutes to make the next move, for some reason. He said there was a perpetual as he didn't want me to take the a2 pawn. Frankly, I wouldn't have taken it, as it looses the e, e, and b pawns.

 
38. Kxe4 Qc6+ 39. Ke3 Qxg2 40. Qe4+
this seems like a pretty stupid move to me, but what do I know.

 
40... Qxe4+ 41. Kxe4
Fun fact: I thought I lost because of a5 - it took me 10 minutes to figure out that I could push to b4 - I clearly don't understand how pawns work.

 
41... b4 42. Kd4 h5 43. Kc4
And here I blundered, wait for it.

 
43... g4
I was convinced that the pawn has to take. I honestly didn't think that he could play h4. How blind am I. I was sure I had won, hehe. If I had played h5 instead, I think that was a win.
