23... Qxa4 24. Nxa4 Ne4+
Of course

 
25. Kf3 f5 26. Rb3
Considered g4, but have 20 some minutes and thought it was too complicated to figure out...choose instead to block the b pawn and eliminate the fork of Nc3. Preparing d5

 
26... Rfd8
Thwarts d5

took 7 of my 24 minutes to think about this, the room is HOT, I'm tired and I'm not sure of this move. Trying to get to 40 moves without too much damage

So the rooks are covering each other in case a file opens

 
28... Kf7 29. a3
I want his pawns

I use 4 of my 14 minutes to think about this. Hanging on for 40 moves and more time

After I moved, I saw a fork with Ne5 , then realized he could have responded in time with Nd2 and fork

 
37... Re6 38. Rb7+
Motivated by wanting to break any possibility of fork

 
38... Kf6
Kg8 would have protected the h pawn
