I think my H is finally getting over the nasty stuff he had.


I offered to sleep on the couch, but she refused. She was talking about getting something from a bed store yesterday, but it turns out she just wanted a new mattress for her bed...

Last night was a lot of fun - W was pretty annoyed when she came home from work, but we talked for a while and she seemed to brighten up. We had a short R talk, during which I said "I don't think either of us got very far by focusing on each other's problems rather than our own" - W seemed to like that, and she really brightened up afterwards. We picked up D, went to Wal-Mart to buy some groceries and stuff, then picked up Chinese food on the way home for dinner. W spent most of the evening after dinner working, so I did a bunch of stuff around the house and put to bed. I went to bed pretty early, but W followed me up a little later - Way earlier than her usual bed time. Came to bed, stayed the night - said she had a good nights sleep. This morning ran like clockwork - Smoother than it used to a few months ago. I got a hug/kiss/ILY when I left for work with D.

Today I didn't really talk to her much, but she called me a few times towards the end of the day - I didn't answer the first couple of calls, but I finally answered the phone when I was leaving work. She wanted to find out who was getting D and what we wanted to do tonight - Actually had a really nice conversation and talked a lot about each other's day. When D and I got home she had dinner cooking and was working on baking some goodies - Not what I was expecting at all. D and I ran out to get her some supplies to make a cake, and she's been working in the kitchen pretty much all night long. When D and I were out, she said she was going to clear out her spare room and get some stuff organized so I can put clothes in the closet and put my chest of drawers somewhere - Came home, and she'd got everything ready so I can put my clothes away...

I'm trying to avoid crowding her at home and feeling like she has to tell me what to do or entertain me. So far I think she's feeling like she doesn't have to do stuff for me, or to keep me amused, but I'm not 100% sure.
