Jak and Matilda, It's interesting that you think my W allowing the teacher to guide me is a big step. Can you care to elaborate?
Our guest left this morning. Having a guest is stressful. You lose some of your privacy, and have to play host. I was irritable the last day, but managed to be on good behavior for the duration of the visit.
My W continues to be on good behavior these past several weeks. She is grateful for what I contribute, and has lost her temper with me only once that I can think of. I can't remember a similar stretch of time, where she's worked at managing thoughts and emotions.
My most recent poem is about desire on the dance floor, and how we create a "grass is greener" scenario in our minds, rather than enjoying and appreciating the connections we have. I consider my poems to be rough drafts, until I learn some poetry craft and revise them.
She continues with spearheading home improvement projects. The remainder of the hardwood floors are being refinished. She bought three state-of-the-art flat screen televisions--two for the bedrooms, and a 46" one for her entertainment room. She also had cable installed. I've tended to think cable TV was too much a luxury item, but don't dispute it, since she has the cooking job.
