Thursday morning she was feeling much better, which resulted in more naughtiness I went off to work happy. She texted me at work asking for a motorcycle ride to dinner and a movie. I’ve been wanting to take her to the new Studio Movie Grill, and this was a great chance. The food was fantastic and the new Indy movie was great. The night started out a little touchy, but I just acted as if. She relaxed, and I was surprised how much like old times it was, little body language hints, holding hands during the movie, etc. It’s nice when she lets her guard down a bit, but I don’t expect it very much.
Afterwards we picked up one of her prescriptions at Walgreens, and she helped me pick out a few things for around the house. I want to show her that I can make it on my own, but she seemed to really enjoy helping.
Friday morning as I left for work she was sad, which is good, I guess. She still had a lot of packing to do and get back, and it was already two days longer than she’d planned, which was very exciting. I even considered getting a new place to make her visits more pleasant, but the changes I made on the house seemed to erase the old memories. She’ll be in for a doctor’s visit in another month.
I’m still sorting through a lot of things she said, and will post more on that. One thing is that her dad has a way of saying “Lauren” when he’s not happy (which is pretty much all the time), and a headache will start coming immediately. So it’s really hard for her around the house. How much longer can she stand it? At the same time I admire her strength in doing what she feels she needs to do right now, even if I disagree.
