Hope4us struggle, part 7

[Hope4us]

Good morning peeps.

Thought I'd post an update. Not much communication at work Friday, but W was busy so it wasn't unexpected. W also told me yesterday afternoon that one of her friends at work (not the enabler gf) stopped by her office and they talked for about an hour. This is good. I don't know if W would share anything about our sitch with this woman, but I do know that this friend had some problems with her H but DIDN'T pull anything like W did and is either working on their marriage or have worked things out. She is closer to our age and WAY more mature than EGF, so it was good to hear. This lady works in another area of the plant W works at so she stops by about once a month to talk with W. I can only see good things from their friendship.

So shortly after we got home from work Friday I took off for hometown. We talked for a few minutes before I left and when I was walking out the door I told W I'd see her Saturday and she said "ok, have a good time". So I'm driving to hometown and thought to myself, I wonder how long it will be before W TM's me? Took about an hour, but right on que, I get a text from her. She had seen something on the news about airlines cutting flights and raising their prices and wanted to know if we already have our flights for our Oct trip. I replied that we did and the conversation went on for a while. Her last reply to me too about 10 minutes after I sent my last one and when I got home yesterday she made a point to tell me she was sorry that the last reply too so long but she couldn't get the message to send and she had to turn her phone off and then back on to get it to send. I thought that was good that she made the point of telling me why it took so long to get the last reply. And when she sent the first TM she started it with "sorry to bother you". Another good thing. Ok, so that was long about some simple TM's but it just shows me she's still making progress. And the other thing is, she KNOWS we have our airline tickets. We've talked about it a number of times, when I made the reservations, when we were driving by the airport (first time we've flown out of the airport near our home since we relocated) and one other time when we discussed how nice that will be only being 20 minutes from the airport.....so I saw her TMing me to ask about that as a way to get a conversation started because she wanted to talk to me and this was the way to do it.

So I got to our friends house and had a great evening. They'd ordered pizza from our favorite local pizza shop and had it waiting when I got there. We ate while enjoying a couple of adult beverages and then got in their pool and stayed there till about 10 pm. Went inside and continued the evening. It was a GOOD time.

Sat morning went to my golf outing and played REALLY WELL. It was a scrambles and not to brag, but I carried our team. We ended up in second place in our flight and won $10 bucks for that! And then I won the putting contest and won another $105 bucks for that! WooHoo!

So I start heading home and TM W and tell her I won the money and that started a long TM exchange. She was telling me how awesome I was playing golf and what had gone on the night before and what she was doing during the day etc. I stopped in town before leaving and picked up a supply of our favorites from there. Ice Cream, Chinese food and Potato chips, all of our favorites that you can't get anywhere but our hometown. So when I walked in the house, W got a big smile on her face. She was giving me a hard time about how she'd just finished losing the weight she'd put on the last time I brought these things home 3 weeks ago, but then said "what the he11" and grabbed one of the chinese take outs. She then checked the freezer to make sure I bought her favorite flavor of Ice Cream and I nailed it so she complimented me on that too.

I went out on the deck where she was sitting in the sun and she got up to go inside, so I followed her in and asked if she was going back outside and she said she wasn't going to and I said ok and she asked why and I said I was just going to sit outside for a while and she said Ok, she'd go back out with me and then we talked and talked and talked.

All in all another very good weekend so far. Good GAL activity, W initiating contact with me, W comes outside with me when she was done sitting out because she obviously wanted to talk to me. Just good. Really good.

And she was sitting out with me in her teenie tiny bikini and man oh man, it was killing me. She kept swinging her chair around so I was getting full displays of her sexy body, she'd lean over so the girls were hanging out of her top. It's almost time for a cold shower just thinking about it.

Ok, I know this is long, but I was just in a mood to write. Thanks for checking in on me.
