SPM -

I was just asking if you had a new thread so I oculd catch up on your sitch. Call or e-mail any time, my brother.

In fact, I'm going to be in Seattle from the 30 of July through Aug. 4, so we should look to meet up for a beer - maybe even an M's game on Sunday, Aug. 3 or something?

Latest Update --

I've been working on getting the house on the market and we decided to have an open house next weekend, so I've been working frantically the past few days as I have my D on Sunday through Tuesday then I'm gone. So, I know time is precious. Today I was painting the exterior trim and although I loathe painting, it wasn't too bad. I almost got finished, but will wrap it up tomorrow. The plan is to have the paint can opened by 7 at the latest, so if I can do that, I'll be done w/ major painting by 11 or earlier tomorrow and only have touch-ups to do from there!

W and I talked tonight when D called for me. D is having W read stories to her on the phone so I can hear them too, so we've been doing that for the past couple of nights. As she tends to do, W sent me a text that didn't need to be sent - telling me D's toes and fingers were painted - after D and I had said goodnight to each other. My DB coach said W continues to show that she just can't stay away from me and that is a positive. So, I'll take it for what it is right now - baby, baby step - and keep trying to reward her when she's being nice and ignore the mean stuff to try and pattern her to stop it once and for all.

So, that's what's going on w/ me. I know I'm working on my diet and weight, but after spending 7+ hours outside painting in our heat today, I broke down and I'm enjoying several ice cold beers. I love the times I'm allowed to cheat on the diet. Those days just taste so darn good!
