I wondered when my thread was going to lock. Is that a record - 18 pages?
Yesterday was a very good day for me. It was my b'day and I had a lovely day (off site meeting) with my co-workers. They even got me a cake!
My H had called me in the morning to confirm that he wanted to take me out for dinner. He called me honey and I even got an ILY! Probably 2 of the best b'day gifts I have ever received.
We went to dinner, and it meant a lot to me because he came home very dirty, hot and tired. He is also covered in poison ivy and I knew that he was miserable.
What could have easily turned into a terrible night was actually very enjoyable because he made such an effort.
We talked quite a bit about our upcoming couples weekend next weekend, and discussed that he might go fishing (with the buddy that I like him to be with) this weekend.
More cautious optimism. I continue to listen and watch. It means everything that he is trying.
Most of us are about as happy as we make up our minds to be.
