Tonight was a decent night. She played so much she got burned out and came down and hung out with the kids and myself. We watched the movie Robots. We were friendly and we talked a bit more about the game and stuff. Any time she talks I make sure that I fully listen to her.
So that is two movies in one week. She wouldn't want to even have me be in the same room with her before. At least that is getting better. I think I still need to continue to GAL and make progress in that arena too.
Today was a good day I think. Our water heater broke and was leaking water all over the garage. I had never done anything like this before and I was able to replace it by myself. I did it in 6 hours. Not the fastest guy in the world but it was my first one and I got the job done so that we weren't without hot water for very long. I knew that this was important to take care of right away and show her that I can take care of big problems and succeed at taking them head on.
Another thing that I've recently tackled is talking to my Dad. He and I have been at odds for over 30 years. She said this was a huge problem with my emotions and that I need to deal with it. So a while back I called my Dad and we got going on the right track. Now he calls the house and asks for me and such. She tells me he called and then I call him back. Since she is answering the phone I know she knows that we're talking again and stuff. I'm doing it for myself of course, but I'm also showing her that I can be a man and tackle the biggest problems I've faced throughout my life. I'm also proving a lot to myself along the way which is most important.
Anyways, this look better as far as communication goes.
I have no idea when she will stop sleeping in her craft room on an air matress. I don't think I can be the one to invite her back. I think that would be chasing. I think she would have to come back on her own? Not sure how this will play out. I don't think she would just come back to bed one night. Who knows maybe she will if she gets comfortable enough.
