Maybe I should be in piecing part 2?

Good Point Pup. Maybe sometimes I use this board to vent too much and that gives people the idea that it's all doom and gloom, and it's not.

I can honestly say, except for the week AFTER vacation, the last couple months have been about as normal as they can be, and W seems to be more of her REAL self each day. Maybe the Alien has left the building and will only return for a visit periodically.

Break, Thanks for that. I hadn't thought of it that way, but you're correct. The last couple months I've been the one she's chosen to bit*h to, and that's a good thing. That's what spouses are supposed to do.

Dash, I'll keep posting normal if it helps. I just don't want to get my expectations too high or jinx myself. This is as close to normal as I've felt in going on 2 years. At least I think I remember this as normal.
