Tipper, Upside, e- Thanks for checking in. I know I've only been posting sporadically, so it is probably hard to keep up with me (and stay interested??)

Anyway, things seems to be going pretty well. We went to C last week, then took a day off on Friday for a "date." We went to a late breakfast, a movie, then browsed in a bookstore and had a coffee. We need to do that more often!

We have not been very physical, which is bothering me a bit. He has not initiated and neither have I. I know this is a BIG ISSUE that we need to work on.

Also, he is overdue for checkups with his doctor and dentist. I hate to nag him about it and I do mention it occassionally, but I really wish he'd get on it and go. He is over 50 now and needs to take better care of himself!

Positives:
1. Good date day.
2. He's agreed to go to more regular counseling (every other week).
3. It's easier to talk to him about the mundane chores and errands that need to get done. I used to feel like I was heaping the responsibility on him when I would bring these kinds of things up.
4. He came to bed at the same time as me last night, instead of falling asleep on the couch which he does too often.
5. We discussed planning a family vacation for next year.
