Stage 2.25

[istherehope]

Hi Opt,

Looking forward to hearing more about it on your post and just generally seeing some updates from you :).

My day has been very slow. I didn't get much done at work. Ugh. I am still in that weird stage where I over-obsess about everything H says/doesn't say to me. I spent hours writing some joking email about how I don't actually need to stay at my friend's house while I feed the cat but am open to doing so. I think I pulled it off, but am not sending it until tomorrow to give myself 24 hours.

Just now we are IMing. He is at work and I am home, and he said "we" should buy a gift for his cousin and new baby in Mexico. I am picking out the gift and have been sending him links. This is pretty nice and I feel like I am very slowly being granted access to his family again. Family means everything to him and if he is not keeping me away from them, this is a good sign...this last week he IMd with a cousin about me in front of me, forwarded me an email from his mom, and now this. These are little things for sure, but to me it shows he is being more open...

Tonight I'm making his favorite dinner by his request, and just to clarify, I like cooking so this is a win/win setup.

Alright I'm going to try and work out for 30 minutes before cooking and before H gets here. I've been slacking in the exercise department recently...
