Hey na-
Your "day date" sounds so nice.

So, the holidays are here...this seems like a great opportunity for you and your H to snuggle in bed...which if you plan it right, could lead to more. Use your imagination...If I were you, I sure would be. I especially miss my H on cold nights.

As far as the check ups go, I know you want your H to be healthy BUT he doesn't want you to be his mom. Can you bring up in C that you want him to take care of himself and list the reasons why without nagging? I am sure the C would back you up.

As always, I like your positives. You are making steps forward and I wouldn't even call them baby steps anymore. I am happy for you and think things will just continue to get better and better...but still be prepared for those little bumps!!!

I wish you and your family a wonderful Thankgiving together.
