Well, kinda excited. I am taking D17 into boston for the day. It's gonna be kinda cold, 30's, but I want to do something with her, get her out of the house. she seems really down, does go to her Mom's, but I don't know. She misses her, as do I , and I think it's finally starting to hit her pretty solid.

She's going to the movies with friends tonight andI am out playing cards at a friends.

Sunday my sone is coming over to watch the game and I ahve two projects I am going to work on during the day. Hopefully no snow.

Yes, I thought yesterdays performance was real good. No phone call from her girlfriend about it, so no biggie. Oh yeah, she calls her girlfriend to tell her about anything with me, and usually she calls to tell me one way or the other. I do prefer the not hearing about it. Yes I was very take charge, you need to do this and you need to do that. Helped her with carrying the box because it was the right thing to do. She didn't bring up any other topics for discussion, so I didn't venture. I let her control the conversation, not me. I think she was a little surprised I didn't ask about her hand or anything else. she did seemed poised at the end of our conversation and after she took care of her customer to talk. I could see it, wanted to do it, but I decided that it would be best to cut out. I didn't want to look like I was hanging or looking like i wanted to be around her. I figured the best action was to be the same way I was at thanksgiving, short, direct, polite and gone.

Weekend is looking good, my son-in-law just got a great job after being laid off 3 weeks ago, my D21 just got a loan from her grandfather to get her over the hump and take care of a loan she got through me, my son has a second interview for a job after being let go 2 weeks ago, and me and D17 are gonna have some fun tomorrow. She isn't feeling well so I am not sure how long she will hold out.

I have a dance I am looking forward to next Friday night, a christmas Party that Saturday (I was invited to stay overnight, but D17 would be alone for 2 nights, so I'll most likely go home after) and christmas shopping that Sunday. I am busy, feel good about yesterday, feel good about a lot of things. I was posting over at another forum, helping out and getting feedback. I do really feel better. Want her back, but i do know that if she doesn't lose OM, face her demons, do some soul searching, then there is absolutely no chance. I didn't really get a reading on her yesterday other than this look of "That's it?" I cannot even consider any connection with her until OM is gone. regardless of any effort she makes.

What's up for your weekend? (sorry to ramble. I take my opportunites to "talk" to you very seriously and jump on every opportunity)
