Maybe I should be in piecing part 5?

hope,

Glad all went well last night.. I just wish she could freakin muster out.. I wanted to go with you... or something of that nature.

All in all you sound upbeat..

Thanks TAL. It really didn't bother me too much. Most times I take her not responding like that as good. It's like I KNOW she had a good time so I didn't need a response. And her not responding and also the looking down at the floor were GOOD things as it shows me she's really conflicted and is really thinking.

Today has been GREAT. We went shopping for Christmas decorations, bought some stationary to print the invites to our open house, stopped at another little shop, had a cup of coffee and bought some more Christmas decorations. Came home and put some of them up, W made the invites and printed them out and we've been watching football since. W just took S16 to the H.S. for a concert.

And she's been more like herself than I've seen since we were on vacation. I'm really wondering if my theory of her work location triggering her repeatedly is true. She's not been in her regular office for going on two weeks and she's just a different person.

She's still quite foggy, she's talking about refinancing our home mortgage, talked about getting some fall decorations for the house at this little shop near us, all ignoring the fact that she KNOWS I'm going to be transferred. She also talks about this temporary assignment becoming permanent and how nice that would be. So is her mind just not letting her face the reality that we'll be moving in late May at the latest?

Not going to worry about that. Just enjoying having a normal W around the house.

Tomorrow W is going shopping for a dress for her Christmas party and I'm going to get a new pair of pants, shirt and tie and do some grocery shopping. Then I'll see if S16 wants to go out and watch some NFL football for a while.

I'll check in tomorrow.
