First Piecing Thread

Been a couple of days so I thought I would post an update.

Things have been very good. Since S17 and I got home Sunday afternoon, W has been more engaged and interested in ME than she has been in a year and a half.

Doing thoughtful things, talking to me like she's truly interested in me. And it feels pretty darn good.

Example. W and I are using a tanning salon prior to our trip to Fla in 3.5 weeks. The place we tan is first come, first served, but if one of us shows up and knows the other is on their way, they'll let us sign in for both of us so we're in line. Last night I was about heading out of work and W IM'd me that she'd be at the tanning place a little late because S17 wanted something to eat and she was going to get the food, go home and then to the tanning place. I have to drop my work truck off at home before I can go tan so I told her I'd just pick the food up on my way home and then go tan.

I was on my way to the tanning place and W TM'd me and asked if I wanted her to put my name on the list. Now that might not seem like much, but last week when I offered to do that for her she had replied with a snotty TM "I can take care of it". She then ended up waiting in line for over an hour. So for her to show up there and do something nice for me is a good example of how she's not so wrapped up in herself these last few days.

Another example. We got a new puppy Monday. Monday night the pup was up at 4:30 in the morning. I got up with her, fed her and took her outside. Once that was done it was too late to go back to sleep so I just stayed up. So last night when I got home from a haircut and dinner out by myself, I said to W "man, I'm tired". She said "why don't you go to bed, I'll take care of the puppy and get S17's lunch for school tomorrow taken care of". WTF? Actually cared enough about me being tired?

So of course, the puppy was up at 3 am today. Going to be another tired evening, but it's ok. As engaging as she's been the last few days, I'll take it.

Good call on not mentioning the glass. I'm letting it go for now. If we keep progressing there'll be a time for that, but for now, I'm going to let it slide.

Talk to ya soon.
