A new thread, a new outlook.....

[Can it work]

Hey PM

Thanks once again for your kind response. Things are going ok over here I suppose. I know not to get my hopes up too much though. Just because I'm getting on with my W doesn't necessarily mean she's regaining any feelings for me. I just have to be patient and keep working away at it slowly. In the mean time I'm trying to enjoy my life as much as I possibly can.

I was thinking about the next step with my W and how to possibly do something with us all as a family. I have Wee Man this weekend and I normally put him to my W's on Sunday evening after dinner. What I was thinking about doing this Sunday was telling her that I felt like some take-away food and asking her if she wanted to join me. I know she's got nights out planned for both tomorrow and Saturday so she probably won't be feeling much like cooking. With this idea there would be no pressure on her to make it feel like we were actually venturing out together but on the other hand it would also give us a chance to chat a bit more. Still, she could always say no. I'll just have to wait and see.....

It's my last 12 hour shift today!!! Thank god for that. I don't know if I'll ever get used to getting up at 5.30 AM every morning. Tomorrow it'll be back to my normal hours and it'll feel like I'm getting a lie in. Can't wait.

My W's cousin phoned me last night to ask if he could go with me to the gym tonight. I told him that of course he could. It'll be nice to have company there. If I can manage to get him to go regularly, it'll be good motivation to keep us at each other to make sure we keep going. With one thing or another I haven't managed to get as often as I'd like lately. Still, I've just ordered a new mountain bike so I'm looking forward to that coming home so I can get out some more. Every little helps!
