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

[Can it work]

Good Morning PM and MsM

I'm glad you both approve of my plan for Sunday. I know I'm going to have to make the first move here somehow. If I left to my W and her stubborn streak, I think we'd probably stay in the current setup for a long time to come. Yes she may say no. That doesn't have to mean that she won't say yes another time. I'm not going to get hung up on her response this time. Hopefully she will say yes but even if she does that doesn't mean I'm going to be getting my hopes up too much. If at first you don't succeed.......

PM, I'm still taking the skin medication. Whether I've just cheered up on my own or my body is used to the medication, I'm not sure. Either way, I don't want to go back to the feelings I had near the start of taking it. There were some pretty low moments back then. And as MsM says, positive attracts positive.

I have to pick Wee Man up from my W tonight which I'm looking forward to. I have him tonight and tomorrow night which is excellent. My W has nights out planned on both nights but I'm even worrying less about that these days. What will be, will be. I got the impression from her when we talked on Tuesday that she's still not comfortable going out very much. She told me that she'd only been to the local night club twice since we split up. All I did was listen, say "Oh right." cheerfully and moved swiftly on. The fact is, I've been out way more than her. Not sure what kind of message that will be giving her but what I'm doing doesn't seem to be damaging our R in any way that I can see. She always did get on at me about not going out enough when we were together. At the time I thought it was so she would feel less guilty about going out fairly often. Now I'm not so sure. Maybe she just wanted someone who went out to enjoy life. Maybe I'll never know for sure.

It felt good not to have to come in early this morning for a 12 hour shift. I'll be able to catch up on some of my own work now too. The shifts I was doing over the last 3 days never really left much time to do my own work. So, it may turn out to be a fairly busy day.

I've not seen my IL's for a wee while and am honestly starting to miss them a bit. I'm thinking of asking my FIL past tomorrow to give me a hand putting up a swing in the back garden for Wee Man. I cut my grass for the first time this year on Wednesday night so it's looking nice and tidy again. Wee Man is at the stage now where he's really enjoying playing outside. I've been meaning to put the swing up for a while. I think this may be a good opportunity to spend some time with the IL's and achieve something at the same time.

Well, I guess I'd better go and catch up on some of this work that I've been talking about. Keep smiling everyone.
