I feel like I'm always thanking you for your ongoing support. I can't begin to express how much it actually means to me. I knew when I came in to a lesser used forum that I'd get less traffic and probably less posts. You both have been consistent though and for that I'm going to be eternally grateful. Yes, I'm discovering new ways to be myself every day now but I'm also finding a lot of my strength from the support I get right here.
Well, I just came back from my W's house after dropping off Wee Man. Oh, we also enjoyed a takeaway together! Strike another goal on the scorboard there. I must try my hardest now not to let it get to my head though. I actually texted my W this afternoon to tell her I felt like being naughty and could really go a pizza and she was more than welcome to join me if she wanted. Unfortunately, after her night out last night, her health wasn't too great so she politely thanked me but refused. Then when I went to drop Wee Man off she told me she was feeling much better so I let her know that the offer of the takeaway still stood if she wanted. After all, I was going to be getting myself one anyway (that was actually a little white lie I'm afraid. I was actually going to come home and cook myself a couple of fresh salmon fillets if she'd refused!). Well, we had the food, chatted a bit and afterwards I politely took my leave so she could enjoy her time with Wee Man since she'd obviously missed him over the last couple of days. Now that brings me here to this computer to share the good news.
Got to keep myself grounded though. I'm not going to try anything else for a while now. The hope is that next time she offers me a takeaway. It might happen? Got to play it cool though. There was absolutely nothing else in her manner tonight which would suggest it was anything other than a convenient way for her to get dinner. That's the realism of it. It is a good sign on the way to being able to build a friendship though.
Keep smiling folks. I will.

Sometimes you have to become lost before you can find yourself.
