Well, another day. W sent me an email today at work for a bbq festival on Saturday with a message: What do you think or something like that. I responded, sounds great, how about we take the kids after S's football practice. She said that sounded good to her.
At the time, I did not think much about it. But, later, it dawned on me that this was something to note and that this was not "normal" given our current sitch. Strange that I have become used to the way we are right now.
W had her cake decorating class tonight. She's really getting very good. She showed me the cake she did tonight, and it was impressive. She worked on the cake while I did some work (which I hate doing after hours). She was chatty and jovial. It just seems like she is very comfortable around me and that the friendship part of our R has returned.
As usual, I headed back for bed first. Not to prove a point or have an affect on her, but because I wanted to relax in bed, post here, and go to sleep. Maybe one day she'll get tired of sleeping in the guest room. Until then, I will just keep plodding.
I feel like I'm somewhere around mile 16 of a marathon. I've accomplished a lot, but there's still work left.
