Well, another evening of the same old same old. Could be a LOT worse.
W and I talked tonight about a friend of her's who's 2nd H is having issues with his 1st W, who does sound like a pretty selfish person. Funny thing is, unlike in the past, I diidn't have any nervousness when W and I spoke about someone else's D issues. It just doesn't bother me anymore.
W worked on a cake for her 2nd cake client tonight while I watched football. We talked all the while, with me asking questions about her cake, frosting, etc. She put some of the icing she made on a fork and handed the fork to me. When I took it, our hands touched briefly. Nice. Fleeting, but nice.
W was happy and upbeat (just like me) tonight. We are able to have really nice discussions about just about anything. Well, R hasn't come up, but everything else is good.
I still feel like I'm making progress, or should I say WE seem to be making progress. I don't know how to describe it, but each night we seem to be inching a little closer to one another - it just shows in the way she talks to me.
Another interesting thing is she is quick to explain things I believe she perceives I could take the wrong way. For example, today, she had sent me several messages via IM and email from her PDA. They were hung up on the ISP's provider, so I never got them. When she realized they had not gone through, she was quick to send me an email through her PC letting me know about the problem. Then, when I got home tonight, she wanted to show me her PDA to prove the messages did not go through. I never once complained about not getting any messages, and I have been upbeat and happy.
I just notice things like this now, and they seem to be happening more often.
