Gotta Keep Trying 2

[givingitmyall]

Thanks Hope. I think last night was also a little of me needing to vent about everything, not necessarily anything related to the discussion. The discussion was just the even that triggered it.

All good today. W has sent me a couple of emails and IM's. Some related to our trip to Disney in a few weeks.

FYI re: the debts - are the accounts in your name only? If so, that might provide a very simple explanation for her choice of pronoun. No larger significance whatsoever.

Yes, accounts are in my name only. So, I think you are right. The fact she followed up with "WE" can pay this off , then "WE" can pay this off was presetn as well.

Think I blew this up in my mind. Glad I did not react.

lot of space up there huh?

[givingitmyall]

Lots more space than matter.

And the matter "ain't what it used to be."

Gima, my friend,
Just wanted to let you know first that I'm back. Haven't caught up on everything, nor could I possibly since I've been offline since about August 5th or so. Appears that you're progressing still slow n' steady, you old tortoise, you.

I'll be starting a new thread soon - maybe tonight - but I just wanna stop in on a few people first.

Talk to you soon.

HEY THERE!!!

I was beginning to think we would not hear from you again. Great to hear from you. Glad you're back.

First, how are you? Great, I hope.

I have made great progress for me. I think the R with my W is slowly moving in the right direction. We will see.

You know who is the master and is doing some great work? Dia. Check her thread out. She's really doing well.

I won't keep you. Great to hear from you. Don't be a stranger.

So another weird, but seemingly positive, sign from W tonight.

I (and S9) am a huge college football fan. I love watching all sports, but college football is my favorite. W has, shall I say, tolerated, watching games with me on tv, but mostly just our alma mater.

So, the last few weeks, she has watched quite a few games/parts of games with me. And she is actually watching and asking questions about the games. She has her laptop open (so do I) and is showing me pic's of different cakes she wants to try to make. I give her my attention when she does and make comments about the cakes.

Tonight, she is making comments about the game we were watching, and she sees some stats on a player with his vertical leap. W says that's a pretty good vertical leap. Yeah, that....WHAT?! WHO ARE YOU? I didn't think she even knew what a vertical leap was.

W has always known how much I enjoy college football season, but has really never shown any interest apart from watching our alma mater play, and even then, she really didn't pay attention to the games.

So, why the new found interest in college football? She's either found a new interest in it or wants to be involved with me in something she knows I like. Maybe her way of paying me back for me showing genuine interest in her cake decorating class and her great skill decorating and baking cakes (surpassed only by my great skill in eating them).

Heh! Cool!

Slow and steady, GIMA - and it's workin' fine.

And re: your post to Gardner? Pshaw!! <Dia blushes>

[Butterfly1]

Yeah, that's a good sign. When I wanted to grow closer to my H again, I took interest in the hobbies I never cared about before. It's a way of bonding. It's selfless.

And you're going to Disneyland? Dude, you are really making strides. Congrats. Hang in there.
