Things have changed quite drastically over this past weekend. On Friday I went out to a concert with BIL (an MD) who was in town. He did not know W's diagnosis, but asked if she had become manic after taking anti-depressants. He said that he noticed things this year that made him think that may have been the case. After the concert, BIL dropped me off at W's house. He was appreciative of this since it allowed him to have the king bed at my house.
On Saturday, I took some time to play soccer in the morning, but we spent the rest of the day together as a family. We went to the downtown mall, watched "Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs", spent time walking around, a little shopping, etc. W made some great Chicken Chilli at my place on Saturday night and spent the night there. Sunday, was much of the same. We spent much of the day at my place. Just hanging out and doing normal chores. She made a wonderful chicken dish last night and stayed at my place again last night.
I tried to stay away from R talks over the weekend, but it came up a couple of times:
M: "So how has the job search been going." W: "Its hard, people keep walking into my office when I am looking. I will probably just have to use your computer and apply to some of the online ones." M: "Anything look interesting?" W: "Well, the _____ has an opening for _____, but I can't apply for that for obvious reasons. You know I am thinking about just applying to Pier One. I saw they have openings for managers and I think I might like it."
My W is a Director at a fairly large Social Service agency and OM is COO at another. So it is difficult for her to find anything in her expertise without it requiring at least some contact with OM. I find her answer to this to be very reassuring.
While talking about wich MC we would like to use:
W: "So you know, I have got rid of OM from here and here." She pointed to her mind and heart respectively. M: "Does he know that?" W: "No." M: "I am assumming he has an idea." W: "Yes. I think so. I haven't been talking to him."
Before leaving this morning: M: "Have a good day. Are you going to be by tonight?" W: "I don't know." M: "OK" - I nod and start to walk to the door. W: "I love you." M: "I love you too."
This is all happening so fast that sometimes I wonder if it is real. But things have been great. W mentioned to me that things "Feel like old times". I am just enjoying where we are at right now.
