Hi Puppy! Hope you are well. Things continue to progress well. Somehow he's managed to get us into remodeling projects right before the holidays again. Two bathroom remodels! Long story...Of course he gets stressed out and starts judging what I am or am not doing. I said to him - Do you ever look in the mirror? I'm sick and tired of being judged by you. Ever since then he's been just as nice as can be.
Last Friday night he asked if I would skip my workout and go out to dinner. Then he took me by his shop to have me pick out some materials for the bathroom and to show me what they're working on (one last project - work as all but dryed up and he's had to layoff half his crew). We had a nice time together. Still not hearing "I love you" but our S life is definitely very active.
My sister-in-law asked me to help out with my mother-in-law on Saturdays (getting her showered and cleaned up) because she works in a jewelry store and is working a lot of holiday hours. I'm happy to help. My mother-in-law and I have always had a great relationship - closer to her than my own mother! It's sad how far she's digressed. You just have to laugh at the funny moments though - you never know what "treasures" you'll find hidden in her bra! Of course my H has been very appreciative.
Friday night he's going with me to a Happy Hour reunion with some folks I went to grade school with and then we have a dinner with one of his key clients.
I think we're making progress. Hope to some day feel that "I'm in love with you" connection again! One day at a time...
