Matilda and Doc, I picked up some daffodils for her today at the grocery store, in anticipation of Valentine's Day. I placed then in a vase in her bathroom. I will stop and pick up a card for her this week. I may get back into the habit of having a fresh vase of flowers for her on a regular basis.
She and I went to a private lesson yesterday and worked on a Salsa combination that I know she will like. I disovered the move in a recent class I ventured to. She's been wanting to do a combination like this for some time, but I've lacked the skill and confidence level, until now. It involves her spinning out and then back into my arms with impact, and then slowly moving thru a low sweeping dip. We now have something to practice together. I know she'll like performing this in public.
She and her friend went out to dinner last night. I met her later for dancing downtown. He drove her back home, as she stayed later than I did. He did not enter the house. She hasn't argued with me about the request I made for his behavior in our household. Her concerns were that she would lose a helper for housekeeping, and a chauffeur for driving her to dance venues. I think they'll maintain some connection.
She has requested to sleep alone, stating that she sleeps better without me in there. I respected her request and have returned to the guest room.
