I had an appointment with my IC on Friday. She said that I was doing great, and had improved since I started seeing her about 5 months ago. We were meeting every two weeks; she suggested one more meeting in four weeks to see if things continue to go well for me. Of course, I can always call her if something comes up.

Was going to go out with friends Friday night, but was tired from the long week, so I stayed at home and played with my dogs. My wife went out with a friend and her daughter for the daughter's birthday. Yesterday some friends and I got together and played games.

Things seem to be improving between us, little by little. She has been cooking more and sharing with me; I have been doing the same. We've had some good conversation and I made her really laugh for the first time in months.

The big outstanding issues:

1) Very little physical affection.
2) Still sleeping in separate rooms.
3) No real discussion of the future.

She is taking an unintended vacation from World of Warcraft right now: her account was broken into! Someone looted all of her characters, actually stole two of them, and tried to take a third. Blizzard (the company behind WoW) is working to get them back, but she's not even able to log in to see all of the damage yet.

How did I handle this? I told her that I hope everything works out for the best. I told her to keep an eye on the computer: if stuff seems to have moved or changed or if she gets notices from other websites of suspicious activity, I can wipe everything off and reinstall from scratch.
