Jo, Matilda, Doc, and DB Friends, My W's work is ending next week, so her anxiety may increase. I haven't brought-up any money discussions at this time. My W will move the cooking job to Monday, to free up her weekends for recreation and self-care. We watch the clock at the fitness club on Sunday, and now will be able to take our time.
She is wanting a week in Puerto Rico this summer. I hope she's planning on paying for it, because I don't have a vacation fund. I'm letting her percolate her ideas, and am not being an obstructionist. She is planning from a budget mindset (rooms with window AC versus hotels). The idea is to get there and put resources towards the beach, food and dancing.
She called me last week and told me there was an opening on the Cha Cha performance team, and that she signed us up. I knew she wanting to be on this team, so didn't make a fuss about not being consulted. We're on three performance teams (Hustle, Tango, Cha Cha). The Cha Cha song is Chain of Fools by Aretha Franklin. She said that the teacher told her that I have grown a great deal in the six months I've been at the studio.
She and I have been going to a yoga and Pilates class weekly at our newly joined fitness club. After class, we head to the pool. This is new behavior for both of us--taking two exercise classes per week, and exercising together on a regular basis.
