Hi Pam - I did have a brief let down after I put up my Christmas tree and stood back and looked at it for a few but I feel better now. I have been vaccuum sealing leftovers and putting them in the freezer. (so of them did to down the disposal though) then I fixed me a margarietta (first one I fixed for myself in over a year) However, I will likely not finish it all.
odga, Look at the positives; I think things are going very well for you! And like someone else said, that maybe things will be even better for Christmas. I'd say by next year if things keep going the way they have you won't be alone TG and Christams next yr!
Well I had a nother plesant supprise - Cindy called again tonight about 8:30 and we talked for about 30 minutes - she had gone Christmas shopping and then went by her parents graves to take some flowers. I had offered to take her down last weekend and she wanted to go but something came up and we did not have time. Last Thursday morning I found myself comming back from a Courthouse near there and I stopped by myself and told her I went later and that the flowers that were there were kinda bad. She said she cleaned up some and left some new flowers.
In talking with her it came up that I bought a new Christmas tree and Decorations and all and she got kinda quite and asked why I did not use our old ones - I told her that I left them so she could use them. She still seemed to be reserve and said she may not do anything but a small table top tree this year. I told her she needed to get a big tree like she usually does and all. I said I did want to use some of my special ornaments but she could use any of the other lights, garlin, and ornaments herself.
Well for her suggesting that we not do anything together this weekend and then to call me twice and talk for over 30 minutes each time is encouraging. However, I still sense some hesitation from coming off the fence. It will happen though - Just need to keep on DBing.
Of course I will need to keep on DBing after she comes down from the fence too, even more than ever.
Sounds to me like Cindy is going to come off that fence pretty fast! You're right DB your butt off! That's what I was told that I have to do! So let's roll up our sleeves and get to work! LOL
Morning coffee and time to review weekend positives.
1. After a great dinner out on Thursday at her suggestion she felt she needed space this weekend so nothing planned (This is a positive in that she does need time to go over in her mind our past events.) 2. not much contact Friday cept IM but it was very plesent. 3. no contact during the day Saturday but it was a beautiful day so I went to the zoo by myself and had a great time. the animals were very active and I got some great photos. Also good chance to practice using my digital 4. Saturday night she gave me a call just to chat - talked for about 40 minutes. 5. Sunday I took mom out to Brunch and helped her with a few things around her house. had a good time 6. On the way home from Mom's I got new Christmas tree and trimmings and set it up when I got home, Innitially felt blue after setting up tree but now feel fine 7. she gave me another call around 8:30 and we chatted again for about 30 minutes - firmed up plans for dinner Thesday at Longhorns
I already asked if I could call occasionally some mornings during coffee and just chat (we use to do that every morning before marriage) and she said she would like that. Since she called each day over weekend, maybe I should give her a call this morning and chat over coffee. Her alarm usually goes off about now so I will give her about 30 minutes to get up then call.
1. Since she had made a lot of initial contacts of late, I called her yesterday morning during my 2nd cup of coffee and we had a nice talk, she seemed to like me calling.
2. she did the initial IM yesterday morning.
3. she also did another initial im yesterday afternoon
4. This is a good one and will take a little more to explain. - I had a really busy day at work yesterday and after dealing with a couple of “not the best clients” I sent her an IM with a icon of a male hug followed by “I could really use a hug”. She responded with “come on over” then another response of a female hug, then another response “are you ok?” unfortunately I had looked away from the screen and when I looked back the last two responses had rolled the first one out of sight and I did not see that till I scrolled through it later. I told her about my clients and that while I liked virtual hugs, the real ones were much better but I thanked her for the virtual one. After a few minutes I received an email from her. When I opened it, it had an Icon of one Smily face hitting another smily face with a club and she asked if this is how I felt. That was followed by a smily face with the biggest smile I had ever seen. The whole thing was very cute and I loved it - I sent her an IM saying I got the email and yes that was how I felt but that now I had a big smile on my face like the one in the email. We chit chatted some more and I told her how much the email met to me and it was a keeper.
5. she called again last night around 10:30 - I had laid down early and went to sleep while watching TV. She called during one of my favorite shows (CSI, Miami) to ask a question about the show and was surprised that I did not have it on. I think she was more surprised that I did not turn it on while I was talking to her. I told her that talking to her was more interesting than any TV show.
6. finalized plans for Dinner tonight
7. I have a Dr. appt today to recheck my Testosterone level - do not know if he will keep me on my Kinky goo (Andro Gel - Testosterone supplement gel) or not - I can say that the stuff really works. ( and thus this listing as a positive)
Looking forward to a great day and an even better night.
Sounds like things are going great for you. I hope that your doctor's appointment and your dinner with W went well. I'm jealous that you and W talk so much. My H is not a talker, but I keep hoping that he will open up.
Hope your evening was a success. Have a nice TG and take care.
