Not much going on. Went spinning this AM. Hope to find time to lift later today. This evening going on planning meeting for wknd camping trip with D5 and D9.

W called me last night asking me to come over and check out the Halloween decorations she got with the girls over the weekend. I go over, and she'd just made dinner so we all sit down and eat together. After dinner, I do an arts and craft project of a haunted house with D2. W seems to love it and gets camera and takes picture. I think it's the first picture she's taken with me in it in quite awhile. D2 and I had alot of fun doing it.

At some point I tell W she looks super cute in her sweater dress. She says thanks, but she feels gross and bloated and fat. I also tell her later she did an awesome job picking out Halloween decs and the place looks great, that she's always been awesome making things festive and fun. I used to not give enough words of affimation and appreciation so something I've been working on.

W shares more stuff with me about work and the psychic. I listen and share back. She also told me she told her BFF at work that she had told me about the psychic. Her BFF said NO WAY! And I asked why she said that she thought? And she said because BFF would never tell her husband because she'd be afraid of how he'd react or what he would think. W said she told BFF that I was real interested in it and asking questions. I guess this is good because W in some way was comparing me to her BFF's husband (still seeing me as husband in some way) and because W realized I was interested and she could share with me.

W tells me her other friend wondered if I had talked to friend's H about friend and H's marital issues. I told her I had hung out with friend over wknd. W told me she told her friend that I would tell things to H as it was and not pussyfoot around with him -- set him straight, and gave friend the example of another H I recently did same with. W also told her friend that even if friend's H told me something that I would not tell anyone else about it, because that's not how I was. So, I guess W still sees some integrity in me.
