I've been to two dance classes and one dance venue without my W this week. She was available to practice with me on Sunday, but hasn't been available since. She has attended two smoking cessation classes and is preparing to quit smoking. She also is adjusting to her new PT job (she described working again as empowering).
My car is making grinding noises when I try to start it. The mechanic seems to think it needs a new starter. I told my W that I need some financial help with this. I'm used to finding a way to pay for it on my own. I'm going to take responsibility to pay down my credit card debt, and use the cards sparingly. I think we need to meet with our financial planner sometime next year for a reality check, and to change some habits. WE may need to change the alocation of who pays towards what bills.
My W was invited for a weekend getaway with a friend of hers. They are going to spend two nights in a lodge in the middle of a state park about two hours from our home. Hopefully, something positive comes from this experience for her.
I'm loosening my grip on dancing expectations, and have no problem going to classes and venues by myself. The instructor lowered our dances for the competiion to two. Two to three practice sessions per week for the next two months seems attainable to me. I will take respnsibilty to remind her and plan for this, until she tell me otherwise. I like the idea of having a deadlline and event to work towards, otherwise our dance connection drifts too far apart, and I don't feel like we're moving forward.
