When I came home from work yesterday, I found my W asleep. I knew she had a smoking cessation class, but didn't know if she planned on attending or not. I chose not to ask her about it early in the day, not wanting to sound like a parent. I didn't know if I should wake her or not. I didn't hear an alarm go off, so chose to let her sleep. I took the dog for a walk.

When I returned, she was up and upset that I hadn't wakened her. I was disappointed that she had missed the class. I had plans (I sent her an email) to attend a dance class. She said it was too late to get ready for the class. I debated whether I should go or not.

I decided to go. I felt some guilt leaving her home, and didn't enjoy the class as much as I usually do. If I had stayed, it would have been unpleasant for both of us. When I returned, she was in a better mood. I decided that it was her responsibility to prepare herself and make arrangements for the smoking cessation class. It was unfortunate that her alarm didn't go off. She could have left me a note, or a phone call. There's one class left. I'm still proud of her for attending the classes she did.
