How much longer in Separated?

Talked with W a few times Thanksgiving day, then headed her way Friday afternoon. Hit a cool Janis Joplin museum while waiting for W to be free. Man, Port Arthur, Texas didn't know what to do with that girl.

Did some shopping with W when we met up, she had already been out all day and we had a good time. We had a nice dinner at a new sushi/hibachi place she'd been wanting to try. Then we got hot chocolate and thought about a movie. We ended up going with a redbox, and I was thinking we could watch it in the car but she said:

"there's a little motel I saw and thought of you". We checked it out, and it was perfect. $36.40, cash only. I LOLed on the 40 cents. She stayed and we watched Shutter Island and then she had to go. No ML or anything, but it was very nice. Instead of driving back through the night I enjoyed having a place to stay.

W texted me on Tuesday "are you off work yet" right as I was getting off. I called, and she started crying and said she was sad. She'd had a headache since I left and throwing up.

We talked about the movie and some other things as I drove home. I had some guys coming for dinner but told her I would call her after. She thanked me for distracting her for a little while.

Then a text: "Thank you for talking with me yesterday. I was already sleeping when you called at 11", and later "do you have time to call me on your lunchbreak?"

She's making excuses for contact with some internet questions. I jokingly asked if I came and stayed at the motel again, would she visit. She said yes. Definitely some positives.

We also had some great talks while I was there, just very comfortable talking about family and a whole bunch of other things. I'm amazed how natural it is when we finally get to spend time together. I think it's time to make it more often, and I'm taking a chance today and sending her get well soon flowers. Should be fun to watch the results.
