XYZ. Nice to see that. Those little things you never really thought about are huge. I don't know if I will ever look at them the same.

The race car sounds like a blast. I've only gotten up to 100 MPH in a Chrysler Cordoba, I had in college. My Sunday started with a 20 mile run in wind and rain. Why do I do it?

Keep up the good work. My man (I'm sure it's not the same coming from me)

My kids were a pain this morning too. Something in the air?

This place was pretty quite over the weekend. I take it that's a good thing?

After a good solid 10 days, I had a minor slip-up on Friday night. Did not go well overall. Probably, set us back a little, but this is a process right??? Rest of the weekend was okay. Saturday was a little rocky. Sunday was better.

But I learned a big lesson here. I cannot text or say to my wife ILY. It's not that she doesn't want to hear it, but I can't do it without expecting the return ILY and when I don't get it, I get angry. The only solution is not to say it. Just like all the other stuff.

Of course my mood was boosted last night when I had NO expectations. My W went to bed and I was feeling a little down.
We had a short text exchange and I wished her G'night, as I usually do.

I get this back.
"G'nite back. I do love you ya big oaf. wink just let me get there again where I can show it okay?"

I texted her this morning
"Forgot to say Thx for this. & okay, I plan to. :-)

She responds a few min ago.

"You bet. Im really proud of how you have worked your way back to you again. I appreciate the time you gave me to come back to this on my own."

It was nice to hear it since my W isn't free with the ILYs. Nice to see that she feels she is progressing and I am progressing.

Slow and steady will make this race go much better.
