Hi JB, detaching is so hard for me right now, but I am working on it. I took some of 25s 'free legal' advice and that definitely helped with it, I have to say.
That is great advice on the coaching session, I'll definitely do that next time. It was very helpful talking to my coach. After I thought, ya know, that really isn't anything I didn't already know, but she was able to help me focus and create a plan. I've got to come up with a way to pay for more sessions.
I did take D to the pumpkin patch! We have already carved it up- she picked out a witch- and have two more to go! This time of year is so much fun.
Today, although I'm not letting myself get too excited about it, was a good day with H. I did some GALing at D's school and H was supposed to pick her up and spend some time. I called to make sure he was on time (he is chronically late) and he ended up asking me to lunch! We had a nice time.
After he said his good byes to D, he would normally come around the car and say bye to me- not today. I was disappointed but put my game face on. After I took off he called me and apologized for 'the way he left'. I did my DB best (very proud of myself here and a definite 180) and told him no big deal, changed the subject and got off the phone first.
Yea me! I am really avoiding R talk at the advice of my coach, and that seemed to be where he was headed saying something about that 'it still killed him'. I also didn't react to something that popped up at lunch that was a reminder of a possible D, too. Being able to leave all of that alone is an accomplishment for me.
Overall, it was nice. We had a fun, upbeat time and I did my best with the DBing. Still praying for a miracle!
This time of year is so much fun.
