I'm bad for knee jerk reactions sometimes. The time quoted above by dbmod was prior to my beginning the DB techniques in earnest.
Thanksgiving was good I guess. Had to get up and leave the table once because I got emotional. I did give in and text her on Thanksgiving even though I knew the OM was at her house. She responded nicely and we texted a small bit through the afternoon. I learned how to sight in a rifle which is a totally new thing for me so I let her know about that and told her to have a safe trip going to her dog show (with OM) this weekend. Anyway, I spent the rest of the holiday painting a room (finally finished last night) and watching football. She was at the dog show with OM. I finally broke down last night and had kind of a pity party with myself. I just got angry at her because she's off having so much fun and I'm stuck at home, etc etc. I'd never let her know that though.
Anyway, she said something about coming by this afternoon (back last Tuesday) so we'll see I guess. I'll just wait to see if I hear from her.
Hope everyone had a nice thanksgiving. I'm going to schedule another call with the DB coach this week to assess how things have been going.
