My W bought me a generous dinner at a local fine dining establishment, for my birthday. I tried to give her another option, but she took it as that I didn't want to spend my birthday with her so I went.
She's enjoying herself more at our weekly dance venue, and has been more successful in connecting with men to dance.
She's been watching food and cooking channels and has been hinting about taking cooking classes. We visited an international market in town. She had a great time exploring all the different ethnic foods. I'll keep an eye out for inexpensive cooking classes to get us going.
The latest conflict has to do with the pets (2 cats and dog). My W sometimes has a low tolerance for the dog (barking, jumping on the bed when she's trying to sleep, barking outside when he wants us to play with him or to come inside). We keep his bed in the bedroom. He chews his bone on the bed, and leaves bone fragments on the bed which infuriates her. I'll plan on washing the sheets weekly, vacuuming the bed regularly, and keeping the pets out of the bedroom in the morning and keeping the door locked so she can have some peace.
I've resumed church attendance again at a local church five minutes from our home. We never seem to make it to Sunday yoga class, so I've decided to go to church. I haven't gone in over a year. I'm looking for an hour of contemplation and spiritual sustenance.
