Life is still very tough to deal with at the moment, but there are some little things to be thankful for. For instance, I have been getting D8 overnight 2 on and 2 off. We will be going back to the mediator Thursday to hopefully put in place a longer term schedule, and gradually start including my youngest in the rotation. That's a complete 180 from 10 days ago. Also, exchanges have been fairly pleasant.
I mentioned something to W yesterday I've been working on in IC, and she said she was interested in hearing more about it another time.
I gave her the card and mentioned that it was just something I hoped would bring a laugh. I wrote "when I first met you I was scared to talk to you, so I tried to imagine you in your underwear. Which was really hard because I was already imagining you naked!" then I made a statement similar to what Starsky suggested about the memories.
She took it with her and texted later that it did make her laugh and she appreciated it, and thought about me today.
