Tomorrow is a New Day

[hopefulinga]

I honestly don't know what turned it around. It may be the new group of people were upbeat. I only know one of the people that he went with. It may also be the time alone to think without any distractions. And some time away from work.

He did take me for a ride yesterday evening for about 30 minutes or so up the highway and back. I tried not to be nervous, as I've never been over about 25 mph on a motorcycle before. We rode up to an exit with someone else, and when we got to the top of the exit, he told the friend he would call him and we would all go for a ride sometime soon.

When we got back, I told him how much fun I had and how much I appreciated his taking me out, which is the truth. I talked to him for a few minutes until he got into reading the owners manual and playing with the accessories. I left D16 at home and she also started calling to see where I was. At that point, I left.

He came home on time for dinner and we talked about the ride a little bit more and I asked him about the people he was with. He also told me he paid for the hotel but his friend gave him cash for his portion. I appreciated that because I am the one that tracks the money and he knows I can't stand people mooching.

He told me how much he liked dinner and we talked a little bit after dinner about the motorcycle.

Still no questions back about what we did, etc. So what I did was ask D16 to tell her dad about the dinner.

I will cross my fingers that we can continue this track through the week.
