We've been working away. Lots of opportunities for old issues to come up. It seems that we're both being more detached as we deal with frustrations and triggers.
One of my goals is to remember to smile more in the midst of working.
It only just now registered in my brain that I got a bit of a hug. P was feeling a little sorry for me after a friend came over and they ganged up on me about figuring out some of the project details. After the friend left, P came over and gave me a hug and said, "It is hard to figure all this stuff out."
I'm noting this, because there hasn't been much in the way of affection. As I'm thinking about it, it seemed that she intentionally let her knee touch mine during another discussion today. Hmmm.
In figuring out the project details, I mentioned that we each have our frustrations with the way the other approaches things. I think I've been doing a good job of listening to P and her ideas (as well as her frustrations) and being clear about what my priorities and limits are.
The work is tiring, so bedtime is coming earlier these days...
