Trying to move forward

[Dewayne]

Kiddo drop off went fine. Without a hitch. She came in and stayed for about 45 minutes!

We chatted, joked a little, she told me about work etc. No "flips" but she did kinda get snippy once, but she apologized.

We were talking about Jojo and me not getting to see her much. SHe popped up and said "That aint my fault!" Then I sighed. She paused and apologized for that and said "well, I'm sorry, that was harsh. It's not my fault you can't find work yet... "

We talked about the medicine, seh swears she's weaning off.

We talked for a little bit about side effects and behavioral issues from the medicine and she said "AFter seeing the sites and listening, I believe it. But I can't help but how I feel"

She talked about how her and "jerry" are just friends, but "good" friends. Somehow, we got onto "dating" She said "Well that's what we'll do then. And TAKE IT SLOW!" It came back up later, and she said "I meant IF we start over... "

I know it's soon to talk about that but it came up. To be honest I can't even remember who brought it up, I think she did. The first time she said it.. it sounded VERY positive, I mean I was like.. "wth did she just say?" lol.

I kept cool, calm and to the point, but it didn't last long. We ended up playing Angry birds on the PS3 and laughing about it. I think that's the first time we laughed together in a while... good while.

So points are:

She verbally confirmed she's weaning off the meds.
She stayed 45 minutes.
She didn't "flip" on me.
Talked positively about starting over (as a possibility)
I didn't bring up Marriage talk or anything.
Seemed to have fun while she was here.
Actually showed a bit of emotion.
