We ended up deferring the movie, because she started work at 7 this morning, and doesn't like driving at night even when she's not tired. But she suggested we try again next Friday, a bit earlier. I was almost glad, because my back was hurting even more than I expected. It was very emotionally draining, too, as you can imagine!
But, we did go to Petsmart, and spent some time here while she did laundry. Quality time, LOL.
We survived the awkward silences in the car. Amazing how hard it is to make small talk with someone who's heard all your stories. :-/ Chatted a little about safe topics like shows we like in common. The most difficult moments were a couple times when my rusty driving skills caused her to panic a bit. Eek!
I did very well with PMA, keeping my cool (even with the traffic, which was awful!). So, in the end, I did my very best, and that's ok by me.
