So I ended up not making the bike ride or the drag races today. lol
W gave me a gift. (in her words, only because she only bought it before I was an ass the night I said she couldn't have a nice car!) It wasn't pretty at the time. She was still really still P-O'ed!
Just as I was preparing to leave for the bike ride, (by myself) my TKD/soon to be Masters Community Counselor buddy called and asked if he could take me out for B-day lunch. We had a good time and of course I got to bounce my recent sitch developments off him.
The drag races were then canceled on account of rain.
W later suggested her and I go out for dinner, and I accepted. We had a good time, and got along well. Near the end of the meal, she brought up the car issue and we discussed it rationally. Things got a little tense, but we both kept it in check.
We didn't finalize the new car plan, but are on track to work it out together.
Gosh I love my girl.
M: A really long time. Crisis: 5 years. She's still worth it.
