It's good that you are getting out and having some fun time on your own. It helps to rebuild your PMA and keep you going when things are a bit tough in your home environment. It's a good way to relieve the stress and tension.
Yeah, we had a small group out watching the UFC fights. Seen Silva snap his leg when kicking Weidman. Good times. lol

Well, that was a surprise! Inviting you to a birthday party next weekend. I would go. No, my man, you aren't cooties. You've come a long way since that time. Go and have some fun! This may be the beginning of her heart melting and I don't want to see you lose out on that beginning.
I did tell W later in the day that I was looking forward to going. It will be a large party, maybe 30-40 people. I was actually at this couples house for a party several years ago, (pre-crises) so kinda know them.

My next ed2go class starts early in Jan. "Assisting aging parents"
It's a six week course. Some of the topics include:
Communication techniques Helping your parent(s) maintain their zest for life Dealing with material possessions Setting up medical and funeral wishes Estate details Emotions: what to expect and how to deal with them Home care options and decisions Death
My parents and W's Dad are still caring for themselves in their own homes, but are in their mid to upper 70's and won't be able to do it forever. Better to prepare and have things in place ahead of time to smooth what likely will be a very challenging period. If you google ed2go and Assisting aging parents, you can view the course syllabus and even the entire first lesson. Valuable information for those of us with parents in their golden years, I'd say.
M: A really long time. Crisis: 5 years. She's still worth it.
Life is never made unbearable by circumstances, but only by lack of meaning and purpose. -Viktor Frankl
