Thanks, everyone for your support.

D7 and I had a great time tonight. On the way to the event, she even said, "Finally, some girl time!" That's a bit of an exaggeration since we spend tons of time together, but it was great that she was excited about our evening. H knew where we were because it was actually his night to have her, so I had to ask him to switch. We had a brief text exchange just before the event started:

H: Have tons of fun tonight!
Me: Thanks!
H: Anytime baby!


And then an hour or so later:

H: Is D7 having fun? Are you?
Me: Yup!


So, more positives, I think. He's reaching out more and I'm trying to respond in a friendly, but not overly eager way.

While I'm looking at positives, I'll talk about a personal positive for myself. The event that D7 and I went to is very crowded. The parking is a nightmare. It is an event to which I typically wouldn't drive myself, because the traffic and parking situation stress me out. However, I wanted to go and wanted to take D7, so I did it and didn't get stressed out. I did make sure to leave a little early before most of the crowd did, but D7 was tired by then and ready to go anyway.

Tomorrow, I'm taking D7 on a play date and we're going to the zoo on Friday. We've had a busy week! smile
