Hi artsy,

I'm glad to know I'm not the only one feeling like it has been a really really long summer!

I had a nice gal with the kids today. I met up with a friend who I used to work with and she was there for me 3 years ago...she was going through a split with her significant other also. It was nice to catch up and her kids and my kids had a blast playing.

I was a little bummed that H didn't call or text (one of my goals is that H will call or text each day, to show that I am making progress). I got home and noticed 2 missed calls from him! I really wanted to call him, but thought, if he really wanted to talk he could have called my cell or left a message. 20 minutes later he called again. Goal completed!

Anyways, H comes home from his training tonight and is in a mood. He was talking about pics I took for another coach and if I could print an extra one, then told me that he said I could. The other coach told him thanks you're great but your wife is awesome. H said "well you can have her." I let it go.

H began talking about his training and then talked about what was going to happen with him this weekend. While we were talking, H dad calls me...what? I answer and talk with him (whole other story). H mentioned to FIL that I was willing to help him if he ever needed it. FIL was concerned regarding our sitch and how H would feel. H proceeded to say that we were friends and it wasn't a negative split...wait, we haven't split or really done anything (only believe 1/2 of what they do and nothing of what they say). I took this opportunity to take the dog for a walk.

I was impressed that H was actually still home when I returned and stayed another 30 minutes. Even though I didn't like all the self talk and negative comments, I still see a baby step in here! One more day down on this loooooong journey.
