Backwards day today. Often, w starts the day out being friendly to me, then pulls back later on. Today, she started out crabby at me and things improved as the day went on. Up and down, but the overall trend line was up I'd say.

We're parenting together which is great. I'm enjoying the time we are around each other...even if it's just doing house-stuff.

I'm trying to maximize the impacts of our interactive time (still a fair amount of just coexisting, but less) by feeing upbeat, attentive when she talks, doing as much around the house as I can (acts of service).

There's a long way to go, but I'm upbeat. And if thing fall apart, I'm still going to be great. I'm looking inward for validation and self-image now instead of to her all the time.

Excited for work to start up tomorrow. Summer break is over and students come back next week. I'm excited because it gets some more routine going and I get to have some more adult interaction.

D talk has slowed, a lot.
Gradually working on things together. Still separate bedrooms.
Slow and Steady wins the race.
