Well I had a little slip up in conversation today with W, and it has probably put me a couple of steps back..
The kids mentioned that they were going to a B'day party for one of the W's friends tonight (friend has kids and they were going to a family restaurant).. I don't have an issue with this at all, but I made an off the cuff comment "I suppose you are going to go out drinking tonight".. The comment was said as a joke, and had that tone to it as well, but the W has Aunt flo visiting (if you know what I mean) and fired back with "I'm not, and it's none of your business if I do" plus a couple of other smaller comments.. I mentioned that I was joking, but I can't help but to think that it was taken the wrong way, and that I am back a couple of rungs down the ladder..
On a positive note, I have been approved for a unit near the W and kids, so a move will be coming up shortly!!..
