Part 19 - keeping on keeping on

[edz]

Thanks rd, yup I suppose I was this morning.

It's being so close, seeing that w is clearly thinking through next steps but isn't there yet, especially when it's something where she's capitulating to what she *thinks* MIL will say or do (at this point she hasnt told her so is mind reading!). I appreciate it's hard for her and made a point to tell her tht this morning but I have to admit to feeling tired this morning when I got in, not just how long have I been up but 9 1/2 months in fatigued, it can get frustrating, PMA wins out as does knowing when to take a step back and semi-detach from the moment and from me and take a 3rd person look at what the situation is and exactly how much has happened.

When I do that I see in the last week we've had dinner, w stayed over (s's room) we had a family day on monday and w brought up the christmas timeframe, tried to put my ring back on, I went for dinner and slept on the sofa and spent the entire night watching the election on her sofa after she just dropped around last night. Thats all on top of the changes in the past couple of months from the mini golf onwards.

So yes, need to keep perspective, patience and caution on expectations but it can be difficult now, so near, yet so far at times!

Cheers
