Uncertain and vexing times - must stay on DB point

[t33]

So, yesterday seemed to be a good day. I'm sure there were temp checks all over the place. I'm also sure I passed some and failed others. In any case, I worked the first half of the day. Got home around 4pm as my mom was picking up the kids to take overnight. Once they left, W and I went down the street for some food and drinks.

We hung out at the place for hours drinking and talking. I'm sure the alcohol helped push conversation, but I tried to keep any relationship talk to a minimum. She talked a bit about things she wants to do together. Places to go. Lots of future talk. Anytime things started to get to a point where the talk moved much further into the future, I tried my best to reign things in. Saying something like, "That's great but we need to take things slowly and see where things go. I've got a lot of things to figure out and we just need to approach each day at a time". Not exactly, that, but that was the idea of what I was trying to do.

In any case, the night went extremely well and we had lots of fun. Must continue to DB as she is still a WW, but the talk of the future certainly was an improvement. I'm cautiously optimistic, yet we do frequently have great weekends only to be sabotaged when she goes back to work. There is still months of work to be done, but it feels like we did take a step forward.
