C called me today to let me know that the futon matress was finally delivered and that I could come by and pick it up after I worked out tonight. I got over there around 8:45 but C was not there. I know the combination to open the garage door and I got the matress and put it in my suv and I then called her on the cell to let her know that I had picked it up. She said she was almost home and that I might just wait for a few.
When she came home she had some left over dinner and asked if I was hungry (nothing to eat since lunch so I said yes) She sat with me in the kitchen while I ate and we just talked chitchat, fun stuff. She did say that she did not get home from seeing Sis last night till after 11 - I guess she had a lot to talk about.
I did ask her if she was still going to go see the counselor tomorrow and she said that she had forgotten to cancell and that she does not like to cancell at the last minute so she would go one more time. She had said before that she did not feel she could really open up to the C so I told her to really try to force herself so that she could really get some benifet from the session. after I ate we went to the living room and talked some more and eventually ended up on the floor in front of the couch playing with Big B (the Chihuahua I got her for last years aniversary present) She really seemed to have a good time letting Big B pull and tug on an old sock then throwing it to me and then I would let him pull and tug and I would throw it back to her. It was nice to see her smile again.
After Big B got tired and settled down a little and we started chit chatting again she started complaning about the fact that she could not figure out how to change a headlight in her car and that she could not start any of the lawnmowers, and several other things she seemed to not be able to do by herself then said she liked to do things with someone. I did not know how to respond to that one (after all - she did have someone to help her do things like that) I finally did say that we did work well together and reminded her of when she helped me finish my basement in the house I was in when we met. She said that she really did learn a lot from that.
afer a little more chitchit I said that I really needed to go and check on cookie - she walked me out to the car to say good bye and she asked me a little more about my upcoming date and where I was going camping. I told her that we might not go camping this weekend but would likely just go hiking then do dinner and a movie and save the camping til another weekend when we could go for 2 days.
As I was getting ready to get into the car she initiated a hug and even gave me a little kiss on the cheek.
