Just a little journaling. No expectations, but since I tend to focus on the work that needs to be done and overlook small accomplishments I will document a few.

D16 has a new boyfriend her 1st. During a W D16 discussion where W explained that D16 is not allowed to entertain in her room alone. W shared post discussion that she told her that if D16 wants to invite BF over to watch TV that W and I would be happy to go upstairs. That would be MBR. 1st the fact W said it and 2 she told me.

While sharing about some work story and me paying all of my attention to W. W stopped and asked why are you looking at me like that? I responded, "Just listening". This stands out because in the past W didn't seem cognisant to whether I was paying attention or not. Now she seems consciously aware.

I know these things may sound petty, but when I get discouraged it will be here for review.
