At Least We Have A Plan

[arjnex]

Talked to W about the plan last night...reminded her that October 1 is Saturday, so we could begin anytime from then through next Friday. She nodded.

I brought up that we probably want to close the bedroom door so that the cats stay out. She said, "I don't mind them being around." I said, "Well, I kinda think this should be about us, not about them. Besides, it's only five minutes." (One thing is, I don't want her distracted. One of our cats jumps up on the bed anytime someone is on it, and I'm pretty sure my wife would want to say hello to her, pet her, etc., which would take her attention off me, which is where we're trying to focus it.)

So, sounds like it's still on...of course, I'll have to keep an eye on her health. (She's still kind of recovering from that stomach bug she went to the doctor for two days ago. Another day should see the worst of that pass.) Also, she may get a bit of anxiety beforehand; I'll just have to be ready with the assurances of "It's okay, sweetie, it's just me here, and I love you, and I'm going to be extra-gentle with you, and I'm not going to go any farther than the plan says we should at this stage." Or she may be enthusiastic, in which case I'll enjoy it while it lasts.
