Quote: Way to go on the cats!!! That's what you need to do...make sure there are no distractions, this is about the two of you just as you said. You handled this perfectly IMPO.
The cats will probably be pawing at the door the whole time...but, if it's only five minutes or so, let them paw. Besides, they're front-declawed, so they won't hurt anything.
Quote: Also, I'm glad you didn't wait until Oct was here to bring up the plan to her...I also believe she needed to know you remembered that you two had made a deal, time was approaching....and you expect her to hold up her end of that deal. Right off the bat you are letting her know she's not wriggling out of it....wriggling up to you sure, but not out of the deal
Well, I nearly screwed that up...it was, after all, only 3 days before the 1st by the time I spoke to her. But "nearly screwed up" is still "did it OK," I suppose.
We actually had some fun together last night...not sexual, but playing a computer word game. Though she doesn't like computer games as a general rule, she likes word games; she spotted me playing, then sat down next to me and started calling out suggestions for words to find on the game's board. I credit her with helping me achieve a new high score. Now we need to start achieving high scores in our R.
