Progress, not Perfection!!

Well, W showed up back at the house last night. She was kinda cranky, was tired, not all the chores had been done while she was gone, etc. I stayed outside for a while and did yard work. Later, S wanted some time with her, she was busy, so he and I played some cards. She thanked me for that this morning, took some pressure off of her. I wanted to keep her crankiness from affecting him. He's been doing so well. He's sick today, she thought it may be an affect of him being worried about her and I. I didn't tell her about how he's been waiting up for her every night.

Did my best acting-as-if, didn't talk at all about where she's been, what she's been doing. Things stayed rather pleasant for the evening, she started feeding off of my good mood.

I fell asleep while she took a shower. I woke up and saw her reading our love languages book (part of an ongoing homework assignment from the C). I didn't mention it to her at all. No hugs or I-love-you's between us, but she did hold my arm in her hand as she was falling asleep. Baby steps.

It's my night out tonite, going to an Ocktoberfest party with friends. An event we used to attend together. She called and left me a long v-mailed, wished me a good time, see you tonite. Very friendly.

I'm thinking I didn't totally blow her out of the water at the C session. She's still very confused, so I'll stay way backed off.
