Well the weekend came off pretty much as planned. W repeatedly mention how she was enjoying the day on Saturday. We all had fun. While at the farm, W decided she wanted to purchase some Mums to fill a couple of whisky barrels in our front yard that have been weed filled for the last year. When we got home I started pulling the weeds out and she came out shortly after, so I helped her with planting the barrels and did some more weeding around the yard as she put up the Halloween and Autumn decor. Its nice to see her take pride in the appearence of the house again.

Sunday, I worked on the roof, cleaned the gutters, mowed the lawn and other yard work in order to prepare for the winter. Not FUN! , but needs to be done. W stayed in bed most of day. She thinks it was the effects of a new prescription she started taking Saturday evening. Then I helped step-D move out of our place and in with new roommate. My W expresses relief that step-D is now out on her own again.

In the "dark phase", W & step-D (22) would spend most evenings together. It was explained to me that W invited her to stay with us so she wouldn't alone with me in the evenings back then (after our D8 would go to bed). Then planned to become roomates when W wanted to move out. Lately, step-D has been spending most days & nights of the week with her friends because she was no longer getting the same amount of attention from her mom.

When I got back, W mentioned how she had missed me today. I mentioned how the chores needed to be done. She said she knows but she's come to like us spending all of our entire weekends together.

So more signs that W is continuing to become more comfortable in M now ... and as far as that rollercoaster ... not only is there no one at the controls anymore, but the lights are being turned off in the amusement park.

P.S. Been tough trying to keep up on the BB at work lately and need to concentrate on job. But will try to check in from time to time.
