The last week went quite a bit better for me. Realizing I was down because I was fighting being sick really helped me get my PMA back on. Unfortunately, I am STILL fighting being sick - this is some kind of lingering flu/cold/thing that never completely wipes me out, but doesn't let me "fire on all cylinders" either.
W started out the week with a crisis of sorts at work - lots of politics and backstabbing going on. Tried to help her out (without 'fixing'!) by pointing out some possible causes for the other people's actions, and some ways she could possibly, maybe, if she chose to, take all of that stuff less personally and be more on top of it. It improved for her in a couple of days, I'm guessing what I said helped, at least to get her to step back a little from the sitch.
Still no more ML, but that's mostly due to me not feeling good. W is being more cuddly that usual, which I really like (my top LL!) but she seems to understand that I'm not up to it right now.
The struggle with D14 continues, but W seems to be getting more behind the 'lose priviledges until you shape up your attitude' approach. At this point, D14 has lost a bug chunk of her computer and TV access. For now, she just seems to be saying to herself, I'd rather live without them than clean my room - I wonder how long that will last.
Last night we went to see the movie Music and Lyrics. It was OK, but a lot of it felt sort of forced - like someone had cranked the whole thing out of a generic "romantic comedy generator". There were a few cute bits, but it didn't have the depth of feelings or humor of, say, The Holiday (the last romantic comedy we went to - did I mention that's all W ever wants to see? )
This afternoon we have dancing again. Since a new month has started, we are moving from the Hustle to the Cha Cha. Thank goodness - the Hustle is continual spins around each other and makes me dizzy as h3ll if I do it for a solid hour!
All in all, feel like I'm back on track, with my PMA and Patience both cranked up like they need to be. Life is good.
