Yesterday was an up and down day. I was still feeling upset with the issues that Dave and I have been going through the last few days.

We talked a few times while I was work but that is just hard to do since phone calls never replace the in person talks.

After the last call, around 2:45, I texted and said I wanted to call a truce and that we should go out for dinner. He said okay. My idea was that if we got face to face in a restaurant we would talk without yelling at each other.

After work, I went to the bank to take out cash for my cash stash for the trip to Mexico. Then to the liquor store for some wine for me since all my wine was at Dave's house and I had none at mine and I wasn't sure how the day was going to end and if I was going to be home alone, I wanted a glass of wine to relax me before bed. (Turns out I didn't need it.) Then I went tanning and no JIM this time, so I actually got to go inside the building and tan. I was SOOO relaxed (or maybe so tired from being stressed out) that I fell asleep in the booth and was startled awake when the tanner turned itself off. But what a nice, warm, nap I had for those few minutes!! Then I ran to Wally World for some basics. Then finally home.

I took a shower since I had tanned and got a little sweaty, or should I say I GLOWED because woman supposedly do not sweat!!! LOL

Then I watched some TV while getting dressed and made up. Dave texted me about what time we were going and I texted him back that I was just about ready to head over there.

I drove my car since I figured I invited HIM out and so I should take care of everything. He was hiding behind a tree to scare me, but since I drove instead of walking, I never saw him. I let myself into his house and couldn't figure out where he was until he knocked on his own door. Too funny!

We hung around the house for a little bit while he was getting ready to go and we went out. We choice this little place that has great burgers and wonderful malts. It's set up like a 50s diner. Well, we did have the malt, but neither of us went for the burgers. I am trying to cut down on my fat intact so I had a grilled chicken salad and Dave had breakfast. Nummy!!!

We went home and just kinda relaxed for a while and talked. We had a really good, serious talk and figured out a couple of things and Dave admitted that HE caused the whole issue we were currently dealing with because he tends to get a bug in his head once in a while and gets confused about what he wants and then he tends to go off the deep end. it's okay. He basically didn't realize what he wanted until he was faced with the fact that he doesn't want to be without me and so he knows he has to compromise, just as everyone does in a relationship. anyway, it's all good and we are back on track again.

After all the talking about serious stuff, I was pretty worn out and I slept so good last night.

Got up, did my morning stuff and then headed back to Dave's to make coffee and get his butt outta bed. He was a bit slow this morning and he fell back to sleep. I was in the kitchen, having my coffee and listening to my MP3 player when he finally got up. We talked for a bit more, about nothing important and he was pretty happy to be feeling settled again. I was, too, of course.

And that brings me up to now, here at work.

It's Friday and NO ONE can take that away from me!!!

Tonight we are supposed to go to Zorbaz for a Halloween Haunted House that they set up in the lower level each year.

Tomorrow we are going to apple picking in Jordan, MN. Dave and I are wondering what excuse DOUG will have for not going. He always SAYS he wants to do this and do that, but when it comes time to actually doing them, he likes to back out. We decided that if he does, April, Dave and I will still go and have a great day. I just feel bad for April because Doug always backs out if it's something that APRIL wants to do.

Sunday is Dave's mom's birthday party. I don't want to go. His family are pretty cold people and not very welcoming. And since I am NOT his wife of 15 years, I feel a bit out of place. So, I am going to tell Dave to go on his own. I could really use a day at home to catch up on stuff. I have laundry to do (as always!!!!) and carpets to clean and a basement to go through. Next Sunday, Dave is heading off to go duck hunting in Canada with a bunch of guys for five days, and I am looking forward to that, since I will have time to take care of stuff that I normally find no time to do. the big stuff, you know. Like cleaning out my basement. And now I have to get my office cleaned out so I have room for all the equipment I need for setting up working at home.

Everything here is falling into place. For now, anyway.

Someday I will look back at this time and realize it wasn't as bad as I think.

God, I need a nap!!!
