Quiessent today

don't know if I've spelled that correctly.

got home a bit early today, as planned, to continue to help with the "crazy" level of housecleaning, as I term it.

M wasn't home. Dont know if she'd gone off to an appt or to lunch or what. But, she arrived shortly after I'd changed my clothes to get started.

With her book, "Sometimes I Act Crazy".

Quiet and staying to herself. Hooray

Looks kind of like she's taking a day off....


Appending Sunday:

Well, Friday p.m., I spent several hours cleaning the kitchen, while she continued to rest and read on the deck (that's a good thing).

She's been reading "Sometimes I Act Crazy" a more current book by the same authors as wrote "I Hate You, Don't Leave Me".

(She finished it yesterday; not sure that she got all that much out of it, since the primary treatment options still remain things she's resistant to doing....)

Anyway, afternoon went as it went. And, she seemed almost friendly, finally.... so, we actually went and ate. I offered to take her to Applebees, but she chose to just go down to the corner pub -- something that has been known to be OK, or bad, depends.... Food can be decent, never great. Prices on beer have gotten a little high... but I digress

Amazingly, she had only ONE pint of beer. Almost as if she was trying to be careful not to overdrink.... Part of her knows there is a huge issue with alcohol and loosening her bad mood and nasty remarks.... So, I was glad for that.

Came home. Watched a little TV, reading, etc.... she had a glass of the sparkling wine she'd opened night before (ran out of beer, white wine, etc.... poor thing).

Then, after a bit, she poored what was left into her glass and a flute for me and brought it to me with a toast. "How about we just get over it and get on with it...." or something like that..... a clearly reconcilial statement, whatever it was....

And, shortly after that, I went to bed in a peaceful way - and was unbothered. She came to bed, cuddled up some (late) and seemed to go to sleep in a good mind....
