Hi Anita,

He and I were communicating this weekend, texting.  Again,  no mention of the past.  Our communication feels very comfortable, although I’m not sure where it’s going.  I mentioned that I woke up with a headache.  He said “I need to give you a penicillin kiss.” This is always something we said to each other when one was hurting…it needed a penicillin kiss.  This affection surprised me.

I’m not looking forward to the holidays.  I think I mentioned that already.  I am looking forward to seeing my son for Thanksgiving; I haven’t seen him since the beginning of October, but feel that I’m going to have a hard time getting through the holiday, and then saying goodbye to him until the Christmas holiday rolls around.  I can’t even think of putting up my tree.  There’s just too many memories. I feel like crawling under a blanket today and sleeping the day away.

I see my therapist tomorrow.  I’m hoping it helps.

Katie
