Two small wins
Two very small wins this week but they feel big:
1) We needed to run errands yesterday to a town we don't usually visit and she didn't argue with me about my driving;
2) She let ME call a window cleaner I had used before to set up to get the windows washed (there are a lot) and she didn't argue and didn't fuss when we got the estimate today. Very efficient, as I knew they would be.
Whew. I could get a lot more done if I didn't have to rehash every decision......I'll take what I can get!

Aren't "wins" wonderful? They just make you feel better about everything.
Now, about the window cleaner...........not a task I'm good it. My 'clean' windows always look like a three year old with muddy hands attempted to clean them!!
Thanks for sharing.

M1- Way to go!
Just getting DH to leave the house with me for errands is not a given these days, so -- that you had cooperation on that AND did not have a tug of war about driving...plus a 2nd win in the same day? Huge. And thanks for sharing. I got a lift out of your wins yesterday. So nice to hear.
