We had a great time in Austin last Saturday. That was, hands down, the best date we have ever had — and easily the best one I've ever been on. We went to see the Capitol Building, ate and drank around Sixth Street, browsed through an antiques store, walked around Town Lake, and watched the bats come out from under Congress Avenue Bridge. A most excellent date, if I say so myself.
I've got to go to a meeting tonight since today is my day off. I honestly don't have the zeal for it that I have for the last two weeks. This week has just been draining at home and work. She didn't come home the past two nights, and I was really upset about having an empty house again. We went through the arguments of how it felt like she didn't live here before. I hope this can stop before they come up again. It does feel like she is wanting to come back to me, but I don't know when she'll take the step and actually do it.
I've done alright overall the last week dealing with compulsive behavior. The last two nights have been rough with her gone. Three nights ago I was particularly fighting myself and just put on my sandals and went for a walk around the neighborhood, which helped me an awful lot. I need to work on ways to divert myself though. I feel like the compulsion is too close to my mind.
