Better

Well, Andy came over last night, but no Ross... apparently Donovan (his wife) was sick, and therefore Ross had to go home and take care of her. As much as I like Ross (he is a nice guy, after all), I was really only concerned because it upset Andy... I think she was looking forward to hanging out with him, and instead she was left feeling drained.

We sat and talked for awhile... she laments the fact that she hasn't been having fun recently. Too much on her mind... she doesn't want to have fun because she has so much to work on. I recommended that she write up a list of things that she does and doesn't think need improvement... might be interesting to see, at the very least... but I don't really know what else I can tell her to do. It's still a bit early... and these things sorta proceed at a pace of their own. But it's definitely a start... I think next she should try and think about Patrick, their relationship, and what it really meant to her... one step at a time and all that.

She didn't stay over last night (first Wednesday she hasn't in about a month, actually), but things were still good between us... the fact that I'm pulling back on the physical aspects doesn't seem to bother her too much (in fact, I think she appreciates it... which is good). Next time I see her I have to make something better, though... I made sorta-Spanish rice (too many substitutions for it to be a "real" recipe), but that's only because she was hungry and I didn't want to make her wait for me to buy groceries.

Last note: Got Guitar Hero 2, Final Fantasy V and Elite Beat Agents last night... $170. I'm SO broke for the rest of the month... but that's okay. I don't think I have anything major to buy... except maybe Andy's Christmas present. I still need to think about that.
