I think she's actually learned something in treatment. My husband overheard her on the phone last night talking to friends about where she's been this last month and what she's been doing and learning. He said it all sounded very positive. She seems almost ... I can't think of the right word to describe it ... there? Almost there. She's beginning to recognize that she has all these new tools to get along in the world, and she's almost accepting of them. This is very exciting. We've had some pretty interesting and enjoyable conversations the past couple of days. And she wants to go shopping for a dress together. I told her I'm planning on taking at least a month off from the theater to get my own head together. She seems almost relieved about that, too.

I know there's a lot of "almost" right now. But I like "almost" ... it means we're heading in the right direction and have so much wonderfulness to look forward to and anticipate.
