Thank you. Yes, I read when I am able. I read the news, etc. Sometimes I am unable to read, sadly.

I just know that saying "I want a bowl of cheese for dinner," Uhm, that really doesn't get my desires across. That's just my weird brain. I can't serve my family bowls of cheese. I do say when I want something. I am a picky eater and I was raised to know that being a picky eater is a very bad thing and rude. So, I try not to be the "picky annoying person who can't eat anything so everyone else in the room has to deal with her." I've been much more opinionated on things since this all started. Because there are women out there circling in the water that make me think I have to step up my game or it might be trouble for me.

Things have gotten a bit better. But, he's still spending all of his time with others. But he's been more responsive. A little bit. But he was okay with me sitting next to him for a while and didn't pull the whole "I don't want you sitting there all night." I won't give up now. I think he's still in there somewhere, but just trying to be "cool" for these guys. Maybe he will see they are just normal guys and he doesn't have to block me out. He can still be friends with them and still spend time with me, too.

Maybe it is an early mid-life crisis at 27....
