Dear Daddy,

I'm happy. I know you worry and you have all rights to. It’s been your job my entire life to make sure I haven’t killed myself. Good job you! I haven’t. I’m also not my sister. So I don’t think you need to spend so much of your mental energy on the amount of worry towards me.

He has sort of asked me to move in, and I told him we need to put a pin in that and bring it back around when we get closer to 9-12 months... But he also doesn’t want me to take me cat home. They love each other.

He does enjoy going out Monday nights, but does like them to be planned out.

I know you'd like to hang out with him more, and I’d love for that to happen as well, but I don’t think he's quite there. I think he's still getting use the amount of affection I give him. Currently he is really OK with holiday, special occasions and PLANNED dates of dinners or outings. I hope that over the next six months he'll be more inclined to initiate invites instead of me asking him about them. But of course you and mom can talk about it and plan a day to invite him over for dinners. (I think Sunday afternoons/ nights on the days he isn't working would be best for him.)

If my current path of changing careers takes hold, I’m sure he’ll want to keep my cat, but I’m not sure if I want him to quite yet. I think I want to give him a reason to go over and visit you guys! :p

There is a chance that he and I have talked about where he may revert back to being a grumpy old man who likes his alone time… and depending on where the job takes me and how much he reverts it could be the end of us (which is why I don’t want him to have my cat. That would be annoying to try to get back if I’m not even around to fight for him, ya know?

Currently I still don’t have a physical yet, so the career change isn’t progressing as I’d like it too. BUT it is giving me more time to get into the gym and get ready. So in other news when we went to the gym the other day I was able to run more than walk 2 miles … in a horrible time of 30 minutes. But I haven’t been able to do that at all yet. So I thought it was good progress. We are also up to 4 sets of 15-20 reps of flutter kicks. Which again when we started I couldn’t even do 5 without being out of breath! Push-ups have no advancements, still can’t do one.

I hope to try to get these updates around to you at least twice a month. Hopefully you still have this saved in your website updates. If so let me know by text. :)
