Dear M,

 Tonight I do not have much time so I will make this short.  Today was a good day today at work.  It started off very poorly though because I was miserable and home sick.  But I got over myself and dealt with work.  All day I got walked on by a fellow worker not doing what I wanted/needed him to do and what my supervisor was asking me to tell him to do.  So towards the end of the night I had had enough and called a timeout and had a chat with everyone.  We hammered things out as men and dealt with what was agitating us.  So from that stand point I stood my grounds and didn't yell or scream but talked about my feelings.  So, after all that about an 8 for work.  As for relationship she was really proud of me for what I did with the timeout and she kept telling me how much she missed me.  No delving into our problems other than me telling her I have taken the first step in getting in contact with a therapist....who emailed me back by the by.  It was average but with all there was it was my best effort so I am content with another 8 there.  Good job today.  Goodnight.
