Hello, Lycaina here!
Let me preface this by saying that I love my wife Wren so fucking much. She's the best person I could have ever imagined to have by my side and I'm so proud to see her grow every month into a better version of herself and I'm so happy I get to grow near her.
So as I was sharing in my quick updates, last few days we had quite a bit of a snowfall, which is very unusual for the end of November based on how I remember the last few years. The snow was falling for almost 3 days straight, but it didn't fall in total more than maybe 10-15 cm. It was mostly wet snow, but surprisingly it lasted and only today it started to melt away significantly. Even then there's still quite a bit off it lying around.
On literally the first day of the snowfall we had a scheduled car cleaning which regrettably so we had to cancel due to the weather. It was a big bummer as we had to cancel literally less than 24h till the reservation and for allegedly AuDHD brain it's a nightmare. I couldn't focus on doing absolutely anything the evening when our relatives recommended us to stay home (it was almost 12AM mind you, I'm a night owl so I was fine, but what was their business writing so late is still unfathomable for me). Aside the mental crash out, logically speaking I was glad we didn't go, because I believe them when they said the roads were a nightmare. We've had a calm weekend and we managed to even build a huge snowman!
Yesterday though it was The time. There's an important visit we'll be having on a Saturday so we had to have our car cleaned and some things bought. Instead of taking our usual route through villages we decided to take a more straight road, with less altitude differences and turns for, hopefully, a safer drive, and a part of that road was through a road similar to a highway. That was our time on a road so big and fast paste and YIKES that was scary. My phenomenal wife took it as a CHAMP. She did so unbelievably good, despite the shitty weather with rain and fog in the morning, and the stressful night drive. To be fair she did a few mistakes, but fuck we're both alive, car undamaged and we weren't stopped by the police, and in my opinion that means she did fucking great for a first time on a highway-like road.
Besides the highway-like road drives she also drove us through basically the whole city that day, parking in shitty tight parking spaces, walking around the malls almost endlessly trying to find that One specific thing, enduring the endless questions of "Do you think this box will fit there?", "I don't know if this and that or those are a good choice", "Omg can we get *another capitalism mass produced useless toy/trinket*" for almost 12 h straight. We literally started our drive from home at around 7:30 AM and came back at around 8 PM. Oh also we both had doctor visits scheduled that day too.
My wife is an absolute powerhouse through and through and I absolutely adore her. A year ago she would be terrified of a thought of driving in a city and look where we are today. We started from awkward and scary drives through the villages and now we're doing regular weekend drives to the city she was so terrified of before and even dabbling into highways. We started from her blowing up at every inconvenient driver on the road and now most of the time she calmly brushes it off immediately.
Wren might not see this the same way as i do, but, if you're reading this, my sweetheart, please know:
You are truly growing and you're growing really fast. I hope I express my love and pride of you enough, so that one day your achievements will outshine your mistakes in your head. Yesterday was a very lovely day all of which happened only because of you and your efforts. Thank you my dearest and I love you <3
