Are you kidding me?! pg 6! Thanks for catching me b/f I fell.
Okay, a bit of journaling a weirdly-NICE phone convo w/H last eve. Course there was an ulterior motive: He wanted sympathy. (Men, huh?) H: **cough, cough** Do we have a family physician?*cough* Me: Why? Do you mean for the kids, or you? (Yeah, playing a little stupid here. ) H: For me. I’ve got to get something for this cough. (I swear he did not cough once when he was here either yest. morn or a'noon. This must be a cse of Sudden-Onset Horrible Sickness.) So I look up the phone number, give it to him along w/the name/number of the kids’ ped., tell him where the office is located (all, btw, written down & provided him w/"his" files when he moved out in March). . . And he keeps talking. . . Do I know if they have urgent care hours. (Uh, it’s close to 7pm & he’s hardly “urgent” but I don’t say anything) . . . He describes his headaches & sinus pain . . . I’m making a few sympathetic noises and . . . HE KEEPS TALKING! . . .Then he gets beeped, says he has to take it but “I’ll call you back, okay?” Me.: “Uh, okay.” And, w/i a min., he’s calling back. Says that was [someone or other, apparently an expert on deadly coughing diseases] & H has “a virus” and there’s nothing to be done for it now. . .And he keeps talking! . . .Hopes it gets better b/c he’s flying out on Wed., won't be back til Sun. [tho he never did say where he was flying to]. I’m doing not much more than the occasional “uh, huh” (tho, lol, w/a Ques.Mark at the end sometimes), & then I said, in response to his concern about flying & not feeling well, “Well, I hope you’re feeling better tomorrow.” (& as a, lol, Are we gonna talk about your cough all night?!) and he says “Thanks. I appreciate it.” Uh – HUH?
Think it had anything to do w/the fact that I let him in my house, on my computer, while I was out to lunch w/a friend yest. afternoon? (Yeah, WTH I thought. If he wants to snoop to see where I've 'been', he knows how & I’ll never figure out if he did.) Maybe he saw my desk calendar w/all the P.sessions & the $$ I made written next to each. ?? Who knows. (I journaled last nigth: Maybe he’ll be nice tomorrow. Maybe he won’t.)
This morning he brings to the kids to the door as planned, stayed on the stoop hugging D, makes min. eye contact w/me, asks "Okay, is there anything I [should have - or - for me]?" (prolly mail or something, I'm not sure what really) I said, "Umm, no." & he said "I'll see you on Sunday, then."
Weird, esp. in view of our latest Talk. But, oh well. Off to start a(nother) Busy Day. Cheers, all!
