I just got H's credit card bill; I do all the bills, and he knows I see these. Looks like he's been spending time in COW's hometown, which had never occurred to me. Had a split-second of stomach knot, then asked myself, "Okay, does that change anything?" and answered, "Nope." Stomach knot gone.
You folks in earthquake country, you know that moment when the earth begins to shake and you don't know whether it's going to get more and more intense or fade away? Felt like that. Just a tremor.
ST, thanks for the point about H being late. Occurs to me he's probably quite, ahem, busy doing whatever he's doing, and may very well be late. I'm packed and have my stuff stacked by the door, so I'm ready to kiss the kids and wave a cheerful "Have a good weekend!" to everyone on my way out.
