Continuing to journal (transposing bits of my paper journal)
Friday night of last week....can't really remember what I did.
SAturday morning, h texts me at 6am to tell me that he had woken up with conjunctivitis. I texted back that I would get him something from the chemist because I was pretty sure he'd be stuck at work and wouldn't have time to go to the chemist himself. I couldn't work out why else he would tell me (would be nice if he explained why! - did he want my sympathy? did he want to cancel the family date because he felt crappy? I dunno)took d to swimming lessons at 8.30am.
went to the chemist on the way to swimming lessons.
When we got to swimming lessons (which are in the same centre as the gym where he works) I couldn't see him up in the gym (through the big window that overlooks the pool) so I texted him after a few minutes to let him know we were here. He came down about one-third of the way through her lesson. I gave him a cap that I'd gotten for free the day before and the drops for his eyes. Small talk...was ok. Finish lessons - he says he'll meet us at gymnastics. I take d into the change rooms to get changed - rush rush rush (I have half an hour to get from swimming lessons to gymnastics lessons and it's in a different suburb!).
Get to parking lot. I expected that h would have left already but he was sitting in his ute checking his phone (bloddy thing, he can't do without it these days, dunno whether he is just doing work stuff (ringing clients etc) or something else. d runs up to his car and wants to travel with him but he says that he needs to go get petrol (which would mean d wouldn't get to gymnastics in time).
d and I get to gymnastics on time. h doesn't end up getting there till nearly half an hour later. he has gotten changed. d was getting anxious that he took so long to get there and I was getting peeved because I want him to see what she has been learning. More small talk, tell him she's doing and what she learnt last week. d would look over frequently and wave at us both.
I wanted to check what we were doing for the rest of the day (I knew we were going to a movie later on in the arvo but I wasn't 100% sure what we were doing between gymnastics and the movie). I had suggested going down to the marina and having lunch there. I asked if we were going down to the marina (weather was foul). h said there was a couple of things on - an ag show (unusual choice for him but possibly he selected it because he thought I would like it) or a hot rod show at the exhibition centre (booooring). Because it was such unpredictable weather it meant that the ag show wouldn't be a good pick and h had one (note..only one) free pass to the car show so we agreed to go to the car show (*sigh*).
Ag....need to pause here. Have to go cook brekkie for d and her friend. Will continue later.
