I just got back from a 3 mile walk with Buffy and it was lovely. It is about 40 degrees but we worked up a sweat.
I rented "Georgia Rule" and made pasta last night after doing some much needed cleaning. It was a nice evening. I like my own company, actually.
I'm not sure what I'm going to do with the rest of my weekend alone, but it's beautiful here, going to be in the 60's and sunny, and I'm not minding being alone as much as I thought.
I had to talk to H last night about a couple of financial issues when he called and it actually didn't go badly. He has always freaked about money matters so I've always had to handle them myself. Now he sees that as my having all the control all these years. I offered for us to start sitting down once a week and going over things so he knows where we stand and maybe keeping a calendar together and putting everything due down where he can see it at a glance and I won't get blindsided by things he comes up at the last minute with that need to be paid.
Maybe if we can come to some kind of comfortable plan for sharing our financial duties he will back off some.
I had a call from D18 Wednesday night that she needed money for books Thursday because her money wouldn't be released until the 23rd. It came to almost $400. (which I thought was not that bad for 5 classes), but when I told H Thursday evening he started cussing under his breath and got really mad and left for a run and wouldn't talk to me.
That's why I initiated the conversation last night. He said it was just always something and that we were always having things come along like that. He didn't apologize (and I hate that and need to just get over it) for his reaction.
Anyway, I don't want all the responsibility for paying the bills when he thinks he can go spend money carelessly and then I have to find a way through it all. Maybe this will help. I hope.
Have a wonderful weekend!
