My H was later than usual. I sent him a VM to ask if he was still planning on coming over. H: Just gotoff the train in <my town>. Do you want to still do tonight? It's up to you. Me: Sure. H: I'll be there in half an hour. Me: Oh, you don't have to stop to get a bite to eat. I cooked something you something you can eat. H: Great.
As we sat down to eat, he thanked me for dinner. He never used to thank me when I cooked a meal, something that hurt me deeply. I was touched by his thanks this time.
Steelers, he loved what I cooked him. It was a spicy marinated beef roast I got from a store. I put it in a slow cooker so it was all ready when I got home. He even asked how I cooked it and insisted I showed him the packaging (because he wanted to get it). I told him he could take the rest of cooked meat with him. He was thrilled.
Anyway, he took his time working on the basement. It was great team effort. When we were done, I asked if he wanted a back massage. He said he wanted a neck massage.
So he got a very long neck and back massage. He was in NO hurry to leave, unusual because he used to say he had to leave to get up early for work.
Anyway, we had a good "together" time after that. He fell asleep at 11:30pm. I let him sleep and did some work until 2am. ------- BTW, while working on the basement, I told him I was going on vacation and he asked why I picked the destination. Me: I heard people say good things about it. H: I tell everyone that our cruise was the best time I ever had. Me: I know. . . Me: My sister has been pestering that I should go on a vacation. H: She's looking out for you. Me: Yes, she wants me to relax. . . During his back massage, we talked about watching movies and DVDs. Me: Last weekend, I saw a wonderful movie "P.S. I Love You". I cried the whole time. H: I remember how you'd cry watching "Below Zero". I was thinking you might like the movie "Puppies" but not sure. Me: Is it on now? H: It's coming, I think. Me: I might like it. Me: I need to order some more DVDs. H: I used to love watching those DVDs with you. Me: Did you really? H: Yes. Me: Would you like to watch them with me sometime? H: That would be nice. ...
