I came home from work and let the dog out. H was not home by 6 so I decided to go and pick up some RX at the drugstore. Wouldn't ya know I met him at the end of our driveway. I told him where I was going, and he said can't you go do that tomorrow after work? I said it's hard for me to get there with the traffic when I leave the office, I won't be long. Do you need me? He said no. I said I'll be right back. I smiled and drove away.
I kept telling myself not to give in and turn around, and then he called me on my cell. Told me that he had his check and would I want to deposit it in the ATM tonight? I said I wasn't too far away so I would turn around.
I came back to the house and he gave me his paycheck. He then took the b'day check that my parents gave him and said, well I'm going to meet Bill at the pub and have a couple of b'day beers. (WTF?) Their b'days are w/i days of each other and they are the same age. I was surprised, but said ok. He went right back out to the driveway with me. He said I have to come home and do some work in the barn, and you can watch me. I said ok. ????
So, I left ahead of him. When I went past the bar I saw that Bill was not there, which is weird, since Bill gets out of work much sooner than H and is usually there first.
I went and deposited the check and picked up the RX's. When I came home Bill was still not at the bar, but H's truck was. Then guess what? Bill's wife called me at about 7:45 to confirm a meeting that we are attending together Thurs. night. Bill was someplace else entirely. Big surprise. Whatever!
I'm watching Monday night football and enjoying my glass of wine. I will go to bed at 10 and I think I will see if I can meet friends for a drink tomorrow after work.
I am not going to call him. I usually would. This is another level of detachmet.
How sad. It is such a waste.
Most of us are about as happy as we make up our minds to be.
