Ok ladies. I caved. I called H a bit after lunch. Quick and upbeat. I started thinking that I didn't want him to think I was not calling on purpose. I just wanted it to be different from what he is so used to.
Anyway, after the intro I said you were saying this weekend that you didn't want to come home because you knew that I would be there, so after last night, I was thinking if you wanted a chance to be home, I could make some plans or find something else to do. He said No! We'll make those steaks tonight, and spend some time talking. I will spend the evening with you. Hmmm. Guess I'll keep my PMA and see what happens. Cautious optimism here.
Most of us are about as happy as we make up our minds to be.
