Journal...

H got home pretty late last night, later than me. I can't complain about him spending time at the gym though. I like that he's taking this so seriously. He just joined last week, so my guess is that in a couple of weeks, the obsession factor will wear off and he won't be spending as much time there.

When he got home he asked me if I bought the book about the Czech Republic so that he could look at it. I hadn't, but this was a good sign, that he was actually showing interest in the trip.

We pretty much just went to bed after he got home, so not much of interest happened. In bed he asked me to hold him, which was very sweet. He used to do that all the time, say "come hold me." So of course I did.

This morning H had to leave early for a meeting. Usually I leave while he is still in bed, so this was different. He mentioned again that for the next week he is going to be busy studying for his exams. I told him I understood. His attitude toward me seems to be slowly improving. It's one of those things that I can't really explain by any specific actions or words, but more in the tone of voice that he uses, and the way that he smiles when I say something. When we say good bye in the morning it's still "later", or just "bye", but this is fine. I am not pushing for anything else. I am doing my best to act unfazed by the lack of hugging etc. I know we are on that path, and I know that pushing could set us back.

Anyway, I'm off to work now. I am slowly starting to get my act together there as well. I just hope it's not too late to salvage my career! It's just not the time for me to be spending loads of extra hours on the job, so I am going to have to do my best to simply get by and do an adequate job for the moment...
