I am ok Flicka, thanks for checking.
I had a real busy weekend and today. I also managed to 'fry' my puter when I moved it to clean some other stuff. Turns out I moved it too close to a heater. duh.

H arrived home fine but late. I had maintained my NC with him. We have had 'family' plans since Christmas for Saturday night. I went without H. Everyone asked where he was, his seat had been prepaid and they would try to find a last minute stand in if he wouldn't make it. I said I didn't know, I hadn't heard from him, he didn't say goodbye, and I knew it was a stupid kids game but I wasn't contacting him. Someone sent H a txt, and he called me. He showed up 3 hours late and schmoozed enough with everyone so they all knew his reasons for being so late. I was surprised he even had agreed to come in the first place as he has refused for the last 5 years. Before the night was over there was a great song playing for slow dance, I teased H and asked if he had enough to drink that he would dance with me. (H doesn't drink) No dance but he was surprised! He was even more surprised when the next dance was Footloose and I told him he could cut loose on that one as I was leaving.

That whole dance convo was all in jest. H has only danced a handful of times with me in our years together, and I think half of that was in our own living room. sigh

You are very right Flicka that we are tired. Each time I get this tired I have to dig deeper just to stay even. How does that ever get me ahead? How do we get to the future and thrive when we are so busy surviving? Keep trodding....

Speak of surviving, I came 20 miles on the Big Road tonight in the snow. There were 5 cars and 2 semis scattered off the road in that 20 miles. The snow is so dry it just swirled everywhere and it was like driving in a blizzard.

Now that I am home it is a good night. A beautiful falling snow, candles gently glowing, warm soft snuggle socks, both dogs curled up close to me. Just one thing missing. sigh again.

You are passing up a trip to England in the name of DBing? you are tough! I was going to suggest that you should go with him but let him rush back home in his style while you continue on with a nice relaxed trip.

As for Jeff, he'd better shape up pretty quick or I really will kick his butt when I drive thru Huntsville in a couple months! Better yet, I'll make him take all 5 of us women out for dinner! or even better than that he'll have to cook for us at HIS house! Shakin' in your boots Jeff? ;\)
