Well the Super Bowl party was great. Lots of laughing between us and the kids. I made a pizza bubble ring and some of BND's meatballs and Jeff and S16 made hot wings and they made the stinky dip, too. D13 had a friend over and they were right in the middle of everything with us. It was a lot of fun. Lots of joking and bantering, putting his hand on my back when he walked around me in the kitchen and stuff...he playfully pinched my side once and I asked him if he noticed that he pinched more than an inch. He said that was okay because he'd been "reading up on loving big women". I busted out laughing and high-fived him because that was quick! Another time, he walked behind me when I was sitting in a chair and he ran his hand through the back of my hair. Sometimes the only way I know I don't live there anymore is because I leave at the end of the night...
He said he loves being back on the M-F, 7-3:30 shift. He's got seniority and people are coming to him for advice and he said it makes him feel good. I am very, very thankful for that because he has needed it so badly.
So lots of changes that have been a loooong time coming and other things are still just idling.
I have gotten the feeling in the last day or so that I'm going to have to tighten up and stand back in the gap.
No clear "word" on that yet, though - not that I can claim I've really be listening.
