Life is superduper busy. I had a great riding trip to a warmer climate and picked the best week for weather there. I don't want to jinx anything but H has spent a couple nights a week in our bed with me. Adjustment to sleeping with someone again! Some nights when he is extremely late to get home he will send me a txt about it. Adjustment to receive that contact from H, most of the time I reply with a thanks. H has been working his butt off to drum up business for his new business while still keeping up with current old business. No, we have not had a conversation about finances but in our SOP we do it in bits and pieces. I still try to walk that fine line between help/support vs mothering. I can't just sit back to watch him struggle and fail, that's not being a W either! Another horse came in for training after the first one went home when the client ran out of money. We have done more social things together (and had a good time) in the last 3 months than in the last 5 years.
Me - thankful to be busy and have the extra hours at work even though I am salary and don't get OT. Got some bad news about my back aches and pains but hopefully I can get and respond to treatment. Got some good news from my Mom when she gave me an early birthday present. Mom remembered me talking about a cruise being on my todo list when we went out for Valentines Day. Then at a family breakfast we were talking about cruises and she heard me ask H if he would ever go on a cruise with me (it just doesn't appeal to him), and he said no except maybe to Alaska. My Mom gave me a BIG check for me and H to go on a cruise to Alaska, or whatever I would like to do with it. She said it was about time she did something to help. ???
Mostly it feels like H is slowly remembering that I am not the enemy.
