Setting Boundaries for MLC Alien H

[In Limbo]

Well, it was strep. But we've got the antibiotic, so as long as nobody else gets it we're good to go.

H called and wanted to meet for dinner. So that's breakfast Thursday, dinner Thursday, dinner Friday. What's up with that?!? Anyway, we met and H actually complimented how nice I looked and teased me into sitting beside him in the booth. Everything went well except for two little "oops" on my part where I let it show that something bothered me. One was when he mentioned his dance teacher trying to talk him into going to a big party they're having soon. Without realizing it, my face gave away that I did not approve. He noticed right away and got a bit defensive, saying "don't worry, I'm not going b/c I'd have to wear a tux." Second time was when he teased me about asking him 14 times something (one of his major complaints is I ask too many questions). All in all, I guess if that's all I screwed up then I did well. As we were leaving he called S11 over to his car and gave him a video of a band and told him he could watch it when he got home. The thing has a parental advisory on it! Ugh! Anyway, he's at dance class and I think my state of mind is enough better than earlier today to be prepared for him to come home. Thanks to Grace I'm remembering to expect the best and prepare for the worst.

H still hasn't mentioned tomorrow night. Should be interesting to see if he heads out for the dance class that doesn't really exist and bails on his own friend. Will deal with that if/when it happens and be glad if he doesn't go. No expectations...no expectations.

Happy Friday all and enjoy your weekend!
