House stuff It looks like contracts will be exchanged on the house this week. I feel ok about this, it was kind of depressing coming back here and I can start looking for somewhere new to live. I will have to find somewhere fairly quickly now though. I've also got to start packing, which I have been putting off. I've done a good load today but it was, as expected, like picking a scab on a wound. I have three piles - my stuff, H's stuff and stuff I don't know what to do with that is joint.
H contact We have had a bit of contact. I did end up texting him before I went just to say I was off to Cyprus in case anything happened with the house. It had been two weeks since there was contact - where we went for that meal and he pecked me on the cheek goodbye .
We exchanged a few texts mostly joking about the cat being put in a cattery before I went and him moaning about work. Then I emailed him on Friday telling saying hi and telling about the fabulousness of my holiday, asking for news on the house and I took a risk and asked him if he wanted to escape the office for cake next week for lunch.
He replied but I didn't get it till Sat night as I had already left work. He told me about what he did last weekend. He went to stay with a couple who he works with. He didn't mention ow, but clearly he would have gone with her. Bizarrely the woman he went to stay with he has spent the last year slagging off to me saying how crap she is. He accepted my lunch invite so we should be doing that next week. He also mentioned that he saw my old best friend from uni but that she didn't see him (I thought bloomin' lucky she would have had a *massive* go at him, not that she knows much but it is enough that he left me!!).
I had to text him on Sat morning to tell him about the potential exchanging contracts news. He asked whether I got his email and I replied with a bit of mystery saying no as I hadn't been staying at home last night (ok, I was at my parents but he doesn't need to know that ) he texted back some more about the cat and told me he was test driving cars for his new job so I was encouraging and upbeat.
Me I had a fabulous holiday! Cyprus was so great to get away, I really needed the break. I went scuba diving, rode a jet ski, looked at monasteries, relaxed on the beach and in the pool, snorkelled etc. It was perfect, except I am now going on a diet!
It should be a busy next few weeks. I am feeling a little strange about a few things, being 'friends' with h as it feels strange the way he is speaking to me. His tone is friend like - that is weird but good... but still weird. I am used to either loving, obviously pre-break up, or him being distant. This new friendly h is taking some getting used to. The house stuff is stirring up a lot but I know that I won't feel like that for long. I just have to get through the next few weeks. Over all I am positive.
