A New Decade - Part 2

[MsMelancoly]

Kenn, I guess it's just a woman thing - LOL!! That is the ultimate detachment isn't it, Michelle?

You don't mean that I'm perfect, right Michelle? Cuz, I ain't by a long shot! Your statement kinda got me thinking. My XH will struggle through work issues, will struggle through hobby issues (like when he was in a band), but M issues - no - stop, drop& roll away from them. Maybe it just goes back to what we are taught & what we really want to fight for. And of course what is inside our "comfort" zone to fight for. No one likes being outside of their comfort zone.

On Thursday eve, I called my XH to see if we were still on for 3rd of July fireworks. No answer, so I left a message. Friday midday he sends me an email saying yes & about what time he will be over. I get the email kinda late, but reply back. Then at 5 or so he calls me, again to tell me he'll be over at 7.

He gets here, we have a drink, chat, grill out & he gets our bikes ready for the night ride. The bike ride was nice, we weave through the crowd to get a nice spot up close. While waiting for the fireworks, we lean back on our small blanket & relax, just before I sit back up I put my head on his chest for a few seconds. I think that kinda made him uncomfortable. Ooopps. We sat up, & had our drinks & watched the fireworks together like old, sentimental times, when we were friends. It was so nice & the fireworks were fantastic! I did think about last year & going to the fireworks without him, kinda sad & certainly not as enjoyable. When the fireworks were finished, we weaved through the parking lot with our bikes instead of staying on the street where everyone was walking, like we usually do. I then took us a new way trying to avoid the crowds walking & get us to the bike path. I forgot one little thing, how to get to the bike path from this new way!! We ended up dragging our bikes up a hill to get to it - LOL And who fell?? Me! Luckily, I didn't roll down the hill. Well, we made it all in good fun & beat the crowd to the bike path. I had asked my XH if he wanted to stay over earlier in the eve. He said he wanted to mow the lawn early in the morning, so no. Ok, then. Before he left we gave each other a nice hug goodbye, a short kiss & thanked each other for the nice evening. He then said he would call me today, after finishing the lawn & joked that I probably wouldn't be up yet!

Strange, strange, life surely isn't what we expect sometimes!
