Quick Journal:

H asked me to have dinner on Thursday, before I picked SMW up. I agreed and left the plans to him.

Too funny and so predictable, he asks as he leaves work if I have any suggestions for dinner. I suggest the town next to ours, since I had to go to the store afterward. Then he asks what type of food. (This is the man that wanted to be the man, and make the plans, etc.) I said whatever you want. I am leaving the house, just tell me where I'm going.

Again, a man of habit, he says Applebee's. (I knew it would be one of 3 places and I didn't have a preference.) Dinner was nice and so was the company. He was really curious about Laura coming to visit. H even followed me to Wal-Mart after to see the pictures I ordered to know what she looked like.

I did stop Saturday night to introduce SMW to my in-laws. H made himself scarce. Don't know where he was.

Sunday after dropping SMW at the airport I hung around until close to noon and had lunch with a young lady, that used to date my nephew, for her birthday. Turns out her boyfriend of more than a year broke it off with her the night before her birthday. I think I was able to give her some advice and coping skills for her to try.

Came home and mowed. Mower therapy is always good for the soul. : )

Sunday evening I had plans to see my parents. S went to the in-laws after he was done with work and asked me to stop off. I did, H was there. I barely looked at or talked to him, mostly talked to MIL and S. Didn't ignore him, but didn't make any effort to engage him.

When I was leaving I said goodbye to everyone and told S I would see him at my M's. I turned and walked out and went to my car.

H scooted out the door real fast behind me to walk me to the car. H reached out to hug me and I hugged him back and then turned to my car and said goodbye. No real conversation took place and it was actually a good thing.

I've been working more on detaching in the last couple of weeks and I just didn't feel like making any more effort than I had. I wouldn't have even stopped if S hadn't called and said MIL wanted me to.

Had fun with my family. My S decided to leave Tuesday to head back to NC instead of Monday, so I will have one more day with the cute Nephew and the princess Niece.

Off to mow the back yard and then I'm off to visit. I'm hoping my sister will let me take him fishing. He's never seen a fish up close and I would love to show him what they look and feel like.
