New Post for Wifey

Thanks, Gucci.

I will keep it in mind on the dogs in the future. It is always funny when I am distant that he tries to find something to "help" with.

Well tonight he got to help the S. I let him know via email that S needed one more book for school. He called on his way home and I told him it was 200 at the college bookstore, but the textbook exchange might have it cheaper, and oh btw, S needs asap because he has homework due on Thursday.

He had me email the info to his iphone. Called a little while later to say he'd gotten the book. I said to let S know. He hesitated as S hardly speaks to him. I said he could send him a text that he has it and S could come to his office to get it. H wondered if he should get it to him right then. I said I don't know. Send him a text and figure out how to get it to him.

He started to say something else and I said I had to go, goodnight.

Wifey,

Did H always communicate with you? Just curious. Can't figure mine out.

By the way, way to go!

(((Lost)))

He goes in spurts of communicating and pulling back, although I can't really say he's ever completely been dark. When he first left the house last June, he called nearly every day and he would answer the phone if I called.

Lately his thing has been to text, but not call. That is ok, because it helps me keep my responses brief. I can also "get around to" answering and not answer right away. Its rare for him to call, although if I don't answer his texts for a day or more he usually does call. So, I've obviously been taking longer and longer to actually answer anything unless it involves our son.

He also likes to forward me interesting articles from the Wall Street Journal. I read them, but I don't really say anything unless he asks me about a particular one later.

I went to my class a little bit early so I could return some books to the bookstore. Because of that, my H had offered to check on the dogs. My M's and S's dogs are both ankle biters with smaller bladders, so I agreed that it would be a good idea.

Surprise, surprise, when I left class I had a text on my phone letting me know he decided to stay over. He was watching Obama's health care speech. I thought, humm, that is weird.

Anyhow I responded ok. That I'd set the DVR to record it. Just leaving campus. He went to bed before I got here (I have a 2 hr drive) which was just fine. I got ready for bed and just before I went in the bedroom he called out to ask if I had any problems driving home. I said that I didn't. See you in the morning.

I was at the table when he came out to the kitchen. I'm not human until I get my first cup of coffee in me, so I really wasn't chatty. He talked about how funny the 2 little dogs were. Didn't say much about the prez's speech.

He initiated a hug and kiss before he left for work. I just said to drive safe and have a good day.

I'm not even going to waste the energy wondering why he stayed over. Who knows why? All I know is it was a surprise. It worked out well, though, because I was tired when I got home and bleary eyed in the am. Not much conversation there at all.

Thanks for calling again last night KJ. I needed it.

Who knows why he stayed over. But at least he felt comfortable enough to stay. I can understand the morning thing.

That is great that he initiated a hug and a kiss before he left. That is always a positive sign. That heart may be melting just a little.

Keep praising God,

Kevin

Hello Wifey. Just wanted to stop by and see how you have been doing. It's been a while since I've been around the boards. I drop in here and there. I'm glad you're doing well.

[Goodfight]

Hi Wifey, hope you are doing well. An its seems you really are very busy. Good for you.

I just posted on my thread and was wondering if I can have your input. Don't know how to attach it here or I would.

Can't figure out how to do it. Lol

Hi Kevin, hope all is well with you also. All of you are always in my prayers.

I'll go to your thread Lost. Kevin, something comes up or it starts raining every time I want to go fishing. My luck just hasn't panned out on the fishing.

Journaling:

The weekend was over-all a good one, but it was also weird. I broke the lawn mower again on Friday. Technically the bolts just came out of the rim while I was mowing, but I was driving it at the time, so I take responsibility. Thankfully they didn't come all the way out, the mower just stopped moving, else I might have gotten hurt.

Send a text to my H to let him know about the mower. I didn't know what it was, just that it stopped moving. H responds that he will come by to look at it.

He showed up with beer, food and snackies. I had no idea he planned to stay over until he walked in the door. So surprised I snuck away to call SMW while he was out looking at the mower.

H came inside and told me what it was on the mower and then took me down to the mower to show me. I said, wow, I could have gotten hurt. He said that is why I don't want you mowing the steep parts of the hills.

That is when he said it is Friday night and time to go inside, eat, have a beer and relax. I had actually made pork chops and sweet potatoes and carrots without even knowing he would be there. So, he was able to have a hot meal.

Had a call from my S to let me know he would like me to go to the Dr's in the am. Fell on his bike. (More on that later.) Did not want to go tonight.

We watched some more of the series From the Earth to the Moon. After the segments we watched I got ready for bed. He initiated a hug and kiss before bed.

I kept thinking the whole night was weird, but I was just going with it.

I left before my H was awake to pick up my S. As I expected it was a multiple (5) hour ordeal in the ER. To everyone's surprise, his foot was only severely sprained, despite the massive swelling. Even he was sweating bullets, because he's finally made the connection that if I don't work I don't eat or drive my car.

Surprisingly, my H was still there when I returned home. I'd kept him informed about our S via text throughout the day. He was able to fix the mower. I surprised him with a local brewer's beer that he only buys as a treat, to thank him for fixing the mower. (Its very old, and limping along until we can afford a new one.)

We watched another set of the series From the Earth to the Moon. Around 11 we went to get ready for bed. He initiated another hug and kiss before bed. He settled into the guest bedroom with a pretty comfortable sigh.

This morning I was up before him and had already read the paper when he came down the hall. I made us breakfast sandwiches. He commented how he liked the sausage in them. I was cleaning up the kitchen when he said he was going to get going. I just nodded and then he gathered up his stuff.

He seemed to hang around a little by the door, but I think he was looking at my calendar. He asked about next Saturday. He saw I'd written Spaghetti Dinner there and wondered what it was. I told him it was a fundraiser for my friend's pet rescue and I was not only buying a ticket, I was also working it.

He came over to hug me and asked what I was going to do that day. I told him I was going to church, had some house stuff to do, and then I was thinking about driving down to put flowers on Grandma and Aunt's graves. I'd been thinking about them and wanted to bring down some pretty fall mums. He was surprised, but said it sounded really nice.

I got another hug and a kiss. He looked at me a while and then said I'll see you soon. I said ok, drive safe.

I hadn't decided to go to the graves for his benefit. They were his Grandma and Aunt, but I was close to them. The graves are 1 1/2 hours away. I just think it surprised him.

Anyhow, church was wonderful and uplifting. Made a trip to buy the mums for the graves.

I came home and finished the part of the lawn I didn't get done on Friday when the mower broke. Then I put all the dogs into the breezeway so I could stick-vac and mop all my floors. I worked up a really good sweat, but boy do the floors look nice.

Then I loaded up all the dogs and made the trip. It was a beautiful day for driving. I had no problem finding the graves.

I got a bit teary - eyed while I was there. Gram was a very traditional Italian woman that warmed up to me over the years, but it was hard at first. I was not Italian, I was blonde and horrors - I cut rather than twirled my pasta! Of course, then I had my S and I could do no wrong. It was as if I'd given her the most precious gift she could think of.

Nice drive back and I even had a call from my S letting me know he would be coming out when I got home. Mr injured boy won't have many work hours this week, so he needs to come "shop" the pantry and freezers. I may not have much money, but there is always food here.

So, interesting weekend. I feel more detached than ever and find it interesting that he is choosing to stay over when I least expect it. I don't know, maybe he was really comfortable when he was staying at the house when I was out of town. I'm not jumping to any conclusions, just thinking out loud.
