I am glad you got out last night and maybe had him wondering! Did you get some good deals shopping? Have a good Kohls coupon?
It sounds like maybe some little baby steps from your H? I am sure it was nice to have the porch lights left on for you!
I have finally been able to drop the rope as far as reminding my H of things or taking care of those little things for him. Like you said, he is a big boy. He seems to want to be solely responsible for himself (and himself alone) so let him.
I hope you have a great weekend. Another weekend of sticking around home?
