This morning H sounded sort of short and stressed on the phone. I asked if he was ok, because he sounded weird. Long pause. He goes into how much he has to cram into this week since he's going on a golf trip on Thursday and is just stressed trying to figure it all out. I said, "OK, let's cancel tonight (movie night with S) and you can take that time to get more done." He said "No, part of this week is trying to spend as much time with you guys since you'll be gone for more than a week." I said "Awww, thank you, we appreciate that. Let me know if I can help." And we changed subjects briefly and I hung up on him.
He later sent me an email about finances. All normal. He ends it with...."and btw, i really do appreciate you being so okay with my little adventure this past weekend - thanks! see how nice that turned out for our checking account? no drama=more money! so lets make it thruough the next 2 weeks with no drama and then go from there..."
And it should be easier to make it through the next two weeks, drama free as I'll be gone for most of it!
So, I continue to lay low with even lower expectations!
