Separated, new baby, but still hopeful

So....what do I make of how WH acted this evening? First off, tonight I looked good and had perfume on, lipstick, etc. before I left for my class. It was a case of WH not making eye contact with me, like he did once before in December when I got gussied up to go somewhere. Hmmm...I thought. Then smiled to myself.

Well I head out to my class, but I had plenty of time to spare. So I stopped at Ross Dress For Less and tried on some jeans but they weren't a good fit. I picked up a grill pan for veggies to put on the grill, a new pair of black sandals, and a round hair brush. I still had 30 minutes before class started, so I called a friend and walked around the neighborhood (for some exercise) and the class was a little easier this time (phew!). When it ended, I had no plans but did not want to come home right away. To kill time I drove around for 45 minutes! I was thinking "must be mysterious. must make him "earn" me" lol!

So I arrive home and he is relaxing on the chair, flipping through some catalogs. I asked about S and he shared. He was not in a hurry to get up and leave! I got some water, asked about the catalog he was looking at. I made some more chit chat about S and then he got up to use the restroom. I sat down and starting looking through the DVR, commenting on how I need to find new shows and he sat down on the couch and told me about one starting soon (Justification?) so I tried to look it up and it wasn't on the guide yet. Then I told him my cold is annoying because it switches between stuffed head and constant runny nose. He left, I heard him unzip his workbag (dun da dun dun!) and walked in the room with some medicine. He said "I only have one left, but here is a mucinex. They do a pretty decent job!" I said, "thank you! I appreciate it!"

Then he went into the kitchen, and the lightbulb still needed to be replaced on the stove. I heard him fiddling and he plugged in a strand of mini lights that we purchased 3 or 4 years ago that are designed to run under the cabinets but he never set up. It worked well enough- the glow from the lights really helped to light up the kitchen. So I said "Wow, that works pretty well, actually! It will totally help me when I have to come down at 4 a.m. to make a bottle!"

These things stood out:
1) he was not in a hurry to leave
2) he suggested a show I might like when I commented about needing new shows
3) he got me some cold medicine when I said I wasn't feeling good
4) he found a "light source" for me to use temporarily until he buys the correct light bulbs

minor things-
1) he didn't make eye contact with me before I left
2)he left the VS catalog addressed to him! I received one, too, addressed to me. I just smile because I remember a couple of months ago, he took his catalog! It's a small thing.

So I am a little nervous because he was being so nice. ???
