I'm starting to work again, guys! I just did a bunch of computer work... I'll do a bit of paperwork, too, in the next two days and then I'm going in Thursday for a half day and bringing little girl!

I love work.

I had an interesting sort of thing with WH today. He hadn't texted or anything all day and by 6:30 I was getting mad. I was just like, "Why are you leaving me in limbo, I don't get it" and all this stuff.

Then he called! And he's been sick all day. He slept and slept and then finally went into the doctor. Lots of things-- rashes, a cold, and a bacterial infection. (From his trip to CO.)

So. An issue we've had in the past is what to do when he's sick. He wants to be babied. I don't baby people. So he moans and groans and I go "Oh, that sucks. Hope you get better."

I tried harder in this conversation today. BUT I got concerned that he was only thinking abuot himself and not thinking about how he could get little girl sick. So I mentioned about her a few times. Enough to get him to say "Her health is my first concern." I was surprised about that, actually.

After we got off the phone, I realized he wanted me to baby him more. So I did text him and say that I was sorry he felt so sick, hoped he rested well, and if he needed anything to let me know. He wrote back, "Thanks, {pet name}. I appreciate that."

So that's what happened.

He probably won't be around much because he's sick now. So... we may have to talk therapy over the phone.

NM, what's it been like when S has a cold?
