Well, Mr. A called again late last night, about 12:30. He said, Hey, I really need to sleep there tonight. I said ok.

Let's do a quick compare/contrast:

Mr. A called me last Friday and I didn't answer the phone. He came over anyway and said he just wanted to crash. I moved in on him and we did the deed. But then he basically told me that he regretted getting physical. He said, If I call like that again, just let me crash on the couch. ???????????

Knowing that I can't control Mr. A's thoughts, words, deeds, or anything else about him, I did incrementally better last night. He called and I answered. As mentioned, he said he just wanted to come here to sleep. (Yes, I do sort of know how messed up all of this is!) So anyway, I said ok, I'll leave on the porch light and unlock the front door and have a pillow and blanket downstairs for you on the couch. I will be in bed asleep when you get here, so just go ahead and make yourself comfy downstairs.

This time he let himself in and came right upstairs and hopped into bed with me. I said, What about sleeping on the couch? He said, Can I please sleep up here and cuddle with you? I said ok.

So our night together maybe was not what Jody would consider "romantic" - but I thought it was pretty damn nice. We ordered a pizza for breakfast and watched part of a movie this morning. Then he had to leave to go to xSIL's birthday party. We're meeting back up later this afternoon to golf.

I'm looking forward to this afternoon's outing. This morning he suggested going to our old favorite restaurant, but it's too expensive on Sundays - hence the pizza. But it'll be nice to go out in public with him and see how that flies. Aside from court and mediation, it'll be the first time we're out together in a public place since March 2009 - holy cow!

As for the planning, Mr. A had suggested on Thursday that we go to the driving range. I suggested this morning that we go regular golfing instead, and he agreed. I said, since you have to go to the party now, should I look up someplace for us to go this afternoon? He said that would be great, so I'm going to do that. I'm expecting him to call me when he's done with the party around 3 or 4. Perfect timing for twilight rates!
