Hi Al, I am reading, most probably more than I should be LOL.

Journaling
Just as my girls and I were heading out the door he turned up said a quick hello and kept going. the girls asked if he wanted to go but he refused although i did say I didn't think he would want to go to these markets (they are local).
He did refuse after asking which ones they were.

When we got home he was really quite chatty and asking me for a fair bit of help. And he stayed much later then he intended.
he got cranky with the car but I refused to take it personally as I would have done once.
I had a real Ah Ha moment, he is able to get cranky and I don't have to wear it. For some reason I always used to take it personally but not any more.

i kinda felt a little down thinking of all the times we went four wheel driving and camping in that car (4wd)
Something I enjoyed being a passenger in. And now I don't have the vehicle for it anyway. i tried to go camping as we have a camper trailer but it is too big and heavy for me to set up. So H has it at his place.

Maybe I could save up and by a caravan.

just a little flat tonight.
