Albuquerque living part 2: Road to recovery?

[Albuquerque]

Update,

This last week, H has been a lot more out of touch than he has been the last month. He had planned to be out of town Thursday through Sunday at a town a few hours away for his job. I knew he was leaving town Wednesday evening. Other than a very brief text on Wednesday morning I didn't hear from him at all. I admit, it concerned me slightly since I had sent him an email asking him to call when possible because I had an insurance issue I needed to discuss with him. Since he had said on Monday that he planned to end his R with the OW, I had to wonder if that was finally happening. By Thursday morning I was still concerned but refrained from contacting him. Late Thursday morning he called me and sounded OK but frazzled. He said that the previous day had been very bad from an anxiety standpoint and he had to take several drugs to keep himself OK and I guess he didn't want to talk. I didn't ask if there was a reason. We chatted for a few more minutes as he drove in to the office and got caught up with a few things but then he had to go. Again, I heard nothing from him the whole day. I texted him once in the evening, just asking how he was doing, and got no response. Friday was much the same. I got a brief text in the morning but didn't hear a whole lot more. Friday afternoon, we managed to chat for a bit longer and he sounded better, although he mentioned that he really needed a Xanax refill. He was on his way to dinner with coworkers but said he would catch up with me at some point and discuss the craziness of the previous days. Not completely sure what that means. Conjecture is pretty much pointless, but I can't help myself from hoping that it means he had to tell the OW goodbye. I guess time will tell.

As for me, things are still good. Still progressing in my pole dancing classes and loving it. H continues to be intrigued by my descriptions but I haven't felt he deserved to have any sort of private performance yet. D and I tried our hands at skeet shooting today. D tried to back out at the last minute because the rifle was a bit scary looking, but I kind of forced the issue and am glad I did. She ended up doing much better than me and I thought it was a fun adventure. This weekend we'll be gearing up for a camping trip we have planned next weekend. In addition, unbeknownst to H, I bought 2 tickets to a concert in a few weeks being put on by one of his favorite guitarists. I've already arranged to have D spend the night at her friends house so that we have no childcare issues and can spend a quiet night alone together. It's in about a month so I'm hoping H will wrap everything up with OW by then and this "date" can actually take place. If not, then I figured I'd sell the tickets and still enjoy a night without D and do something fun. I'm certainly hoping for the first option.
