H has given me a few more good strokes. He's in AZ, closing up the details of selling his mother's house, and shipping the last of the stuff home. I was freaking a bit last night before he left, restless and couldn't sleep. Blamed it on the puppy's housebreaking mishaps. Didn't say anything to H.
Asked H to let me know if he was free for lunch as he left for work this AM, if not have a nice trip. Sent an email as well, saying good bye, keep in touch and be a "good boy". When he proposed going over the weekend alone, he ended the email saying he would be a "good boy". H did make it for lunch, and called as soon as he got out of the airport. My cell phone cut out, so he even left a message, and called back a third time to let me know his battery was dying. What a change from a year ago, when he changed his flights, and spent the time with OW. A friend has a girls' ski weekend, and last year I was afraid to let H have that much unsupervised time. This year, I would feel comfortable going. Nothing's for sure, but I am more relaxed than I expected to be.
