That little engine that will ...

[MeMyselfandI]

So, another update. I wrote to H this morning and clearly stated my concerns regarding pulling D out of her current program. I was very matter of fact about the whole thing and even brought up my concerns about late night hockey rink times in a non-agressive manner. Well, lo and behold, he agreed with pretty much everything and thought that he had jumped the gun a bit. Backed off totally and told me he would let me know how the meetings with the teacher went tomorrow but did day that he agreed that with a bit more focus, we can get her through the year successfully.

So, of course, with me, there is always a then ... then comes a message on my phone. It's the contractor who was supposed to install a new garage door for me ... two months ago. They are at my house to deliver the door but can't get in. DUH! No one is at my house right now. So, I call the company, (you have to keep in mind that we live in a fairly small community in Northern Canada, about 80 kms from where the "ice road" starts for my southern readers who have heard of ice road truckers) and I let them know that I am not in town and no one is in the house right now. I explain that I can call my ex and he can move my vehicle out of the garage and give them access, here is his name and phone number and I will have him contact you when he gets a chance. Of course, at this point, I'm assuming I will be have a chance to call H and ask him if he doesn't mind ... but alas, I sent him a message saying I have one more huge favour to ask and he writes back ... Just talked to him, all if good, don't worry about it, I will look after it. I joked and said that I had hoped to have the chance to ask him first to which he responded, don't worry about it, you know I would do it anyway. I responded, that I knew he would but it would have been nice for me to be able to ask before some random guy just called him out of the blue. We both laughed and joked about it.

Anyway, he has looked after everything at my house the last few days and I haved joked on text that I will have to repay him "somehow". There has been some flirting but also some good communication that has been about many different things. He is all over the map and I'll get a chance to put it down at some point ... but maybe it's not all relevant. Point is, communication is improving, I'm not initiating most and he seems to be somewhat coherent at this point. We will see what the weekend holds with his "friend" coming in from out of town, but so far, he has already committed to doing some work at my place this weekend and he does have the kids all weekend!
