Camping in the adirondacks was awesome. Us girls got every thing accomplished that our spouses were so sure we could not do on our own. Very empowering and exciting and fun. No bears this year - phew!!!
While I was away, I had my H watch over my pets(2cats, a dog, and a goldfish). So I knew he would be stopping by my House regularly all weekend. He very nicely fixed my door handle that was loose and replaced it. He mowed my lawn and weedwacked for me. He replaced an old leaky outdoor hose knob/pipe. And he patched with mudd a hole in my bedroom ceiling. He did more this weekend then in a long time around the place we used to call home together. It was a nice surprise.
He was at my place when I returned and ordered us pizza and salads for dinner and we spent the evening together with out him drinking. He also didnt drink the night before I left and he offered me a ride to and from my trivia night with the gang. I feel like he actually missed me and was worried about me while I was gone.
Things have been pleasent with our peicing, I can see the wheels in his head spinning a lot. He seems to be slowing down his drinking behaviors lately, but not completely stopping. I think our conversation a few weeks back has got him thinking more and more about sobriety. I am not pushing it, but he is doing much better controlling it for now. I also feel like he is feeling guilty and down and out - kind of depressed and distant. But for now I am keeping my silence and patience and staying positive and peppy, as I have read many times suggested. TIPPER P.S. I have given up on that MC for now. She missed our 1st appointment and has not returned any of our calls. Wierd!!! But, if we can find a different good MC I am still open to the idea. I just dont want to push if for now - I feel things do happen for a reason.
