Mnky- I've never known the words "too nice" when it comes to birthdays that's what I was struggling with: to be my authentic self and be generous like I want to be, or pull back b/c it might make him uncomfortable... I went with option A and it didn't backfire (yet).
Vero- I've always given thoughtful gifts. This time was a little different because he didn't say he wanted one during a talk about birthdays, it was such a passing statement he probably didn't think I heard him. And I think if you listen carefully when people mumble or talk to themselves, you can find some helpful information.
BF: a hampster camp out sounds perfect!! Right now I'm just trying to figure out how to burn off some of S6's energy. It's been raining all day and we've been cooped up in our hamster house- and they are driving me nuts!
H played in the garage and his truck for a few hours (his truck looks like he's been living in it- there's clothes and trash everywhere!) We all had lunch together and it felt like a 'normal' Saturday would have been before te bomb. I wandered outside a few times and asked about what he was doing- he talked with me for a little bit, but nothing exciting. He left to "go out" a little while ago. He told me to leave the chain off the door (which means he's planning to sleep here). He also left his backpack here- which is VERY unusual. I joke with him that he has a bigger purse than me! This backpack goes EVERYWHERE with him (even before the bomb) but since then, he's never left it anywhere that I might go through it.... Temptation/curiosity is growing!
