I bagged the trip to NJ because I felt my stress level was just too high. Slept in and wandered around my empty house, watched some movies that made me feel better, and just waited out my malaise. Now I'm sitting in Annapolis waiting for S14's camp to let out.
H is as usual incommunicado on his trip to UT. I didn't know when he arrived OK, or how he's been doing. But we got an email from the scouts warning that there was a case of lice at camp, and I got an instant email from H "You need to shave S12's head. I can't believe they let a kid with lice go to camp." Hello honey. I wrote back with S12's response - he didn't go near the hammock city where the lice case was, nothing touched his head other than his hat and his sleeping bag, and we don't see anything in his already buzz-cut hair, so we think he's fine, signed Love, all of us. And a PS about a gas leak we had that got repaired.
I used to try to control H by asking him to contact us when he was away, by reaching out to contact him, and by getting upset when he didn't seem interested in talking to us. He always acted like talking on the phone to me was actually painful, and he often hung up while I was still talking, if I paused too long; he was just so anxious to get off the phone. It wasn't until I heard him chitchat on the phone with others that I resented this. I see so many people on these message boards who actually like and want to check in with their spouses now and then. I would like that for me too.
