Tomorrow is a New Day

[hopefulinga]

My phone interactions with H continue to be positive, upbeat and encouraging.

I sent him a text on our way to the dinner telling him we'd call when we left. We called at the intermission because D16 wanted to stay until the end. He told her he would call right back because he was in the middle of something. He did call back, but the show had started. We left the room to take the call. She talked to him for a few minutes and gave the phone to me, and he told me a little about his day, but to go back to the dinner and call him in the am.

I called him when I got up and he was eating. He told me he would call me back which he did. I asked about what they had planned for the day.

We talked a little bit about the potential purchase. I asked him to please call me before he bought anything and he said I did call you yesterday and let you know. I told him I was appreciative of that, but I meant when he pulled the trigger. We talked a little bit about the pros and cons of what he was doing.

He said they were getting ready to ride, so I told him to enjoy the day and that I was glad he was able to get away and have such a good time. He is making new friends on this trip as well.

These interactions are like the old days. I had happiness in my voice when we spoke and he did as well. His voice is also soft and kind. I am making an effort to listen to what he is saying and to not interrupt and ask questions.

D16 and I enjoyed the dinner, although she was pretty cranky when we left because she was tired. I hope that we can go as a family next year. Actually, I'd like to take one of our dogs to perform, but H isn't too sure how a beer seeking dog would go over.

I'm going to try to work some today and then the cleaning people are coming over. I may meet up with some friends later. Otherwise, I will try to figure out what D and I are going to do.
