Back to Square One?

Thank you so much, MKB, Tori, SK, and Tumbling for dropping by. It's so nice to log on and get your feedback and advice. You really feel as if you're on my support team. Thank you

I'm still amazed at how often you guys manage to update. I must be doing something wrong in my life not to be finding the time. Here are some of my recent activities. S17 had 6 friends over here for dinner last night so that took a fair amount of organising as our oven had broken down. In fact, trying to sort out the oven (an old-fashioned storage oven has taken hours and hours). I had to ferry chicken wings etc.. from my sister's. I took S13 swimming today. Saw a friend this afternoon, did house errands and bought food. Hung out a bit with D15 after her netball tournament. Talked with S13's carer. I'm trying to sort out temporary housing (in my brother's flat) for one of S13's carers who is having terrible marital troubles. It's nothing very exciting but it all takes up time. H did pick D15 up from her tournament and then went to a football game with my nephew. That's about the extent of his activities!

The moustache party is 24 Nov so not for a couple of weeks. Thanks for asking, Tumbling. I've yet to get an answer from H about what time we need to leave home.

PA still seems so far away... I did notice last night though that he doesn't seem to be sleeping so close to his side of the bed anymore. He comes a bit closer to my side. That is barely a baby step though. At one point last night, I was crouched down on the kitchen floor trying to light the pilot light on our oven and he snapped my underwear (my trousers had ridden down a bit so it was visible). It seemed a bit playful and out of character compared to how he's been recently. Tiny baby step?

Today wasn't great in that he was very short with me over an IT question I was asking him. I said, why are you being so aggressive about answering my question. He said because you know the answer and you're just being lazy. I didn't know the answer and felt annoyed because he's clueless 1000 times a day. In fact, at 10 am he asked how D15 was getting to netball. I said, as calmly as possible, that she'd left at 7 am in a mini-cab. How could someone supposedly intelligent be out to lunch so much of the time?

He and I did have supper together tonight (D15 and S17 were both at parties and S13 had been fed by carer earlier) but he did his thing of just getting up and leaving the table when he'd finished. I end up sitting alone in the kitchen finishing my meal. It just seems so rude and inconsiderate. He did suggest we watch The Good Wife but again leapt up and was out of the room in a flash the second it was finished. I hate how he runs out and 'abandons' me. He did call out to me a bit of current affairs news while I was still eating and he was back on his laptop in his study. He can be so narcissistic.
