Thank you T!!! And thank you for the advanced happy birthday wishes!
A bit of updating, yesterday was interesting. I was having one of those not really able to get it together emotional moments, and I don't even know why (maybe it has something subconscious to do with my birthday on Tuesday). Lots of tears, wasn't going to go to church, but I had to, I had to turn in my Christmas Child box.
I hate crying in front of people, but I was still teary at church. I saw my pastor as I walked in and told him I was having a hard time keeping it together, he took me aside and prayed for me right there, I thought that was nice. Then he walked me in and had me sit in the pew with him and his wife. I was finally able to pull it together enough to get through the service.
My dear friend came over later and she let me vent. Every now and then reminding me H is crazy right now. LOL We had decided to go hiking at the old turnpike tunnels again, we love it there. Somewhere in that decision we decided we would hike it in it's entirety and back.... which is 17 miles.... great plan.
During our hike my mom texted me and bailed on our shopping trip for today for my birthday (which was her idea, and I had really been looking forward to) with an excuse I didn't think sounded all that true, anyway...I was really bummed about that, and was already in a crappy mood, so I did a bit more venting and apologized to my friend saying I feel like I should be over this already (meaning H's shenanigans) and be done crying. She stops in the middle of the trail, looks all serious and says, "Oh my God Heather you are human!", and pretends to look shocked, it got us both laughing, which is what I needed, and point made.
We had a great time on our hike, in retrospect though it was probably really a bad idea and very dangerous thing to be doing seeing as how we didn't get back to the car until 8:30 and with the short days it gets dark by like 5:30......don't worry, we've already talked to ourselves about the potential dangers (raped, murdered, eaten by a bear....).
On our way back home I told her I forgot to turn the porch light on, I always freaking do that, not a big deal, but would have been nice to be able to see my way to the door. Well when we pulled up to the house H had actually turned the porch light on for me, that was a nice surprise.
As I was walking up to the door I stopped, I couldn't believe it, H had actually taken down the remaining Halloween decorations!!! He was watching the Walking Dead when I hobbled into the house. I think he may have been a bit annoyed that I wasn't there watching it with him (gotta eat that cake I suppose). I thanked him for turning on the porch light and taking down the decorations. He acted like it was no big deal. He then told me they were replaying the episode at 10 if I wanted to watch it. I told him there was no way I could stay awake that long. He said well they will repeat it before the new episode next week. I thanked him for letting me know.
Later he asked if I was ok, I said yeah, I just can't walk and laughed, he asked me if I was drunk! I told him I wasn't and said I had been hiking, and told him how far and partially in the dark. He seemed really annoyed by that. Oh gee can't show we care.
At the next commercial break he came back and asked where we had been hiking. I told him. He then asked if that was through the tunnels (which I have told him before it was) I said yeah, through two of the old one's. He looked really displeased and made a comment about that not being very safe. I told him we knew that, and already yelled at ourselves.
The one other thing that I found interesting was Saturday evening I had asked him if I could use the easy pass for the turnpike and he actually asked where I was going. I told him King of Prussia. He didn't ask anything else, I'm sure he realized in was for the mall. That kind of through me off, he never really just comes right out and asks me where I'm going anymore, usually just fishes for information. Strange. But then again what isn't these days!
Anyway, still going shopping today without mom, my dear friend said she would go with me. Which is nice, it's such a long drive!
