Oh Snodderly trust me I would have LOVED to have a video of him using my toothbrush and the look that followed the realization! LOL No, my prairie dog doesn't bark warnings, well lately anyway! But he sure does act strange! grin

mrsrjd~ I did NOT know about the vacuums, but I am STILL laughing about the MLC version!!!! LOL The mental picture is priceless! Thank you for that! grin

updates~H has been, like I said before, acting more distant, I guess he's trying to put more space between us so he can keep me in the "enemy" bubble and justify his bad behavior, because oh yes there is still bad behavior! lol

We did get a Christmas tree at Lowe's yesterday after I got home from working for my dad. He didn't help pay for it like he said he would. I didn't say anything. He was nice enough to drive. Which again, during this car ride, no turn signals, and he was driving like a crazy person.... oh wait.... I suppose that would be the appropriate way for him to drive right now! I didn't say a word about anything, the only comment I made was about a random cat in a field, and the beauty of the sunset.

At Lowe's he kept his distance. Any time I asked him about anything to do with the tree selection his answers were all, "It's up to you. It's your tree, etc" At one point I said, "Well it will be in the living room so you will have to look at it too." I was nice about it, not snippy or anything. I also said I wanted a tree that looks nice so I would hope he would speak up if he thought one of the ones I was looking at looked stupid. He seemed like he was trying not to be interested, like he was holding himself back on purpose during this whole tree shopping adventure.

When we got it home he had me get the little trimmer and he showed me which branches to take off. He brought it into the house and got it all set up in the tree stand. Even made sure it wasn't leaning. smile

Then he retreated to watch tv downstairs. I went down to do some laundry and told him he didn't have to watch tv down there. He said, "I figured you would start decorating the tree and I didn't want to be in the way." I told him I was going to take his advice and wait until tomorrow to let the tree fan back out to where it should be, (All the trees at Lowe's had the branches squished up, I asked them about this, they said when they get in the house they will go back down, so we shall see). I went on to add even if I was decorating he wouldn't be in the way.

Later that evening he was in his room and I saw him take a small paper bag from between some of his clothes and put it on the bookshelf. Later I noticed it was gone. I don't know what the heck all the hiding is about, gift for a work whore perhaps? IDK. I'm thinking he hid it because he couldn't leave it in the car because I was going to be in it, so then he had to put it back in the car. Wow, being crazy seems to be a lot of work, one would think dealing with ones actual issues would be easier in the long run, but what do I know... Oh and he's hiding receipts again....

After all that, he randomly came back here while I was trying to get itunes to work and said, " I just wanted to let you know that Celebrity Ghost Stories show you like is on." Strange. I said, "ok, thank you, I'm trying to get itunes to work, it just downloaded the new version." He said, "Well I saw it was on and thought I would tell you when I came through." He later made some comment about the new itunes version might be too much for the computer cause it's old. I think I said ok, or thanks to both comments IDK, because at that point I was thinking WTH? He's like Katy Perry's song Hot n Cold! LOL

This morning I did look at his phone, haven't done that in a long time. He left texts on there from a male co-worker. Which I always assume when he leaves texts on there is wants me to see them to make me angry, because I bet he thinks I'm always looking at his phone, which jokes on him, I'm not. Anyway, I don't know if this co-workers wife is stupid or a whore or both, but the texts were about the work Christmas party.

The co-worker said to H something about if he (as in H) springs for a hotel room they can all share (so H, male co-worker, his W and some female co-worker I never heard of who apparently likes this male co-worker, confused yet??) H said he hadn't decided if he was going to attend yet and H made some comment about taking co-workers W as a date instead of the female co-worker. Male co-worker said something about his W being excited about the 4 of them sharing a room. Reading these texts just astounds me. People sure are stupid, and I'm tired of being treated disposable. AND how is THIS "working through stuff" and "trying to make things right"????

The other thing that makes me want to smack the crap out of male co-worker and his W is they sit in church Sunday morning and pretend to be people of God, last I checked adultery was a BIG no, no. Not to mention all the pics of half naked women they text back and forth. Oh I should mention I went to high school with male co-worker, he's a couple of years younger than me, and back in high school had dated a good friend of mine. I don't know male co-worker well or anything, he's quite immature (clearly). Actually before MLC he annoyed the crap out of H mostly.

Oh the up side, no anxiety for me, no anger really either. Shaking head at stupidity oh hell yes!

Here's what I did after H got out of the shower and got ready to go to his match (it's the charity one, toys for kids, which I did get two toys and give to him for it). I walked out to the kitchen and said, "Have fun at the toy match today. I hope they get lots of toys for the kids." He thanked me and thanked me again for getting toys. I said you're welcome, anytime. At this point he walked into the living room. I said, " I wanted to thank you again for all of your help with the Christmas tree, I really appreciate it." He said it's no big deal (his usual line). I told him again I really appreciated it and that it meant a lot to me. I asked before I hugged him. Which he tried not to hug me back, but I said something about it not being a real hug and he hugged me back. We were looking at the tree and he said it was starting to look better. I said maybe by this evening I could start decorating it, and perhaps he could help me get the lights around it. He didn't say anything to that. I told him to have a good day, and to try and stay warm. He said it's supposed to be in the 50's today. I said that's good, and then said be safe. He said thanks have a good one. I thanked him and headed back the hallway.


So WTH is a girl supposed to think??? Is he "working on stuff" as he claimed on Thanksgiving, or does he just think I'm really really stupid??
