Hi snodderly,

That's great. I'm glad you're healing well.

Would you believe the normal turnaround time for a repair from this company is 2-3 weeks? We have a service protection plan which H purchased it two years ago. I am very grateful that it isn't the washer that's broken.

H went to the laundromat yesterday to use the dryers because air drying is causing him awful wrinkles in his clothes. He made a face when I asked him how the laundromat was as far as cleanliness.

Journaling:

H was off work yesterday, but gone running errands for several hours.

I went out to lunch yesterday with a friend. H was gone when I left, but returned home when I was gone to bring clean laundry to the house.

Then he left again. He didn't ask where I had been. I didn't ask where he had been. Some of the errands he ran were for me, so I thanked him.

I'm worried about some things. D27 has been diagnosed with cervical cancer some weeks ago.

From what she told me, it seems to be in an early stage because cryosurgery was the recommended treatment, but she admitted that she really wasn't listening to the doctor after he said the word cancer.

She is very depressed about the breakup of her relationship with D2's father and didn't make the appointment until I insisted that she needed to get it taken care of before it turned into something more serious.

We don't live in the same state, and I'm worried about her. Normally, I would pour out my heart to H. Can't do that now.

I haven't said anything to H about it. H seems to have amputated her out of his life along with me, it's just that she isn't aware of it because they don't talk much. But he hasn't mentioned her name in a very long time, and hasn't asked anything about her. So I'm not sure what to do.

A strange thing also happened yesterday evening. H walked up to me and asked, "Do I feel like I have fever?"

My usual method of diagnosing fever is to put my cheek on his forehead.

No way was I going to do that.

I briefly put my ice cold hand on his forehead, and said I couldn't tell. Then I handed him a thermometer.

He actually did have a low grade fever.
