T, I know how hard it is when they are still at home. It does get easier with time.

I am glad you are enjoying things more.

As far as your h not coming right home. It is an internal conflict for him. I know too bad, so sad for him, right? LOL!

But it is. Home represents two different things for them, so they are conflicted.

And he is even more conflicted seeing life go on regardless of what he is doing.

And yep, they make plans for the future. Again their inner conflict.

Take it with a grain of salt.

He's got a ways to go and is not quite done baking.

You, however, are doing great!
