How could I forget to mention that when I explained to H that I might have made different plans for the evening if I had known he weren't coming, he asked, "What plans? What would you do?" It's a no win kind of question, because I either have am too dependent on him for my plans or I he is an inconvenience to me. The truth is that I prefer to spend my evenings with H when I can, and when I can't I make other plans. Rarely, I make plans with other people or to work late. Most times I plan to tackle projects on the house, which usually means I need to make sure I have all of the tools/supplies ready to start.

Probably the biggest annoyance, though, is that except for weekends, I only eat one meal per day... When H is around, I prefer to eat dinner with him, even though I'm starving by the time we eat. When H is not around I have lunch, which keeps me from being hungry in the evening and saves me from having to interupt my projects to cook. When H called me after lunch it meant that I didn't have time to put together an impromptu project nor could I get lunch. I can hear him now accusing himself of being the incovenience that leads me to eat when I don't want to et cetera. Yeah, I should divorce him over his crazy habit of eating dinner. Ha!

Well, he just called and wants to come over now. Maybe more craziness later. --z
