Hey Nik,

Thanks for visiting my post, too. I love this mutual ciber-support stuff here on the BB.

Just a quick update: H called early this am, woke me up! He had left a voicemail yesterday....didn't ask me to call back, so I didn't!! H asked brief questions about our kids, his sis that I saw last week-end. Then he mentioned coming here Sun, cuz S will be here part of the day. I said that would work out well. He then mentioned that maybe he would come out Sat...see the dog (?), catch up on things without S around, etc. Asked if I had plans on Sat. I said "not so far, and that might work out fine"....then he said, well if something comes up for either one of us we can play Sat by ear. I said, "Yeah, let's just wing it." He then told me a bit about work stuff...possible changes. I comenserated...and agreed like a friend. That was all. He said, "I've tried to call a few times (he doesn't leave messages for the most part) and you've been quite busy since you got home Monday. I said, "Yup...keeping busy with work, friends, and just catching up on things."

Thought I handled that pretty well, (and without my fix of morning coffee!!)

It's hard doing this detachment, friend-thing....but I'm giving it all I got.

We'll see if anything materializes Sat or not.

Thanks for keeping up with me.
