The past week or so has been somewhat interesting. I'll start today and work back. I needed someone to file something for me in a town that is 45 minutes each way. I asked H if he knew of anyone who could do that for me. Guess who volunteered? I've been busting my tail over the past 2 weeks at work, long hours, etc., but I'm still surprised he did this for me. I thanked him and told him how much it helped me out.

My mom is getting married in Nov. I sent H an email and told him he was invited, but if he didn't want to go, I understood. D said something to H about it over the weekend and H said he is planning on going. My mom lives in PA and H has a newphew he's never met. I didn't react or say anything further.

Every night H has thanked me for dinner and told me how good it is, even when it is tacos.

Even with all of this, I have been able to keep expectations low. I think I am doing well at detaching, or else I am so busy, I don't have time to think about it.

H went somewhere on Sunday that D and I have been to with him for the past few years. D didn't want to go, and I didn't push her to go so that we could be with him. That is a 180 for me. I usually would push to go so that we could be together as a family.

These are some of the bigger items that stand out.

I haven't heard back on my loan application. I tried to GAL with some friends on Saturday, but the plans fell through. We're going to try again. Otherwise, I've been working too hard to GAL after my 3 day seminar. And I start teaching again this week, so I am plenty buy right now.
