"homework" from job - Hi Job, thank you

[Pudmuddle]

Yeah, BF, I didn't really know why he was down, just wishful thinking that it was AW chapping his hide.

Thanks Angela, I just feel so good now that I have released myself from his emotions. It is truly freeing! I know you can do this too, it just takes time to heal.

This morning I came downstairs, got some coffee and breakfast and was sitting in living room watch tv. H came upstairs and noticed both of the dogs were sitting on my lap. He then walked over and showed me how one of the dogs had shed all over his sweatshirt. Kind of trying to make light chatter. H also said " I wish I had the hair dog sheds all over me" He is slightly balding. I chuckled. He left the room.

Then later he came up and explained in detail what he was going to be doing this morning. Going to the motorcyle store to pick up some parts, then out to friend's house where he stores his rusted out '55 chevy, explaining the tarp had come off so he needed to retarp it. He also mentioned he'd asked S if he wanted to go and S said Yeah that's ok. It was almost like he was asking or seeking my approval the way he said it. I said "ok, sounds good".

Interesting.

I then left the room and went upstairs to my bedroom to read for a bit while S and H were taking showers. I didn't expect H to come up and say goodbye...but he did. He asked if I was going to take dog out for our daily jog. I said 'Yeah, it's a nice day out, so yeah'. I had mentioned earlier downstairs how stinky dog was. So H said 'I'll wash the dog later so I'll wait til you have done that'. I said 'ok, great!'

So he actually paid attention (and remembered!!!) something I had said earlier and took some action on it. Huh.

Count the small positives, I guess.

Hey Underdog, if you're reading this, I got the book from Ford that you recommended and am starting to read it today! Found it on my Kindle for only 8 bucks. Also, isn't it nice and beautiful outside today? Since we had snow and cold yesterday? gotta love this state
