Aiming for the PMA of a glow worm....

[Not Quitting]

Well H turned up this morning as early as expected - he sent me a text yesterday afternoon to say he would be here no later than 8am or possibly earlier. I didn't see the text for a good three hours, and then simply responded "K".

The plan was for him to take our son to his place for the day, and yesterday we had sorted out a box of Lego to be taken to H's place. Anyway, H decided that he wanted to hang out at our place for the day instead - hmmmm ?? And there were no b$&chy comments about my dad at all today either. I had a couple of errands to run and H said he was coming along with me, and while we were out he bought brunch.

My niece and her boyfriend turned up unexpectedly and visited for a while. H was friendly - not standoffish like he is with my oldest nephew or either of my sisters. Might have just been playing nice so as not to cause a scene, but I actually saw the old H while my niece was here.

He had asked if I would give him a buzz cut this weekend - he's in the Legion and they've got Remembrance Day ceremonies next week so he needs to look neat and tidy. I took the opportunity for a little physical contact - hand on shoulder while doing the buzz cut. He didn't react, which is a good thing - he didn't flinch and pull away.

And once again, when it came time for him to leave he seemed to be reluctant. He managed to put a slight dampener on the day by making a comment about what happened to his dinner yesterday when "someone forgot to take it out of her freezer". Although it was almost like he felt obliged to make some kind of comment to make things less comfortable than they had been all day.
