Finding nuggets of gold on this Great Big Hill

[Pudmuddle]

Hi all, nothing new to report really in my mlc land.

Ang, MM, that's what grandmas are for! Awesome life advice. I really don't worry as much as I used to, but something like this that throws you for a loop is a test of that!

Ttd, attach away!

Things have been quietly interesting, lol.

My H had to have a colonoscopy the other day (because his younger bro had intestinal cancer) and he was 'suffering' the night before because he had to drink all that fabulous liquid medicine for the test. S and I joked with him all night about how he couldn't eat and how starving he was, he really took it all in good stride and was laughing at the things we said. Even made a few jokes about it himself. He had mentioned that night too how he thought a Five Guys burger sounded SO AWESOME.

So the next day his mom was the chauffeur for his back and forth (He didn't ask me, stung a little that he wouldn't ask his W, then I was over it that quickly too) trip. After he came home texted me that he was on his way home and that he would be sleeping off the meds. I said 'Glad it's over for you and put dogs in the cages so they won't bother you when you sleep'.

On my way home from work, I picked him up a Five Guys burger. I did this not because I was trying to get on his good side or because I wanted him to think better of me. I did it because...I WANTED TO! After I got home and he opened it up, he had a look of awe on his face and said 'Thank you for the burger that was SO thoughtful of you!' I said' Oh, you're welcome' and just stayed in my spot leaning on the counter. He actually walked over and gave me a BIG hug. That was so nice, he did it on his own too, no prompting from me.

Then yesterday, S and H had a karate belt test, so I showed up there after work, to support them. They both passed and tradition is he and S go out for ice cream afterwards. I usually don't go because I am not a huge ice cream fan. So I headed home to check on our dogs. When I got there H's personal cell was on the kitchen counter! Out in plain view. I was shocked only because it has been attached to his hip for the past 6 months...

He never would have let that out of his sight before. Guess what? I did not touch it. At all. And, it didn't bother me to see it sitting there, although I was surprised.

He really hasn't been out at nights or weekends the past 3 weeks now and he has not been on his phone at all while at home. And if he has been he has told me who he has been texting. Usually friends or karate friends for info. That's it. While I don't believe he has stopped 'seeing' Floormop, I do believe there has been some slow-down or something.

I am still awaiting to see what his Christmas plans might be with that...person. And the point I am at, I don't care but am curios to see what happens next. It's like watching a reality tv show now. Laugh at the people who think they deserve a tv reality show, lol. We already have plans to go over to his mother's house on Christmas day, so S and I have a place to go!

Also, now that my S has his driver's license, S asked H if he could drive the personal van (since H has work van). H had told him 'Sure, because I'm not using it'. This was the van that was HIS car after BD and what he drove to FM's house. That little tidbit again made me wonder and think Hmmmmm, intereeeeeesting...

Little nuggets of gold in them thar hills!

Meanwhile, I am doing my own thing, organizing Holiday stuff, giving gently used toys to a charity and making some pies for Christmas day. Going out with friends tonight, people from work I really love to be around. So I be good right now.
