Feeling stronger than ever

[mleigh4]

I am now convinced that MLC brings on memory loss. There are several things in need of repair around our home that H is famous for starting on, but not finishing. TONS! H is the worst with this. So I decided finally to hire a handyman to come out and do a few things. I mentioned this to H a couple of weeks ago, even told him to let me know if he thinks of anything for him to do. So, last night, I let H know the handyman will be here tomorrow morning. H says "Handyman!! For what? What are you going to have him do?". So I told H my list, just a few things, one of them being a window shade we have for a huge window in our foyer, that has been sitting there in the corner after being taken down to paint our walls 2 years ago. H says, "I can do that!". I said, "Well, it's been there for 2 years....." with a smile! We laughed, but he seemed to be.....I don't know..... frazzled? Hurt? That I was taking care of this without him. I also let him know the cabinet guy was coming out next week to refinish our kitchen cabinets, another project that has been on the back burner for YEARS! Got the same reaction from H.

So handyman comes this morning and there was 1 issue with a light switch that I figured I better run by H, since he seemed to feel so out of the loop last night. So I text H with my question, he answers that he can fix this himself today. Really? All of a sudden he has the time? Isn't he working all day? WTH? I just told him, let's let the handyman handle it since he is already there, that I know H is busy and to not worry about it. With another happy face.

Did I handle that ok? H seems so uninterested with anything to do with home, so I am handling it myself, and now he is feeling hurt? Almost makes me feel guilty. Almost.
