I hope he picked up the dog. In the future, please do not rely on him for anything. They way that they will do things and then they don't or they are late doing them. Thank goodness kitty sitter was there to tend to both of them for a bit.
As for the ice cream deal, well...you have to decide what you will put up with. I wouldn't allow that kind of behavior since he's not living there and especially twirling your brand new chair around. I would have had to stop that action pretty quick. Take the cake, plate and fork away from him. You no longer have a diner or ice cream shop.
He will only get worse before he gets better. Do what you need to do to protect your heart and emotions.
Sit quietly, the answers will reveal themselves when you least expect them to. The past is gone, the present is a gift and you need to focus on today, allow the future to reveal itself when it is ready.
