Peace, Happiness and a New Year

[mleigh4]

You all must be seeing something I don't see....I enjoyed the day very much and I know H enjoyed it too, but I don't see him giving up his freedom and single world anytime soon....

Yesterday he came over to pick up S. While here, he bolted down my new canopy because I have been worried about the weather lately. He also helped set up S weather station I got him for Christmas. He was very comfortable and taking his time. I in the meantime had to go feed my friends cat and wanted to go before dark because I had not been to her apartment yet and didn't want to be searching in the dark. I mentioned it a few times, but H was curled up on the couch playing on his phone and S was complaining he was hungry. Finally, I whipped up leftovers for them both and left asking H to please lock up. Lol. Like having 2 kids.

I fed the cats, went grocery shopping and came home. They were gone. I made myself dinner and watched a movie. I had a really nice quiet night and fell asleep early. Slept like a rock!

Question for you guys! On Christmas, H had told me that he had reached up to clean something high on the wall, leaned on his flat top stove, and cracked it! He said there was a crack across to whole stove, but that it still worked. We both have hated the white microwave and stove in my kitchen for a long time. It doesn't match the stainless steel fridge and black dishwasher I have. Soooooo, H asked if he could take mine to replace his, and pay 1/2 to replace mine with a new stove and microwave to match the other appliances. I jumped and said yes. He brought it up again yesterday, asked if I want to go to Lowe's and look at some soon. I again said yes...

Sounds like a good deal, right? The only thing tugging at me is that I want nothing to do with improving one little thing in that stupid dumpy house! Nothing! However, my son stays there, and a cracked stovetop may not be safe? And I make out well in the deal? Interested in what you think....

H also mentioned needing to get a generator because when his power goes out, the well pump does too and he has no water. He did a lot of complaining about the house he CHOOSES to live at. Reminded me of Hawho's H complaining about his dorm room!

So you see, I don't see so much hope of anything changing soon, other than H wanting us to all spend more time together and me struggling with wondering if he is reaching out to reconnect, or cake eating?
