H (and assistant) came by yesterday so H could help with a couple of chores requiring some muscle and I cooked his favorite meal in exchange.
The evening was okay but a little unsettling. I felt sometimes like I was on the outside looking in because H and assistant would talk about things (unimportant, everyday kind of stuff) that I knew nothing about. I felt like assistant had replaced me as the best friend and she knew more about what was going on in H's life than I did. Of course she would since she works with him all the time and I make it a point not to pry, but I sure didn't like having it in my face like that. I actually began to wonder if H was deliberately trying to make me feel uncomfortable. But he'll never get the satisfaction of knowing he did if that was his intent.
H also started talking about something he and his friends over there were going to do that sounded pretty much like something a bunch of frat brothers would do in college. I guess I didn't show the proper enthusiasm about all the fun he was going to have because the more he talked about it, the less he sounded enthused. I just couldn't play along with that one. I kept thinking that he never would have done such a thing pre-MLC and couldn't believe he thought it would be fun to make a fool of himself in public. I guess he has a lot more baking to do!
I haven't heard from him today and have enjoyed a peaceful day to recharge for the coming week. That's 5 full days without hearing the "speech." 10 days to go!
