Feeling he's in MLC, but in D process

[ciluzen]

Interesting note (to me, anyway) since I feel the need to journal here. I had a short text exchange with H yesterday (initiated by me) as one of our applinces quit working and repair person could only give me an arrival window that would interfere with work. H said he could be there (his day off). Discussion over.

H called later at night to ask what was wrong with appliance. Made it clear that he was only calling about that. He kind of kept hanging on phone so I then felt the need to tell him I had a nice talk with his parents, that they had called to wish me HB. He seemed surprised and needed to let me know that that was completely unprompted by him-they did it on their own. I just laughed and said it was nice. I ended the call as he seemed to start dragging it out. He was in one of his taking care of business moods. Kind of unemotional, tired, almost cross but not ready to initiate hanging up. His happy/friendly mask is off and he's not showing ANY emotion; like a shell. Just...blahhh. I never know what I'm going to get.
