Uncharted Waters

[2Times2Many]

Thanks, Job. He'd stay in the guest room. We haven't slept in the same bed for nearly 3 years. I think I'd be okay with him staying here mostly because I've been on my own for so long that I don't know if I could live with someone again and want to figure that out. It would also give me an opportunity to get a better gauge on where his head is.

He did give me a baby step this weekend. He called this morning without any kind of prompting from me. He told me on our "office call" on Friday that he might call on Sunday and I replied that I'd love that. He called.

But I think he lied about his plans for his evening. I know his pattern and I texted something related to our phone convo and didn't get a quick answer. Not the usual for "staying home on my own" behavior. Who knows.

H will be back in about 10 days.

As for me, I haven't posted in a while. My son and his family were here last weekend. The grandkids wore me out. My S did some grilling for all of us and fixed one of my favorite appetizers. It was a treat for me.

I finished up my laser facials a couple of weeks ago and am pleased with the results. The esthitician (spelling?) wants me to do the needling thing next. I don't know much about that process so will check into it. I have to admit it's really nice to hear people you haven't seen in a while say you look great.

Last night was girl's out night to see "Tarzan." All of us are big Alexander Skaarsgard fans, so we were anxious to see him play Tarzan. Lots of fun.

BIL was off half of last week and most of next week. YEAH! A whole different dynamic at the office. I think H is beginning to see the problems there. When he was here last time he said he understood what I've been trying to tell him and recently asked my opinion about BIL's performance. I gave it to him but made sure to preface it with a disclaimer that I found it hard to objectively critique him because he isn't a "normal" employee.

My sister is home and is having issues with her H. She wanted me to be her health advocate because she didn't like what her H was saying about putting her in a nursing home because one of her many doctors said she needed to do that(she doesn't need that). I have some concerns about the Dr. as he told my BIL exactly what "home" she needed to be in. I'm thinking kick-backs. I feel for her and want to do what I can, but there is no way I want to between her and her H. We'll see how that goes.

MIL is doing well but is reluctant to get out of bed. I think she's afraid of falling again and just wants to "feel" safe.

I haven't heard from my D in the past week, but she's read the material I guided her to. SIL posted of bunch of pics of the possible OW on facebook and gave her some "innocent" excuse about it. She didn't buy it.

My S and DIL saw the pics and brought it up when they were here. I didn't violate my Ds confidence, but they have it figured out.

KML, my Ds kids are all teenagers or preteens. I think that given custody issues, they would be able to say who they prefer to live with and the court would take that into account. I could be wrong. In any case, none of them would choose to live with my SIL. He's a hothead and has an extremely short fuse. They walk on eggshells with him. And I don't think he would want custody ... maybe visitation, but not custody.

So that's my latest in a nutshell.

Hope everyone is having a great 4th!
