And since I'm here, I guess I should update my own stuff. There is nothing to update! I wrote out my writing assignment for Mr. Wonderful, intending on leaving it in the dashboard of his car.
I saw a double rainbow all the way home last night. The inner rainbow was as clear as one my D10 could have drawn. I felt it was a sign of sorts, and promised myself to consider what I was feeling before I did anything about the essay request.
Well, I got home and he had mowed and edged the lawn and was working on the motor home--preparing it for a trial run this weekend to see what is working and what isn't, since it's not been used in 2 years. He looked tired and a little agitated.
I elected not to do anything with it. My instincts tell me he's struggling right now--and my guess is that Mother's Day is this weekend and he's without one for the first time.
As it turns out, he came inside a few minutes later. I was in the kitchen, getting stuff ready for dinner and he fired up the grill for the pork chops. He stood in the kitchen with me and we talked for 15 minutes straight. I guess his self-directed sabbatical from me was clearly not something he wanted in the long run... and to answer one of my colleague's questions, he expressed being impressed with my weight loss and seemed really thrilled for me. (Down 22, 11 to go)
I'll figure this out with a little more time and energy....
