So...at home with a sick daughter and reading as much as I can. Doorbell rang a while ago and it was a bylaw officer saying that trees the former home owners had planted around a bus stop in front of our house need to be removed. So I texted my H and he replied immediately (instead of the usual 30-60 minute delay) to say that he would come over tomorrow after work to take care of it. I just about fell out of my chair. This from a man who a few weeks ago told me he couldn’t give a crap about mowing our lawn? A man who hates to be bothered with anything that looks like home maintenance unless it is his idea? To say that I was surprised and pleased would be an understatement. Anyway...I stayed totally cool. Thanked him for his help and asked him to let me know if he needed me to do anything to help him. He responded “okay” with a smiley face attached. Odd what seems like a big deal in this new reality of mine. Makes things interesting, I suppose.
