Life keeps chugging along. I’ve been doing lots of re-organizing. Taking a hard look at all the junk we’ve hauled around from house to house that’s in our garage. Will I ever use a belt sander again? Or a circular saw? No. So, they will be sold. Purging, cleaning, re-organizing. Feels good.
Boxed up more of H’s stuff too. He hasn’t been at the house since several weeks before Christmas. Maybe not even since early November. I think he came once while I was at work, but I couldn’t be sure. He will be in for a big shock when he realizes how many “personal items” he has. Boxes, and boxes, and boxes.
Anyway…..On Wednesday, H messaged me saying when he changed phone services he lost his contacts, and asked me for the number of our therapist we saw before he moved out. Adding that he won’t necessarily see her, but maybe she has a referral. Now, you all know darn well he could have looked up that number himself. I guess he just wanted me to know he was going to seek out counseling. Or make me think he was. In any event, I gave him the information and did not add anything else.
He e-mailed me today and said “maybe we could meet near where you work, Friday after work? (same place as last time) again? To chat about this pension thing and anything else?
I haven’t responded yet. Last week he wanted me to discuss the pension with my attorney and make an offer. But also added that he didn’t want me to move so fast, that he still wanted to talk to me. He still doesn’t know what he wants. Each e-mail contradicts the next. We’ll see what unfolds on Friday. I will do my very best to let him drive the conversation. I will be clear, however, that the agreement is still in the cards, and he should have a draft soon.
I’m making a couple of loaves of bread today. It reminded me of my goals I wrote here 1 year ago. Learning how to make artisan bread (surprisingly easy!), and cleaning out a closet a month. Well, I did neither regularly, but I just now realized that this week I’ve done both of those things that I put down on paper a year ago. It struck me as a bit funny. Weird.
Feels good to be busy with just regular life activities. Just finished a nice steak lunch (grilled at home, rare), with roasted potatoes (using my new air fryer, which I love), and grilled zucchini with D20. Now off the run errands.
