So just an update. Nothing hugely spectacular. No huge shift or revelation. Just little things are changing. Which as I'm dealing with all this togetherness I'm realizing I think our path what ever it may be is being sped up. With all the family game time we've been having lately he's hearing stories about things the girls and I have done without him that he had no idea that happened and he gets this weird pained look on his face, but never says much. We are working out as a family. I've made it back on to his social media. Sparingly, no professions of love or "my beautiful wife and I" posts but as I haven't made an appearance since mid-November, and how tied he is to his social media presence it feels like that's important to mention. Yesterday we had a big leap. It's frigid where we live and I decided to grill burgers. He bundled up, grabbed two beers and came and hung out with me outside while I grilled. In the summer that was our week day no kid quiet time. I was so surprised I had to act like I was surprised he was sharing his fancy beer stash with me. He then asked for me to cuddle with him on the couch after the kids ditched us. Apparently they don't appreciate Tiger King the way we do. (btw watch it!!!; soooo good!) He didn't try to get in my pants just snuggled. And asked for a kiss good night when I went to bed as we both had to get up early and the kids were still bumping around face masking and facetiming bfs. I know I'm not supposed to read into any of that. I get that. But all that. Every one of those things are things he hasn't done since September. I didn't realize how far gone he was how fast.
The girls and are doing ok with being home all the time. But as we live in a midsized metro area in the city proper our girls are in two separate schools with two different schedule for virtual learning and two different spring breaks. H and I both are working. I am work from home. No job elimination on the horizon. His job didn't eliminate just shifted people to other sites and eliminated all their contract workers. He's exactly as he was in the same place. Just no over time for the foreseeable future. I start my masters program in a month so I'm super excited for that. I miss my friends but we've been doing facetime happy hours or snapchat group happy hours. I hope every one is doing well and staying healthy. I miss chatting with you guys on here too!!
