Life just keeps rolling along. XH and I have been texting more lately because of the twins’ birthday coming up and Christmas of course. Want to make sure we aren’t duplicating gifts and in my daughter’s case, we are coordinating complimentary gifts. I texted him yesterday about what our plans are for those dates. Technically, they are scheduled to be with me for their birthday and Christmas Day. If we stuck to our schedule, they would go to his place in time for dinner. But... I know how I would feel if they were scheduled to be at his place so I told him we can work something out. Haven’t heard back yet...not sure why. Not gonna worry about it. I know we’ll figure something out.
The pandemic is wreaking havoc on my love life. Haven’t seen TDH for about ten days and may not see him for a couple more weeks. My province has implemented a “reduce your social circle, stay at home as much as possible, and don’t travel outside of your community” order. His social circle currently is limited to me, his kids, his ex and his mom so I’m not too worried about him being a carrier of CV19 but he does come from the health region with the most cases so it is more about optics and setting a good example. The order “expires” in a week so we’ll see how things go. In the meantime, we talk daily and are still playing our Scrabble games. He also texts me a lot of random messages throughout the day about how much he misses me and loves me. He still isn’t working so I think is going a bit stir crazy. He’s been thinking about a major career change and has been talking about going into healthcare. He could get hired and trained as a care aid and then work towards becoming an LPN. He has the perfect personality for it and he could easily find work near me when he is ready to move. Normally you would have to get the care aid training first and then apply for a job but there are so many vacancies due to the pandemic that employers are now hiring and training on the job. There is a central application process. He sent in his application a few days ago and apparently should hear back within three weeks. The positions are unionized and come with benefits so I think it is a good move for him.
Happy Thanksgiving to my American friends!! Hope you manage to find things to be thankful for. (((HUGS)))
