WAW to MLC XH bookends (it's complicated!)

[Unbeatab]

Called just now... sending a text to work as he called. Wanted to know if I knew what a charge on his card was for. He was going to text the question, but didn't want it to come across the wrong way. Asked how things are going, I told him good. He asked me how the store was doing, I said really well. He asked if we were getting out and doing stuff, I said of course. He said more importantly, are the boys getting out and doing stuff... I said that we're all good here. Long pause, and then he said OK, well, as you were. Bye.... I said OK, bye and hung up first.

How did I do, guys? I used my normal voice when I answered the questions, not my ice princess tone.

Should I have asked him how he was? It's weird being so short with him.

I didn't get defensive about the more importantly question... I guess he's not worried about my sanity anymore...lol. Still calling me instead of the boys, though. I hate how easy he can mask, especially with his overconfident tone, and try to get the upper hand. Much different approach from last call, no tail between his legs tone like last time.

Also, not spiraling into analyzing the call. Thanks to this board, I can see it for what it is... temperature check, and a different move in the dance.

Our only day off, so getting some rest... some gardening and cleaning, and some cooking. I love cooking, so trying new recipes, and making some ready to go meals for the week. I wasn't lying about the GAL'ing... we went out for milkshakes yesterday, trying to get walks in if the weather cooperates and we aren't too tired.
