Half day at work today -- leaving at noon to make up for Monday PM when I had to come into work on my vacation day! Taking my brother to lunch then will go home and do some more puttering.
Work was OK yesterday. Got home and went for a walk with h. Afterwards we got a quick dinner and relaxed at home. He was a bit tense and mildly prickly with me at first -- I suppose because he's under so much pressure -- or maybe it was me? Either way, I tried to be open and calm and after not too long I think we both felt more relaxed.
In honor of h, I would like to add another phrase to our lingo -- akin to "itchy butt" -- I will call it "Maybe he's visiting the Planet of the Apes"
The story...sometime over the weekend, h and I were in the car coming back from the movies. We had spent a lot of time together that day -- had fun, some intimate moments, etc, and were heading home after seeing something or other (I can't remember!). Anyway, I was driving and h was sitting beside me -- looking deep in thought. I was silent. I was thinking "gosh, what is he thinking about? He looks so serious! Is it me? We spent so much time together today! Is it XYZ?"
Finally, h breaks the silence and says "I've just figured out a significant plot hole in the movie 'The Planet of the Apes'. Well, besides the obvious plot holes of time travel and a planet inhabited by ape-like men." He then proceeded to tell me the results of his deep thoughts.
My h is totally adorable. Totally clever. And sometimes when he's lost in thought he's NOT ruminating on me, our m, etc. Sometimes he's just visiting the planet of the apes.
