Looking backward...but only to move forward

Had a really nice weekend. Friday I met h in town and we went for a quick bite and a movie. He had been at school at a study group. I asked who was in his group and he started telling me the names -- he got a pained look on his face as he said one of the names -- same one as xow (it's not a particularly common name) -- and he said "I'm sorry honey". I gave the literal and figuritive wave of my hand and just asked him some questions about what they had studied. DB points to Sage!

Saturday we went hiking in the am. Then h went to school to try out for the trial team. I did homework and organized my checkbook, paid bills, etc. while he was gone. He came home after a few hours and we went to see "Closer" -- it was a very good movie (it does contain infidelity, however, but there was only one or two scenes that cut too close to home -- one where one of the characters says to her partner "there was a moment when you decided between 'I will not do this. I will hold my ground' or 'I will do this'. What about that moment?").

Anyway, on the way to the movie we talked a bit about his competition. He said that he felt like I had been there with him He also said that when he gets nervous about stuff he thinks "How badly can it be? I can go home to Sage" which was just about the most loving and open thing I think I've heard. It was difficult not to get teary eyed over that!

Sunday we were two ships that pass in the night for most of the day! Hung out a bit in the AM then I went off to a school study group. While I was gone, h went to a friend's to watch football. He got home around 6pm. We had a great dinner (I had picked up a chicken pot pie) and then watched TV. Fairly early to bed!

Lots of positives goin' on in Sage's world.
