Quote: I guess what he says to me really is a barometer for what is going on in his life, not a reaction to me every time.
Bingo!!!!
Quote: he said, just send it up with D when she comes up for the weekend, then said (a slip?) I am too busy to come down for the next few days, I have all this work on. Was he thinking of coming down? Like I have said, I need this weekend for myself anyway, so I am content for D to go up to him.
Okay - but do devise a response just in case he asks you at the last minute to come up with her. Not expecting him to ask that, but anything's possible - after all, he's feeling better about himself now that he has work, if you came up too he would have help with dd, could maybe get a little more work done, and - hey - some of that warmth he's been gravitating towards lately?
