Today I felt quite detached and OK. I had a delicious lie in in the morning, and D and I had a lovely cuddle.
Next, we played a game where I am D, and she is Mum. She had to get me up and out of bed and ready for the day, while I came up with all the lines that she usually uses to not get ready! We enjoyed ourselves hugely - me really getting into the part and stamping my feet and complaining and playing merry hell, and D scolding me continutously, wagging her finger and threatening to punish me and then laughing like a drain...
She did get breakfast sorted as part of her role - cutting the bread into slices, putting all the stuff on the table and making a banana milkshake! And she wore my housecoat, which is about a foot too long for her so it trailed on the ground all over the house....
After an hour or so of the game, which incidently was exhausting, we did some shopping and made two kinds of cake for a party tomorrow. And D finished a good part of her weekend homework. A really nice day. With plenty of attention just for D.
Towards evening, H rang. He just said, thought I'd say hi, so I said, hi! We chatted about this and that.
Then H said, actually, I had been thinking about asking you if I could come down for the weekend, but then I thought I should get on with stuff up here, workwise... but how would it be if I came down at the end of this week and stayed a couple of nights before going off to (other country)? If I stay up here much longer I will be getting cabin fever.
I said it was no problem. H talked about maybe getting to see some of his friends (he named some male ones) as he hadn't seen anyone in ages.
I would like to see him before he leaves for this trip, as he is going to discuss his project with people who could possibly see it come to fruition. I would like to let him know that I wish him the best in his endeavour. But I am glad I didn't jump the gun to invite him, I still feel he needs to make the moves, maybe if things get warmer in the future I will feel comfortable suggesting things myself.
