AKgal, thanks so much for your encouragement--it really helps! I think I will do the nails, but need to wait a few days until the cat bite on my finger heals! While the dog was attacking the cat I tried to get the cat away and she bit me. Of course they have dirty little mouths so had to go to the doc and get antibiotics. Boy did it hurt too!
Anyway, last night H called a little after 6 which is very early for him. I didn't answer so he left a message to call even though he knew he would be out of phone range. I called and left a message saying I was sorry I missed him, just returning his call. He called a couple hours later and told me what he'd been doing all day (day off) and I said it sounded like he had a good day. He told me about his healthy eating all day and I told him I was proud of him. He also told me while he was visiting a friend, they went to look at the guy's house he is remodeling and renting out. The guy told H he should move in there. H said it was a cute little house and I was dreading him saying he was going to move into it. But he said he didn't think he wanted to do that. I've decided to take that as meaning he plans to move in with me sometime. I didn't say anything though.
I went to his place and we watched TV and talked a little. He doesn't talk much when focused on tv and I remember eyesopened saying that in the evening when men are sitting down watching tv their brains are winding down for the night and they don't have much to say. So I don't try to initiate any serious talks about anything.
It was a nice, relaxing evening. I feel better today about the possibility that this R will progress, just have to remember to take it slow.
