Hi Martha and Jennifer - Thanks for stopping by, things at work are still incredibly hectic, for both NG and myself But, the weekend starts in a few hours here, and I've got a glass of wine with my name on it. Apart from yoga tomorrow, we are blissfully devoid of plans
NG loves the new bedroom, though it took a lot of interpretation. When he came back and went to change, I could hear the pause in his footsteps - obviously taking in the new wardrobe, the stuff that has been moved around. He said nothing, and over a drink, I asked what he thought, and the only response was 'its nice'. Mars speak - I've just come back from a long flight, and am not in the mood to talk. I dropped it.
An hour later, he asks when I organised everything. You should know that this store makes a meal out of delivery and assembly, it really does take a lot of co-ordination. Mars-speak - Honey, I really appreciate the effort you have gone into organising this. The next morning, over breakfast, he casually asks how I managed to move so many heavy things, and what help did I get. My translation of his mars-speak - Sweetie, the more I think of this, the more I realise just what a lovely surprise this is. Anyhow, he seems to like it
One thing that I am getting much better at is asking then backing off when he does not have much to say. Eventually he does elaborate, it just may take a couple of days. Zipping my mouth is certainly serving me well.
But, the weekend starts in a few hours here, and I've got a glass of wine with my name on it. Apart from yoga tomorrow, we are blissfully devoid of plans
