NG is busy with work, and I'm just chilling out. No major dramas, a wonderful weekend just doing the next indicated thing. Lots of time to reflect and observe
Last night, we went to dinner at a reasonably posh restaurant, one we have been to before. A bit of background, NG and I both prefer to be comfortable when possible, so tend to live in our jeans. Since the bomb, of course, I've taken a more creative approach to my wardrobe and dress up when it is appropriate to do so. Usually when we go to 'nice' places for dinner. NG has made like he never noticed - not a word about 'honey you look great' or even making a small change to his attire. I kinda let it go - I was having fun dressing up, and everyone else has more than enough compliments to compensate for the lack of from NG
Well, whaddya know, last night as we get ready to go out, NG decided to change into a smart slik shirt and evening shoes. You could have blown me down with a feather, though I was careful not to go overboard with the compliments in case I scare the rabbit back into its hole The lesson here? They sure notice, and even if they say nothing, with sustained change, they eventually get the message.
Now, if it has taken NG this long to do something different about simple clothes for dinner, I wonder just how much longer I'll have to wait for the other more important stuff?
Just as well I'm signed up for taking things Slowly
