Slowly - yes, the Long Haul. I've only been on this board since June, but it all started over 2 years ago. It's been a long haul already, and I'm not ready to shut it down. But strange has started.
Last night, H got home from skiing (about an hour late) and was as about as crabby as I've ever seen him, at least in a long time. I had one of the dogs in the house with me, which isn't unusual when it's so cold out, the cold really affects this one. H came bumbling in with ski stuff and bags and coffee cup and computer bag (has to take that skiing?), letting stuff drop and throwing it around. I turned and asked if he got it all, he muttered something, stomped around, tossed some more stuff, stumbled/kicked twice over the dog and made him yelp, and that was the end for me. I called the dog, went to the bedroom, and closed the door so the dog would stay with me. Our bedroom door is always open, but not last night. H can be as mean and ornery as he wants to me, I can defend myself, but don't take it out on the critters.
This morning I told H I had to make contact with a lady to pass along some information for an event in February, and should I make our usual reservations pertaining to the business. He said yes. Relief? I guess so. The impending feeling of doom after the holidays maybe is just more built up in my mind than in reality. After all, who can walk away from me? geez, is that vain?
A couple nice things yesterday - an order came in for our home business, and H got me some things I had asked about. Also, when he left last night he left a bottle of diesel treatment setting in the middle of the kitchen floor for me. Now that might not sound wonderful, but it was his way of showing that he didn't want my truck to gel up. So he does think about me! hehe
