Hanging on/The Long Haul #6

[WCW]

Thanks, amd. You pointed out things in a positive way, more than I saw.

Got a few more things lined up to proceed with day to day business around here, land renter and a bull for breeding the cows. I've left that to H this year, being he was pretty upset that I handled it last year when he couldn't, but it's way past time to get these cows bred and it's costing money to leave them open. I've been working real hard at not being the fixer of these problems, but I can't continue to just let it slide when it's wasting money like this. Now there are a few other things that I've not worked on fixing yet, like the list of horses we came up with that are for sale. If H wants to sell them bad enough, then he will have to step up and help me get them in sale condition. I won't do it all myself, he can jump in and help. I haven't fixed the leaky water pipe, he can fix it or find someone to fix it. We did talk about a house repair or two, but no final decision, just talk.

Today I had to go back to the ski shop and get my bindings reset for the new boots. I called H to ask about trading his boots for a bigger size, as he said the other night his were tight. Got voicemail (surprise), and said I wasn't leaving right away but if he could let me know soon it would be nice. He did call back, said don't trade but thanks for thinking about it. I asked then about riding along tonight for skiing, he was silent, and then said he didn't understand the sudden interest in skiing. I said it wasn't a sudden interest, I went with him most of the time for skiing until I had surgery and couldn't ski. And the next years things were just different and I didn't go. I would like to ski again, but if he didn't want me to ride along then just say so. He said whatever. I said okay, see ya later. So I was planning to go along tonight, more to carpool than to ski with H, but that plan fell apart during chores tonight when nothing went quite right. Besides, this is the last night in history of ABC Monday Night Football. How could I miss that?

Dogs - now THAT is unconditional love. I can learn from my dog.

Continuing with working on GAL, connecting with friends to do things or get together. One of them is a ski day.
