Hanging on/The Long Haul #9

[WCW]

Bright and sunny, and cold. The diesel grunted this morning and then purred over. I got so used to not plugging it in while record high temps were set in January that now I can’t seem to get back in the groove. I did notice it was plugged in this morning, H must’ve went out and did that for me early today, and I forgot to acknowledge it.

I was up late again last night, and H just goes over and lays down on the couch to go to bed. Never says anything, good night or whatever. Something that bothers me, maybe next time it happens I’ll say good night as he pulls the blanket over him.

As usual now, this morning he waited until I was out of the bathroom and then he went in. But this time he said good morning, instead of nothing. I called back a good morning, and asked about some donation requests received for an organization we are involved with. When I was ready to leave, I walked back to say I was headed out, and he had just pulled back the shower curtain. Yikes!

I did my ‘reaching out’ this morning, I called H as I was out early to run work errands, and left voicemail about some software we need for the computers. I haven’t called him for anything for a while if I remember correctly. By the time I was back to work, my desk phone was ringing and it was H. We talked for almost 5 minutes, and it seemed like he didn’t want to hang up. Pretty special for a BOW Thursday.

But it is a bright sunny day!
