Ellie – you might be right. Is there a subliminal message in there??

A14 – I’m a diet coke addict, although I don’t drink near as much as I used too. I’ve trained me to drink more water. Dew is a good substitute though, can we still be friends?

Amd- pecking away it, a little at a time. I get sidetracked pretty easy, and you really have to be in the right mood to throw away years of neat useless stuff. Call it a work in progress.

Friday evening was great! Some friends showed up and we all rode together, they asked about H and I tried to explain I didn’t know what he was doing or if he was coming home or what we were doing the next day without sounding totally idiotic, but I don’t think I was very convincing. They invited me to go into town with them and grab some food, so I did. The waiter was a hoot! I got home fairly late, and guess who was home – H. I don’t know if I was surprised or not. He did ask about my next days plans, and it turned out we rode together to the event today, on the drive back got off the main roads and drove thru some very scenic countryside, and ended up at a fundraiser banquet for Miss Rodeo to compete at the Nationals. I took along books and paperwork to keep me occupied during the drive, we seldom talk while driving, but today H talked a lot. He told me about all sorts of things that happened yesterday, and stories about other people, he talked and we talked for the whole drive there, talked on and off thru the day, on the scenic drive back, it was sure a 180 for us to just talk so much. I think he was filling the space so I couldn’t bring up anything uncomfortable to talk about… which was just fine to have good old conversation again. Big things, little things, no things, lots of things - we had such a nice normal day between us, the best I can recall in such a long time.

Tired now, very tired and fading fast. Need sleep. I’ve only had 2 –4 hours each night this past week. Another busy day tomorrow.
