Hanging on/The Long Haul #9

[WCW]

H was home again when I got home from work today. He was working on store orders downstairs. I walked in by him, he was on his phone, talking about pulling in her driveway and her truck was there, but no one came to the door. I left. I have no clue who he was talking to, I didn't ask, I didn't stick around to hear more. He knew I was there, he came up a few minutes later to say I didn't stick around long enough for him to say hi. A little later he left to meet a lady and deliver the order he's been working on. He didn't ask if I wanted to ride along, but I had a meeting tonight and he maybe remembered that. Don't know, can't answer.

For the most part he seems friendly enough lately, we're not full of tension, but we're not at all close either. I just don't know, and I can't read it all the time. More time? or forge ahead for answers? He's going to do what he's going to do, and me too.

I got a pecan pie today from our vet friend, the guy who called me 'precious' last week. All together now, awwhhhhhh, wasn't that sweet? His birthday was yesterday, and he made me a pie. Nice guy, his W has put up with a lot from him over the years too, or maybe those were all just rumors, I don't know. I do know he's a good vet, and never been anything but good to me and the critters here. Even way before H moved here.
