SO's off duty cycle is extending through the rest of May. Something negotiated with his XW and D16. I'm not sure exactly what this means June will bring in terms of QT together. SO actually asked for my opinion while he was negotiating this with XW. I said, "I'm not exactly sure I'm the best one to offer advice or an opinion in this one. I can't be unbiased." Anyway, I'm just enjoying the extra time with him now. This is a 180 for me. In the past I would have made my opinion WELL-known, and pouted quite a bit when I didn't get my way. I would have let him know that I thought he was being unfair to me.
We had a reasonably quiet weekend, which was good, because we were both pooped after the busy week we had each had. Friday night we stayed in, grilled dinner, and watched a DVD. Saturday we parted ways to take care of our own "stuff". Saturday evening we met up for a theatre movie and a late dinner afterwards. Just very calm and relaxing time. Yesterday we again split up to go our own ways for the holiday; he to his Mom's family for a big dinner, me to my daughter's to spend time with her family and my mom. Grandson #1 will be ONE YEAR OLD in three weeks! I CAN'T get over that! Gosh he was so good, too, despite not having adequate nap time.
I also talked to my mom about the idea of her relocating to the town I currenly live in. She will be 79 later this year, and I just don't think she's taking care of herself like she should be. I'd like to have her nearby so I can keep a closer eye on her. Unfortunately, for reasons beyond my comprehension, my brothers just are not that interested in her fate during her later years. I guess they're just too busy with "their own" families, again, despite the fact they both consider themselves good Christian men, and Promise Keepers to boot. Hrumph! Anyway, she seems to be open to it, and although there are a few barriers we will need to overcome, I would like to have her here and settled in before next winter.
I went back over to SO's for the night last night. Again, we just hung out, talked, watched tv, for just a short while before turning in for the night.
Tonight and tomorrow night will be "off nights". I need to work on a paper that is due on Tuesday, and I need to get to the gym. SO needs to work on class work for his class on Tuesday.
The weather has been unseasonably wet and chilly here, so not much time or opportunity for outside activities. I am debating about taking the summer off from class work. It would only be 8 weeks, but I think I may do that so I can relax and enjoy the summer a bit.
That's about it for now...back to work! <whip crack!>
