Just some journaling...h called tonight and asked what i was doing...first time for that!!I said nothing..he asked if I had eaten, i said just a bite of mac and cheese..I said why..he said he felt like pizza but did not want to order just for himself, i said I could eat a piece asked if he wanted to come over, so he did...he even took his shoes off, a first in months...sat down, orderd pizza, played a game with our kids before they were off for the night, we talked about work and everyday things...one thing that did bother me was that he has been sick for a few days and the sec at the church has also, and today when he stopped out htere she was back at work and another staff member called and jokingly made a comment about the fact that he was sick for a few days and the sec had been sick for a few days..and now they were both back....he said to person on phone are you trying to start rumors about us, and she said oh no someone else has already done that.There is one lady who works at the church who is miss- know- it- all- gossip whom h has said wants to butt in when he and sec. are talking, and seems to think because he is there and talking to sec, that something must be going on.. I guess the thing that seems to bother me is that h thinks it is funny that these people are thinking or saying these things.When he first moved out and I told him about relatives that assume things or co workers said things, he was upset that people say things when they don't know a thing that is going on, now he is taking it in stride...I know it should not bother me but it does. Anyway, we watched a little tv and then h left..I did not ask for a hug and he did not offer..said he would see me at church Sunday...Small steps... Sue
