He said he's seeing someone new

Got an email from H. Apparently his L needs to see our original marriage certificate in order to proceed with the property settlement paperwork, so he asked if I could mail it to them, and said he'd make sure I got it back if I wanted it. I told him I'd give it to his parents when they're here for lunch on Saturday, (finally heard back from MIL about that a couple days ago) rather than sticking it in the mail, and said that yes, I would like it back when they're done with it.

Resisted the temptation to say anything along the lines of, "Frankly I don't see the point of any of this property settlement crap at this point in time, and if you're just doing it to try and convince me we're really over then don't freaking bother wasting your time and money, because I'm already perfectly well aware of your stance on the matter." I figured talk like that wouldn't help matters, so didn't go there.

He actually apologised for not replying to my email with the followup question about the flagpoles last week. He said he's been swamped with emails regarding one of the projects he's been working on, and only just noticed my email in his inbox. I'm inclined to believe the former, (because I know the project he's working on, and know how much email he gets along with it), but not necessarily the latter. He said he saw the flags being waved at the game.

I asked him a couple of casual questions, like if he was sitting in the press box for the football game, (he usually gets a media pass and sits in the press box area for several games each season), and how his plans for his Africa trip are going. I also asked if he's got anywhere to move the pool table to, (the one item he's claiming in the property settlement). Told him that if his only option is to pay for storage somewhere that he's welcome to leave it where it is for however long, because I'm sure that with his trip to Africa coming up, the last thing he wants is to be spending more money on things like storage for a pool table.

We'll see what kind of a response I get, if any.

Anyway, like I said, in laws are coming over for lunch on Saturday. Not sure what I'm gonna make yet, but I get to really cook so rarely these days that I'm wanting to make something a bit special. Haven't seen FIL since before Christmas. Hope it goes off without a hitch. *fingers crossed*

Gave myself a pretty good workout yesterday, so pretty much every muscle in my body is sore right now. I'd had a good, (and therapeutic ) session with my punching bag on Monday as well, so I've actually been in muscle pain of some description for pretty much the whole week so far.
