My Story Re: All aboard the crazy train - 9
#110: May 25, 2017, 09:04:14 PM
I went to lunch today with a friend/coworker  who had been at my house on Tuesday when h came over to fix my friend's car. She commented that H was very handsome. The interesting thing was she said "I had forgotten how attractive he was". He really did look very nice when he came that day - It's like he's beginning to look like himself again - much more life in his eyes.   She also commented that her husband would never have dropped everything to come rescue her friend the way h did on Tuesday. And he did it without much prodding and with an incredibly pleasant disposition. Her words were - it's those things that help me support your stand because I can still see the good guy in there.  Thankfully, I feel like I see the good guy more often these days.

We finally decided that the easiest thing was to board the dog for the night. My neighbor said her son could  walk him but the kids weren't comfortable - afraid that kid would allow him to get away. I mentioned it to h and he said he agreed so we just decided to board him. H say he could pick him up tomorrow afternoon so he wouldn't have to be at the boarder all weekend.

H just texted to say to cancel the boarding he'd keep the dog. That's interesting to me because that means he plans to be home tonight. Glad he's stepped up to keep the dog.

Wow - maybe he is back in the surf after all.  :) Now I need to think about how deep he has waded in - LOL. He ran back to shore for a bit, but making some progress :)

RT,

I hope you have a wonderful time at the graduation!  Sounds like your H is becoming himself again, one step at a time.  How wonderful!  Just keep being YOU  ;)

Once H realized that my family was coming back to the house he texted to ask me if I wanted him to leave the truck or if I wanted to drive it to the graduation. I told him it would be nice to have it for when we are at the house so we wouldn't need to drive 2 cars everywhere. He asked for details so I made sure to text him when we got here but haven't texted him anything else. I will probably send him a pic of cousin tomorrow. D commented that she's sure he's sad to miss it.

The kids and I have enjoyed being here so far. It's very rural so incredibly different from what we are used to. My aunt booked the hotel from the internet and its pretty bad. It's funny to see the horrified look on the kids' faces - spoiled much? 😂😂😂😂

All caught up - he is still so connected, he just doesn't seem to see it.  Glad he hasn't had much time for that faux fashionista.  Instead, he prefers to spend his free time at home.  I like that.  You are doing a great job!

Faux fashionista totally cracked me up. She really does dress terribly - so bizarre!

There's an event this weekend that the crew always goes to. I really hope I don't end up seeing pics of them together. No matter how detached I get I always hate that - especially since she always looks so firetrucking ridiculous.

I get it - we don't need it in our face with pictures.  I don't read about horse face other than the one time.  I learned what I needed to know, so no reason to ever do it again.
