Well, TH is gone for the weekend.
He has to go south again to work on the Snooty House, and he THINKS he’s got the Jaguar running smoothly enough.
I really hope so, because it is scary to me to think of him flying through those mountain passes and something exploding or whatever.
Yikes.
We had a lovely day yesterday, I did all my homework and some laundry and we ran some errands together.
In the evening was little T’s district spelling bee, and she went down fourth from the top. She was very nice and calm, as she had to stand up there and wait till the end of the round, but as soon as she started walking back toward me her pretty little face started crumpling and she sobbed on my shoulder.
Poor baby. She was upset because she KNEW the word well, it wasn’t a terribly hard one (”association”), but she was so nervous that she said “a-s-s-o-s…” and then, she couldn’t go back and fix it. They won’t let you, you know.
This morning, TH took me out to breakfast quite early, because he had to get on the road, and I had to get to college (I’m in the meth lab right now!). We drank coffee and ate English muffins (which we both love) and talked about nothing.
He surprised me by saying “I really appreciate the fact that I’ve had to spend so many hours working on the Jaguar, and you’ve never complained about that.”
It took me by surprise because, in my previous relationship, if that had happened I probably WOULD have minded!
I tried to explain to him “ALL THE TIME, you put me first, and when you come home, or I come home, the first thing you want to do is come cuddle me and talk to me. You ALWAYS want me with you, I ALWAYS feel like I’m number one to you! So I don’t think I’d mind just about anything you wanted to do.”
I think the reason most women feel ditched (and therefore miffed) when their man spends ages working on his car is that there’s an underlying feeling that he just wants to be by himself and do his thing. He doesn’t WANT to hang out with her.
But TH makes it clear all the time, through his actions, that he wants to be with me. So I don’t feel threatened by his Jaguar(mistress) or most anything else.
Nice.
Going to class now…
