* The names were changed
Will's business associate did come on Tuesday. I had set up the room for him. Will did not seem to appreciate it. He picked up the guy at 11:00am at the airport and took him sight seeing and out for lunch. He arrived a bit before 3:00 as I had an appointment with my midwife. Alia was sleeping and Will was getting ready to walk to the office with Philip. He expected me to wake Alia up and take her with me. I said that no, he would have to work from here until I was done. He was not happy.
I left at 3:00 and was back here by 3:45. He then left for the office as he had a "meeting" for 4:30..I called him near 6:00 to ask if he was coming home for supper. He said that Gerald was not in for the meeting yet and they would come for supper in the meantime. I had made homemade chicken soup with homemade tea biscuits as well as a vanilla cake. They ate and went back to the office until 10:00 pm.
The next morning, they left after cereal, did not come home for lunch but came home for supper. I had made salmon steaks, roasted garlic wild rice pilaf and my tomato/cucumber/dill salad. Will had the PC with him this whole time so I could not update my diary as I would have liked. The guys worked from home for a bit and I took care of Alia and put her to bed. Philip went to bed early as they were leaving early for Washington.
Will stayed up to read up on the news until 10:30 at night, leaving me to deal with Alia who did not want to go to bed and putting off his packing until the morning. I had to put my alarm on for him for 6:00 am. I got up and made sure Will had all he needed for the trip. He left and called me around 4:00 pm that night to say they had arrived and that he wouldn't be able to call me later as he had a meeting that night.
He called me again the next morning to see how the night went but didn't call me again that day. He called the next day after 2:00 pm to say that he would be home around 3:00. During the time he was away, I had a nice break. Much less work and I got a zillion things done: washed the area rug very well, fixed/cleaned the backyard/cleaned the garage/reset the guest room/got Alia to eat better/sleep better/went to the park with her every day/had my dad over for lunch/played the piano etc..
When he arrived, I was almost done sweeping the garage. He said hi, asked why I was cleaning the garage, commented that it must have been difficult to breathe in the dust, asked if I needed help and then brought his things upstairs.
The rest of the week was like before. Will sitting on the sofa alternating between work and the news, me serving him food, him leaving his plate on the counter for me to clear and clean. He was also dismissive to Alia and grumpy. He raised his voice at me twice for no reason other than him not being able to control his stress and frustrations.
On sunday at church, he told Edward and Kimmy that he was going to bring Alia to the gym with him every morning so that I could have a break but later told me that he wouldn't because that would be too difficult as his workout are easier in the afternoon and he has to work with the IT guys in the morning.
