I'm tired of cooking/preparing 3 meals a day. It's just the two of us but boy oh boy can that woman eat!! She stays slimish, I get fattish. It's bad enough I do everything here much less start making her one thing and me the other. At times I feel guilty when I buy her fast food cuz of the nutritional value....not to mention I eat it too.
Having a quiet dinner together as a couple probably made up for Dad's absence
Midkid, I did not know you all were discussing Dh breakins over here when I just posted the neighbor's disturbance today (over on my favorite things thread).
I suggested we use a water hose instead of a gun.
My dH was also locked out this week, he did it, but I had to get out of the shower to let him in! Strange, he can pick the lock on the bathroom door anytime.

This is not the time to be dwelling on your mother's furniture, because you'll just end up getting mad and frustrated about everything that isn't going well - and you'll get into a tailspin over it. Call the store on Monday. Keep looking at travel brochures. Or get in a DVD that you and your husband can enjoy together. Hope you'll find a way to pass the time over the weekend, and I'll be thinking of you. Fingers tightly crossed the symptoms will wear off. Hugs to you.
The longer I live the more I understand about the stereotypical behaviour of elders to talk about their failing health, seems if it isn't happening to us it involves our loved ones.
All for the want of one stupid 5 word text: "Yes, I am coming home tonight." If he had taken 3 seconds off FB (his newest addiction) he could have texted me and none of this ridiculousness need have happened. In the time he sat at the airport(s) he was on FB for almost 6 hours, arguing with anti-vaxxers and liberals. (Sigh) Not one break to email, call or text me.
i mowed my little orchard today , tilled one garden and set tomatoe plants . this morning i came close to texting my ex helper " heather " to come help ( for pay ) . then i got flashbacks of the cat and mouse game i played with her for 2 yers on the job . if id so much as blink my eyes she'd be scurrying around the house to play on her phone .
if im going to pay 12 bucks an hour for someone who acts like a 10 yr old -- i might as well hire a ten yr old .
i just done all the work myself . " principal " is a big deal to me ..
Decided to do some "me time" tonight and sat outside, burned some twigs and such in the firepit and just looked up at the sky with a drink in hand. Very nice.
This week has been rough. Why is it the death of an icon hits us so hard, even though we didn't know them personally? I know it seems silly, but Prince's music was the soundtrack of my youth, whether it was "appropriate" music or not - he gave voice to my youthful rebellion. His death was a personal blow. I'm probably alone in that here, since I don't think anyone else here was a fan....but boy, that was a hard one. It was like when Robin Williams died - all I could think was 'WHY???'
Katie, sometimes A-Fib can come and go, hopefully now that it's the weekend, and he can relax for these couple of days, his heart will convert back to normal rhythm! As others have said, forgot the furniture for now, it will sell in time! Keep your plans for a nice holiday away, you deserve it! HUGS!
