A Day With My Husband

It was a wonderful day. I got to spend the majority of it with my husband. We went and bought a pair of comfortable shoes for my first day at work, and a few odds and ends we needed here at the house. It may not seem like much, but it was really nice. Not stressed out, just in the moment with one another.

MIL has been gone most of the day, and is due home any minute. Just wanted to tell everyone how much I enjoy my husband's company. Still.  :-)

  1. I wish my husband was good enough to have a good day with. Now I am getting down so the chances seem to be decreasing.

    Do you know what happened to non-traditional family blog? Went there tonight and it didn't work. I'm worried. I liked them a lot.

    Don't know if you saw my response several posts ago where I said I was wondering through old posts here and there and came upon one where you were shopping for a funeral. I scanned it only and thought how sad one must buy a new dress for a funeral, black at that, then odd that you get a slip, jewelry, etc., very odd that you pick up shoes, and bizarre that the corpse gets to wear pantyhose. Then went back read again and realized that it was not for the dead one, but for the MIL. Must have laughed for 15 minutes at myself.

  2. LOL! BC, that is too funny! You are right: Aunt Hazel didn't need the shoes and pantyhose. Besides, she liked to go barefoot! ;)

    I am not sure what happened to NTF blog--maybe they are experiencing a glitch??

  3. I laughed so hard when I realized my mistake. Vowed never to allow you to put cheap panty hose on me for eternity! Seemed very odd for the purse, too, but the pantyhose were too much! I'll be cremated but don't want them on then either.

    My mom had nightgown bought and set aside with instructions when she died because she'd never trust me to do anything right. In fact, had whole thing planned ahead. Think she was afraid to go lest I screw everything up or leave her in backyard or something. I'll be cremated and eventually combined with ashes of all my dogs and husband and all interred together in vault next to mom, tho I wish it was outside so the view was better. Oh well.

    Nevertheless, really had great time laughing at my total misinterpretation. My fault, but funny.

  6. Exhausting! LOL I have put in 80 hours this week, and my body is sure feeling it. Hectic--they are soooooo understaffed! Hiring peeps like crazy in anticipation of spring break. Now I just have to get them trained in time...

    We opened a savings account so we can save as much of my check as possible toward a down payment on a house. We have a plan!

    Thanks for asking, BC, and I am sorry I have been so darned busy I can't see straight or have time enough to post.

  8. A little prayer please. Husband Ron in hospital this week and on respirator. He is suffering. Don't know when he will come off it. He's a little worse today than yesterday. I hate suffering in others. I am so nervous and shakey. It's the futility of it I think, for me, not being able to make a difference. How I wish I could.

  9. Oh BC, I am so sorry to hear that your hubby is suffering! Of course I will send up prayers, both for Ron and for you as well. Keep us posted on how he is doing. Strength to you!

  10. I did an update post on "journey" blog. Thought you might have read it. Ron finally off respirator after 12 or 13 days. Now he won't get out of bed or do anything for himself. He needs help to get up, will walk only with assistance for a while, because of lack of strength from being in bed. They tried taking even more fluid off lungs today but he said it hurt so they didn't take enough. Everything hurts. Don't know whether to be worried because he physically can't do things, or mentally is blocked, or angry. Last time he did this, 2 years ago, the physical therapy place discharged him and he had to go to rest home where I had to pay a LOT. I was on my knees begging him to get better or he'd ruin me. I think that's where I'm at now.

  11. Oh BC, I am glad your hubby is off the respirator, but it sure sounds like you have a long road ahead of you. I will keep you in my thoughts. Try and remember to take care of yourself as well.
