February 28th 2015

My day with John today.
Groceries, bills, meals.........

There are some advantage

to a part time husband,

not many,

but a few.

Like having the WHOLE bed to yourself,

and never wondering if someone 

will get the last piece of cheesecake before you.

Never having to watch (with any regularity)

tv programs you don't like.

The down side to this arrangement

is we only have him home for 36 hours a week.

36 minus 2 nights sleep

= 20 hours

20 minus laundry

= 19 hours

19 minus 4-5 meals

= 16 hours

17 minus SSS time

= 15 hours

15 minus groceries for truck

= 14 hours

14 minus travel time to the yard (both ways)

= 13 hours

13 minus banking, gassing the car, bills etc

= 12 hours

12 minus the nap he always needs before he leaves

= 8 hours

8 minus the catching up with friends and on line

= 7 hours
7 minus one on one time with the daughter
= 6 hours left

Good grief,

lets hope there is no yard work,

house repair,

or in my case.........

a run to the hospital.

Naturally I had an attack 

JUST as John had to leave today.

That has to be a really hard decision

for someone to make.

Take the wife to the hospital

or go to work.

THANKFULLY

this is not the case for me.

I have a very large group of people

in my life who argue about who 

in fact 

gets to take me this time!

Although it took from 9:30pm to 6:30am

to get the hospital to agree to send me home

and what medications I would be on,

my niece Lacey was there 

being silly and taking care of me

the whole time.

We ended our adventure

at McDonalds

and ate enough for 4 people.

We were starving.

A drive home in the most beautiful snowfall EVER!

The snow actually looked like rhinestones!

So sparkly.

Thankfully this "attack"

can be treated with antibiotics

and will hopefully be over in the next 12 days.

Stupid kidney infection.

I don't always appreciate 

having a mobile phone 

but it was really nice that we could keep John informed

throughout the night,

so he would worry a little less.

So we start another week.

Lots to look forward to 

so I am off for some much needed sleep

and lots of rest.

I have to go dig Judy 

out of a snowbank at 2:30pm

in Dorchester.

Happy trucking John

Good night from John Street
