A Little Epiphany - (and a newbie delurking)

[Dia]

Journalling....

I've fallen into a certain little ritual at 5 pm. H gets out of work @ 5 and gets home between 5 and 6. My work day technically goes til 6, but it's flexible based on when I started, if I took lunch, etc.

So at 5 pm, I have been doing the following.

I put work down for a few moments.
If there is any spot tidying to do in the house - 3-5 mins worth - I do it.
I brush my teeth and freshen my hair, make up, perfume and clothing if I've been doing something messy.
I may put music on.
I may start supper so he can smell it from the driveway.

On the surface of it, these things are for him. But here's the impact on ME.

I have a few moments to think of H and positively anticipate his arrival.
Fussing with hair and make up makes me feel feminine and attractive.
Even though I've been here all day, the house feels warmer, happier and more welcoming.
This does does wonders for my PMA!

Clarifying - I am not expecting any certain reaction from him, not even just to notice.
