Hey Faith & Orchid...

My day went pretty good today.
Well... As good as it can go while going through this storm.

After H came home from work yesterday, he started drinking one glass after the other of straight whiskey.
This is someone who really never drank much.
So when he drinks, I notice it right away.
He was very irritable. After dinner, I started cleaning up, because it looked like the whiskey was getting the best of him.
Side note; It has always been that I cook, and he cleans up afterward.
So H comes in and says, " I told you I would clean up!" I just told him that I didn't hear him, and he could finish, which he did. As he was finishing up, I decided this was a perfect time for an "Act As If". So I quickly applied a little lip gloss, and a little perfume, and walked past him saying "see ya" as I walked out the door.
I was gone for several hours... Target, Kohls, filled my car with gas grin
While I was gone, I started feeling a little remorse that maybe I was too short with him when I left. But then I started thinking about what he has done for the past year.
When I came home, I noticed he had put the front lights on for me. WOW! What a switch!! HIM doing that for ME!
I came in, and he even had my favorite TV channel (TBN Christian channel) on.
He was sound asleep... imagine that.

This morning, he was still sleeping when I left for work. I thought about waking him up, but didn't. He's a big boy, if he's late for work well... so what. Besides he's the boss of his dept anyway.

Oh that reminds me... Lately he's been eating his breakfast standing in the kitchen in his underwear, at just about the time I leave. There was a time, not too long ago, that he was being very private. Which I had to laugh about! I would think to myself how crazy I've seen it all before.

The JOY of the LORD is my STRENGTH
