Coming up on One-Year of DB'ing...

[mindfull]

So, this weekend was our now S10's birthday weekend. His BFF is my BFF's son (same class @ school). Their birthday's are within a week of each other, so they wanted a party together. My H suggested taking them to a water park, w/a few of their friends and both families. (H is also friendly w/BFF's H.)

We went, and had a good time. The kids had a blast.

My BFF knows my H can be a pain, but not the extent of our issues... A couple of interactions to note...

We arrive at the condo (we rented a five-bedroom condo for all of us), and BFF says, "You two can have the master bedroom since (mindfull) set everything up, BUT I expect some action in that fancy room!" I was walking into another room when she said it, but I heard H's reply... "Whoa!" (Of course) I react by trying not to show emotion, and generally just going about my business. H starts following me around, trying to talk to me, without mentioning BFF's comment. I am choking back emotion, just answering and "busying" myself.

Then (this is really just a dumb interaction), yesterday the BFF and I go shopping while the dad's have the kids in the water park for two hours. We come back, and I have a new pair of glasses on (way cute, btw). H says, "Nice glasses! You look like Elvis!" I don't say anything, and just kind of look at him, with eyebrows slightly raised. BFF says, "I think they're darling!!" H says, "Fine. I'll meet you guys upstairs. I'm not riding the elevator w/HER." BFF says, "WTF?" H says, "She's pissed because I didn't compliment her." BFF says, "She doesn't look pissed to me. She didn't respond to you in any way really." We get in elevator, and H walks the stairs... BFF (in the elevator) says, "Sheesh, can HE be high maintenance!" I tell her, "You have no idea." The door opens, and H is there, and he, pretty much, has let it all pass.

We go on with our weekend, and enjoy the rest.

He knows the stress I'm under with this situation. He knows my health situation. He knows and witnesses it.

WHY?



Sorry, if I feel sorry for myself, but, now, on top of worrying about my heart issues, my cough has escalated, and it's making me wheeze, and cough so hard I throw up. My chest is tight, etc... I'm wondering if it might be pneumonia.

H was fine this am, even warm. I helped him with sending an email to the CFO of the company he does business for, and talked a bit in my office about the weekend, etc... H was having some major stomach issues (wonder why!), and thought it may be a gluten issue since he felt the worst after having breads, pizza, and pasta eight days in a row. So, last week I researched it, took him almost completely off of anything w/gluten in it, and he's doing a lot better now. Before he left today to go out of town for work, I packed him some snacks, a dinner, some sweets to take with him. He's back home tomorrow night, and going to this holistic doc that I've seen do miracles on some of my friends. Maybe she'll cure his mood(s).

One can only hope.
