Calling out the Piecers

[dday101798]

Ahhhhhhhh,

Another fantastic night and morning.

Went to dinner with W and kids, we had a great time and ate like kings. It'll probably be one of the fewer times that we'll be eating out anymore as finances are getting tighter by the day.

Then we went back to "W's house" and I did my H duty and fixed her furnace. She is so grateful and appreciative. I guess that would be my "love language", acts of service is it? It was like a shot in the arm to W as a reminder as to what the hell was she possibly thinking with OM who couldn't seperate his lazy arse from the TV for a mere minute to change a light bulb, if that is even in his mechanical ability. W had the biggest smile on her face when she woke up this morning to a house that was actually warm and not having to run down and restart the thing.

Heh, this will be a test of (x)FIL's acceptance as S11 'assisted' me in the job, mainly holding a flashlight and running tools, but none the less, he got to watch, which is all part of the learning process. I must say, knowing how to service your own furnace is a must! Anywho, I know S11 will undoubtedly boast to (x)FIL that he needn't worry about getting around to the furnace, "dad fixed it already".

Unfortunately, the job took a while and by the time I got upstairs, W was out cold. But I'm content enough with just being snuggled up with her, I sleep sooooo much better. I so wanted to just call in to work today and spend all day in bed with her. I couldn't help but tell her how much I can't wait for those days again, ship the kids off to school and play hookie with eachother and enjoy an empty house to ourselves, which can get quite, well non PG-13

I showed her a couple of fixer-upper houses I had printed out and she is excited. Our entire relationship was founded on resotring the place she had when I met her. We work very well together.

It's going to great ride. Road ahead is looking much smoother.
