I had to go to an appointment at my specialist in the city. Traffic was horrendous! As I was trying to change highways to go home there was a huge accident and everything came to a standstill. Well, the next sign I saw was for the highway to the town where he lives. So, instead of sitting in traffic for a few hours I changed lanes and half an hour later I was at his place.
He was surprised and at first not too pleased. I woke him up (he works night shift) However after talking for a bit we decided to go grocery shopping and then we went out for dinner. He talked a lot about what he's been reading, his favourite movies, what shows he's been watching. We talked about music and who he would like to go see in concert.
I haven't heard him talk so much in months. I made a real conscious effort to just listen to him. That was always one of his biggest complaints, that I didn't listen. He was right....often I would cut him off. I'm a huge chatter box with my family, but very quiet with most everyone else. We ended up having a pleasant evening. I dropped him off at work. He gave me a kiss goodbye and I had clear sailing on the highway to go home.
Now I don't expect to hear from him for a while. His mom and I are making plans for our annual Christmas dinner at Mandarins Chinese restaurant. He is working all the holidays, so I asked him to let his mom know if he would like to come and what day he can do it.
Now I'm returning to my regularly scheduled DB life. Too much to do in the next few weeks and not enough time.
Oooohhh...on a fun GAL note. I found a really great deal on flights to Hawaii in January. This is one place my mom always wanted to go to with my dad. Since my dad passed away 12 years ago, I'm going to take her. Already talked to her about it. She is all for it. Aloha
