Hanging on/The Long Haul

[WCW]

H was home a few minutes and now gone again skiing tonight. Funny how he could get home so early tonight and not any other night? No surprise. At first I thought he had taken his stuff with him today and wasn't stopping home, but he did stop home. This is his first time back on skis since his injury, it's been two years since he's skied. Doctor has said that it would be easy to reinjure and be laid up even longer. So I took the chance and put my hands on H and said, "I hope you ski safe and if it hurts too much or doesn't feel right then don't do it, okay?" His sarcastic reply, "then I shouldn't work either?" I just walked outside, I didn't respond. He followed in a few minutes and helped me with a few things, then said see ya later and left. But it really bugged me. I mean, I have the insurance and thousands of dollars of medical bills that I JUST finished paying off last month, doesn't that 'buy me the right' to at least say please be careful? Not in his mind. So I steamed awhile outside in the frigid temps here, and then sent him a txt mssge. "I'll try again. hope ur skiing is safe and doesn't hurt too much. pain is weakness leaving the body. don't get cold." I wonder if he'll catch the double meaning of 'dont get cold'? The message hasn't been delivered yet, I suppose he turned his beloved phone off figuring that I'd try to call him. But, at least I know if his phone is off he's not spending his skiing night on the phone with OW like he used to do.

So Monday night is bachorelette night until I decide to go along sometime!! And maybe I'll just go myself and reacquaint myself with skis when H isn't around, and then surprise him when I do go with him and he watches me swooosh down the hill. Ah, that's a funny sight! I have to laugh at myself because I really am a bad skier. Even with the expertise of H helping me and a few lessons in the past, my knees lock up and that makes it pretty dang hard to turn.
aaahhhhhh, a tree!
