Had a great day with my mom on Valentines. We talked about vacations we’ve taken together, and a little about her accident just before Christmas, how she feels now, and she admitted that she thinks she was under so much stress and that contributed to what happened. It was tough to hear this from my mom, she has got to be one the strongest women I know in my life. The theory is ‘the nut doesn’t fall far from the tree’. I am one lucky daughter!!
H came home early, I had a slight moment of ‘it’s Valentines, he’s going to surprise me!’ Wrong. I knew better, but the thought just sprung up so fast. He said he had a meeting in less than hour that was a 45 minute drive. I couldn’t help but say “no wonder you are home so early.” I struggle more and more with not saying what’s on my mind.
I had a meeting last night as well, social as much as business. I beat H home by less than 5 minutes, I expected him to be pretty late. Had I known, I would have stayed out later. H didn’t say too much, he got a late night phone call. Then he laid down on the couch with his back to the room to sleep. When I went to bed, I blew out the candles, and went to touch him on the shoulder and say good night. He was awake, and he stiffened at my touch. As if he was afraid of more to come.
I woke myself up last night, I was screaming in my sleep. I don’t remember what I was dreaming about, and I think I am glad I don’t. Still shaken by that feeling.....
We are under a winter weather advisory for tonight and tomorrow, up to 10 inches. A lady here at work talked about how many inches we would wake up with tomorrow. Geez, wishful thinking!
Live your life while you are still living. Riding the trail less traveled.
