Such a beautiful morning to wake up to, and hubby snoozing next to me on his first day off after working 21 days straight!
I didn't say anything on social media about him being gone, as being disabled and alone might have made me a target for an opportunist who might have thought we might have something worth stealing.
He had called me from work one day and asked me if I thought I could manage without him for a week. Having my granddaughters reasonably close by, and knowing I could call them if I needed to, plus 3 or 4 friends who are nurses (so that if I had a medical issue, I could call them and ask for advice ) I told him yes.
By the time he got home, that afternoon, it was 3 weeks.
As he was due to leave on the Monday (the 4th), we tried to do as much as possible the weekend before he left. Delivering AVON to a customer who has moved to Anderson, on the Saturday, we met at the gas station on Highway 8, where my graddaughter Jel works. There, in conversation, she asked him how long e'd be gone, and he said 3-5 weeks, and I was like "what????" LOL. One week, then 3, now possibly 5? I did doubt my ability to cope, if it came to 5 weeks.
It has been a struggle BUT I managed and, in many ways, accomplished with aplomb. Much to my own surprise. Things may have been difficult, and taken me longer to do than they would a normal person, but I managed to get them done. Well, most of them.
The trash mounted up, and recycleables, and we will be taking those this morning, and I had my little helper, Sarah, come to help me do my living room as I cannot do the standng up to dust the shelves and my Mrs Albees.
It's good to have my hubby back. He knows he was missed. Angel greeted him with big wags of her tail and puppy-like excitement, and Snuggles had her night pillow to snuggle on again.
