Conversation at my house...

DH trips again.  Me:  Did you trip again?  Him:  No.  Me:  Yes you did.  Why?  Him:  Being without my gall bladder has thrown my balance off.  Me:  Couldn't be the NyQuil you took could it?  Him:  No.  Not at all.

Rolling eyes.

Well, he's right of course!

Tell him he needs to wear a big heavy earring on his left ear to even things out and stabilize his balance.

Take pictures and post them.

 I really do need to suggest that!  And I'm  taking notes on the sneakers and feet thing.

I am not offended that you asked about the NyQuil Lily.  On pain meds he does tend to take too many so I do get really... not sure what the word is for this.  When he had the kidney stone we got into a fight about his use of pain meds.  I used to worry about him with the NyQuil.  A lot.  But we've been married seven years.  I will say I don't like the way he takes it.  He just drinks it from the bottle till he feels he's "had enough".  IMO, he is far too liberal with the use of it.  BUT, as soon as he starts to feel better he stops the NyQuil.  So I've learned it's not a trigger for him and I just leave him alone about it.  Some things are not worth fighting about.  It doesn't seem to make him want to drink.  It makes his breath smell like skunk feces though.  Ugh.  He seems to have it under control.  I think somewhere along the way in life someone taught him NyQuil was a cure all for a cold.  So now he believes that.  I can't take the stuff.  Horrible.

See?  I don't get offended all the time! 

That's some strong stuff. Maybe have the doctor tell him?

I did get him to agree to run the vaporizer with Vicks. But I really need the Vicks plug in and I lent it to a neighbor who's baby was sick. She's supposed to bring it back today. I also got him to put Vicks on his chest. Tonight I'm going to see if he'll put it on his feet. He doesn't like socks so who knows. I just found out that Vicks makes a bubble bath so when we run to the store I'm going to look for that. I pick my battles carefully. I don't want to die on a hill.

Throw him outside!

NJN, I hope your husband feels better soon. Both of you are due for a break. My dIL is off today so no grandson. I decided to go to work and realize I'm obsolete. They miss me as a person but all my work as been designated and I'm just sitting here. Monday she is off to so I don't think I'm coming in. I'm not sure how I feel about that.

Njn go get yourself a hotel room!

What?  I missed something.

I sort of retired to baby sit my grand son.  I'm not upset at the least and I will have more free time so I'm not upset it just realizing a chapter is closing in my life.

   I told him to go to the doctor.  He said no.  He says he can treat himself.  He's a MAN.  Let's not forget that fact.

---

Does he know it's full of alcohol? It sounds very unsafe for him. I'm not trying to be snarky.

I see.  Open a new chapter!  :)

 Yes it is.  It was my choice to stay home with the little man.  I will be coming back to work this Monday to finish off loose ends since it is a school holiday.   It was just a weird feeling.

 Well, not enough for an alcoholic!  But yes, I did tell him.  I talked him into getting something else.  Some Delsym.  It's what our doctor recommends. 

 

Lindley, you will love this next chapter of your life!

Well, he's being a complete ass hole. I've been cooking for the last two hours and he announced as soon as his beef stew is done he's eating and going to bed. I can deal with SS. I'm not sure if I should be mad or not.

 It's a sense of loss of what used to be part of your life.  i get that.

 Things are strange when they change.

But change is the spice of life.

 Take his beef stew and eat it. Obviously, he's much too tired to eat. Put DH to bed then take you and SS out somewhere fun.

It's hard finding a nice dress that covers all the bits and pieces without costing an arm and a leg.

Yes.

Been looking online.

Not finding what I want.

I have problems because I'm petite. Even though I wear a bigger size I have tiny shoulders. The dress may fit my boobs buy it will fall off my shoulders.

I haven't worn an actual dress in years.

 So don't.  Buy a pair of the pants that are like a long skirt, can't tell it is not a skirt unless you stand too wide, and a nice sparkly beaded top.  It's a nice look.

I need a drink. My Board of Directors is driving me crazy. I have 2 people on a staff of 60 that are trying to mount an insurrection, and even though no one else is with them, it's monopolizing my time and making everyone uncomfortable. It's a pretty hostile work environment and I can't do anything about it. The 2 are harassing and bullying the others and I can't do anything about it because legal told me not to (retaliation). It's ridiculous.

---

 Well. You kill'me with kindness while giving them just enough rope to hang themselves.

I've had to walk that tight rope. 

I don't envy you.

 Pretty much what I am doing. But the others in the company shouldn't have to put up with the bullying and harassment. In any other situation, I would write them up or fire them. But I can't and I don't want the staff to think I am ignoring it or that I don't care. It's a mess. 

It's going to be rather cool tomorrow, with temps in the minus 36 range with the wind chill.
That's about minus 31 in Fahrenheit.
We're rounding up the homeless and taking them to shelters.
I have an appointment for a Pap test in the morning. I'm going to cancel. I don't want to go outside at all.
It's going to last all weekend, so we may even blow off Valentine's Day.
It's the kind of weekend you curl up with the sled dogs and don't venture outside the igloo.
It's definitely a three dog night.

Time to whoop his a$$. Or at least take off for the afternoon tomorrow and let him deal on his own.
