Good day Fine REO Folk. Was heading back out to E Texas today but storms out there and too muddy. Going Tuesday. Friday got off late after too many hours doing labor work, lightly rained most of way. Spent and hour and half driving around the farm roads near coordinate (one lane but some form of cover over dirt, all named the same, using my phone "map it", with no road numbers displayed, and still couldn't find the farm. My GPS DVD is circa 2002 so no mapping on it and I need to learn how to put in lat/long coordinates to use it in the boonies. By the time I went out, drove around, headed back to Dallas, picked up DH at airport, and home it was an 18 hour day, ending at midnight, with 300 miles of driving with only one pee stop for me and one for Jake. (He wouldn't go till we got home.) Damn, I do love the very supportive seats of the PT Cruiser for my back and neck.
Was going to head out today but storms in E Texas so if there was any chance of driving part of way back to house it would have been mud and getting stuck for sure. Tuesday will get into tiny town early enough to ask around businesses exactly how to get to the road.
DH pulled a doozy on me Friday that multiplied my stress exponentially. He usually send me a text of flight home, fight number and approximate time. By 1640 I hadn't gotten anything from him. I texted and called for an hour and nothing!!! He's old, drivers down there are crazy, he drives unfamiliar rental cars, his work environment is not really safe, he's on US/Mexican border near where thousands of people get murdered by cartels........!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Finally at 1730 at the time he is usually at airport and waiting to board and when he sends me a text with flight number, estimated arrival time, and expected arrival gate, he texted he had two more patients and then was rushing to airport to hopefully make flight............ then he went silent till 2000, with no return text or calls, until he arrived at DFW and was taxing in to gate. DH, DAMN HUSBAND!!!!! was so tired and stressed he couldn't even empathize with me in the least bit about why I was so stress about his silence and failure to communicate with me. He said he was so busy he didn't even have time to eat or get back to his phone in his office to text me. THAT WILL NOT DO!!!!!!! He could have texted when he was standing to take a fast pee. And old men have to pee every few hours.
One of my calls to his voice mail I told him if something was wrong and he was in a ditch or dead or in hospital and didn't call back within an hour I was heading the 100+ more miles to Jen's house for moral support as I was still in E TX. He didn't get back with me but I refrained and started back to Dallas because if I wasn't there to pick him up life would have been hell for a few days and it would go down as a big RED X he keeps in his "Bad Alice" book and I would never hear the end of it till one of us died. Actually his pissedness and attitude would have been beyond my tolerance level and I would have been even more ...... at him than he with me.
So, he was so exhausted he passed out soon after we got home and slept late Sat morning and he didn't give me any lectures. He has been somewhat crabby but that's normal.
I often say I consider it a gift when he returns home safely to us but sometimes the gift doesn't taste so good and bites.
All is well. He's getting ready to freeze off a small wart I've had on one finger for several years. Bothers the heck out of me and I pick at it all the time. It's only about 1mm but really bugs me. Before my braces I would bit it off but it goes deeper than I can get with my teeth.
Having left over cabbage rolls and fresh asparagus tonight.
Last night, in celebration (for what ever) we did real, real thick bacon BLTs. We have turkey bacon, too, but decided to go all out. Sooooooooooooooo Yummy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Oh I know what the celebration was.... Masters movie on Dish. We were both so bored!!!!!!!!!!!! How does a movie like that get 3.5 stars???????????!!!!!!!!!!!!! Hey, we love foreign films, and talky films, and old ones but come on....... we kept waiting for it to get good or actually say something. So then we did "Six Souls." I adored it. DH couldn't stay awake. He just finished it and I watched it again and he was unimpressed with it and had all kinds of criticisms, as usual, about how movies, media, and our culture are so harmful and going to ...... So may crazy, to us, religious beliefs and cults that directly affect our safety and our life style, and freedoms as Americans with so much crazy fanatical religious nuts taking over our governing systems, local, state, national. Stay out of my house, my bedroom, and my womb, DANMIT!!!!! (Okay to protect abused viable persons any age, though.) Small rant over.
Glad Val got out of house. Gil, I'm so happy for you. When I had tumor removed from foot, with split open a couple of inches through my foot between toes, I did have a nice big footed iron tub to hang my foot out of but I was in my 20's so I could "move" and maneuver much better then.
Hope all are well or improving. Stay safe. Find and give some happy.
Hugs and love, Feisty Alice
