February?! Already?!
I’m not sure how it happened but it’s February. 1/12 of 2010 is finished. The end of January brought the Official Layoff Announcement and I now have 57 (calendar, not work) days left at the Evil Corporate Job.
Last week was a lost cause due to a cold that knocked me flat. I have to admit that I may have not fought back as hard as I could have. Or as hard as I would have in other times. I started feeling a sore throat Tuesday night in the middle of the night. By Wednesday at choir I was using the Think Method more than actually singing. Thursday was a lousy day at the office and Friday was Work from Home Day.
By Friday I felt bad enough that Work from Home meant work from bed. And here is where the story begins to take a turn from the usual way this would unfold in my life. Knowing that I was sick, G proactively asked if he could bring over dinner and “anything else you need.” I gave him a list of cold medicines and he actually brought them all; it came to almost $50 because he bought the bigger boxes because he said he “didn’t know how long you’ll need this stuff.”
On Saturday, it was an effort to move from the bed to the couch and I spent the day snoozing on the couch, watching movies with DS2. I needed to get dog food by dinner time but just couldn’t make myself put on clothes and navigate the cold and snow to go get it. G told me NOT to go and that he would bring over dog food — and dinner again.
He also brought flowers.

It’s a good thing you’re marrying him.

How great it is that God brought you two together. You really are perfectly yoked – that was so apparent when we got to hang with you. Praying for many more weekends of snuggling in bed, flowers, and movies for you two- without the sickness of course.

I’m with the others. He is definitely the Marrying Kind. I’m so glad that you two found each other.
