Your DH is in the hospital because he needs care. He has not been well, with 2 heart attacks and another recent procedure. When he is well enough, he will come back to your apartment. 4 -

Morning ladies
Here with Miles he is sleeping and has been since 7:30 is dark and rainy today..
Will do some laundry and get some things picked up this afternoon..1 -
Morning, afternoon and evening, all...
Katla - my heart goes out to you, we're here to listen. Patience is so hard...
Rori - Good to see your smiling face, and Max's fuzzy mug, as well - how's life with your new roomie?
Heather - That's hilarious... Reminds me of my Apostolic preacher, paternal grandfather's house. Every piece of furniture was covered in some evil, soft, thick plastic, and if you sat on the couch in a dress, or (unapproved) pair of shorts, every bit of exposed skin would stick to it. There were plastic runners laid down over the carpet, and down the hallways, that showed you exactly where you were allowed to walk, and the original cellophane, crinkly covers were still on the lamps. The dining chair cushions were still covered in the original plastic. The smell in the house was indescribable... sort of sweaty chemicals mixed with southern food like turnip greens. Hadn't thought of that in YEARS.
Boring house stuff:Interesting weekend. We got the back wall of the house largely finished - although we need to replace the back door completely. I took a picture of it, but it was the wrong time of day, so it's almost impossible to see, and had to adjust it, because there was too much in shadow.
The fascia board top left will be covered by the someday-patio roofline by husband intends. (Did not ask "When?" because, well, because I knew I wasn't climbing a ladder to get it done.)
I did the grocery shopping in the early morning, and when I got back, turned right around and went back to Lowe's with him to get the paint color chosen and mixed, at his request.
We chose a deep teal, as you can see, with gray undertones--and the trim is bright white. The back wall is the longest wall on the entire house, about 30 feet long. The rest of the house is almost all stone, with minor amounts of siding. (We're tearing off the siding wall by wall, repairing the T111 underneath, and waterproofing and painting it.) The only other significant amount is under the carport, thank goodness, so weather won't be an issue.
After hitting two grocery stores and then Lowe's for paint, I had to curl up on the couch and try to get the pain and exhaustion to subside, so Corey was stuck with the painting, but he did a great job, and I think it actually helps when I'm not out there to say, "You missed a spot." Also helps that I'm learning that I'm not going to die from exhaustion, and he's learning that crying just means I've pushed myself too far again, and I'm not going to die, I just need to rest.
We've been together 14 years this month, and married for 13, and have to say, this isn't my favorite phase so far. Like my sister told me many years ago, "Do not EVER pray for patience, because the good Lord doesn't give you patience. He gives you the opportunity to LEARN patience." I guess I'm learning.
Time to get my pills put together for the week...
Later, y'all,
Love,
Lisa

Max was dropped off around 10.40 and, after a chat and some old pub games that DH showed him, we set off to catch the bus into town. We were a bit early for the fish restaurant, so we went and said hello to the sea!
At 12.00 the restaurant let us in. Max and DH had fish and chips and I had hake in caper sauce. I'm sure I said boiled potatoes, but chips (fries) turned up and I couldn't turn them down. 
They are fabulous.
The sun was shining when we finished so we walked back along the seafront. Here are the besties, chatting away as they amble along.
I have just had a nap and am going down to have a cup of tea . They are still chatting.
My son is coming at 4 to pick him up and then I have Zoom with my girlfriends.
Love Heather UK xxxxxx

This point of my relationship with the mister has been very difficult too. We didn't argue at all for the first 12 years of our relationship. Maybe a very short disagreement, but nothing major. After that point, middle age hit and we were both burnt out on our jobs, we started feeling aging, and things just got difficult. We started losing patience with each other. Several years (10) later, we are both still feeling the effects of burnout and are having to relearn patience, which I think is avoidance on my part. I tend to walk away rather than argue with someone who will never, ever see my point of view.

We went to early voting today. So glad to get it over with. Georgia is one of those states that will determine a lot of what happens in the future.

Tina - Both of us are inveterate conflict avoiders, so one of us is going to walk away every time. Luckily, we don't stew, though, so eventually it all works out. I did get tickled yesterday when we were each working on what we wanted for dinner--he wanted chili, which I just can't eat anymore, and I wanted chicken parmesan.
I know that he gets very twitchy when anyone is within six feet of him in the kitchen. He thinks he's clumsy (he's not), so I don't get too het up about it. I told him I was happy to wait, but he was determined that I would be able to cook mine at the same time on the stovetop... By the time he was done putting his chili together, he was halfway in the laundry room reaching the big spoon around the corner to stir his pot. He wanted so much to be accommodating, but he was so uncomfortable, he just couldn't. Funny that he didn't know how hard that would be for him.

Still waiting for referrals. My online health record wouldnt load, the military's setup, and its just been updated so lots of kinks to iron out. It said I have two messages so hopefully we can access it today. I sent a message off to my general doctor last night, saying its been since last Monday since I had any bowel activity, so getting frantic. I have had turkey wraps, a shrimp salad, a couple days of steak strips and veggies, and a couple days starting off with an Ensure protein drink. Doctor said eat fairly normal, no overly drinking water, nor taking any fiber or Mirilax, nor Milk of Magnesia.
Last night was awful, as I didn't take any pain meds. Part of what they do is give me constipation, so moaned thru it. Took 3 baths.
Life is not fun.

Hello ladies!
I had a medical scare but today I got results back and I'm fine! Yay! So then I have to get back to the diet and exercise routine. No more lounging around the house, even though I still have five new books to read. I bought them to get through the waiting. All murder mysteries with a female detective/cop.
I should go buy groceries and a Powerball ticket but I'm waiting for the sun to come out.

Heather--It's a man thing. DH gets so upset when I try and help or give ideas. I am slowly learning to keep my mouth shut and not let it get me so upset. Sure not easy.
Lisa--Your mom is very beautiful. That house sounds like my grandma on dad's side. Everything covered in plastic and runners to each room and you did not get off the runners. Kitchen was only room used. I got her 1957 singer sewing machine and it was like brand new and everything back in the packages after used. I gave it to my oldest sister as she has memories of her and grandma doing projects together.
It was a nice weekend. Went to the funeral and on the way home the friend who's mom passed texted me. One of the ladies serving the lunch asked his sister if the family knew who the biker people were, there was 3 of us, of if we just showed up to eat.
Was beautiful weekend 80-90's. Today cold and windy 46 so far and it is noon.
Blessings, Vicki GRAND ISLAND, NE 4
