I woke up at six this morning and instantly panicked, as we’re supposed to be at work for 6am. Then I remembered that she’s having a day off. It’s just a shame my body clock didn’t remember.
The plan was to go away for the weekend, but Julia came home from work with a stinking cold on Friday, which put paid to that. Despite a regular supply of hot lemon she’s sitting in a corner of the living room coughing, sneezing and sniffing.
It’s the constant sniffing that’s most irritating.
However, part of the deal when we got married was “for better for worse” so I don’t really have any option. At least when I was in and out of hospital earlier this year I (mainly) suffered in silence and didn’t interfere with her TV viewing.
As part of our 30th wedding anniversary celebrations I’m thinking we should renew our vows. This time I think we should include “obey”, which was somehow omitted from the last lot, and give some serious thought to the “worse”.
Oh, poor Julia! Across the pond, I sympathize with her. Hope she is better soon! And isn’t her birthday right around the corner? No fair getting a cold.
The birthday has gone, but the present has yet to be bought… We just had a day away and she is starting to rally.
30 years is not to be sniffed at. I wish her well – for her own sake, of course.
Thanks – she’s getting better slowly, though she seems strangely reluctant about the “obey” thing. 🙂
You old curmudgeon! 🙂 I hope Julia feels better soon. The cold I’ve recently had was a stinker and the cough still lingers after over a month.
She’s a little better today , thanks. 🙂
Have you any idea what’s going on in America right now? Well, Donald Trump became our president and the shit hit the fan. We women are having no more of you men, to put it bluntly. So it’s NOT the time to be looking for “obey”.
If you hear sniffling – you show up with some tissues and a kiss. And maybe some more hot lemon. ; )
This is going to take some thinking about. Apart from the concept of becoming nice and caring, I’m worried about administering a lethal dose of hot lemon. 🙂
Here’s to you and Julia having many more wonderful years together! I hope she gets over her cold soon. I know exactly how she feels right now. 🙂
She’s feeling slightly better now thanks, though there’s a long way to go.
