This morning my husband told me “You broke protocol.”
I was annoyed as we overlapped doing the same chore and it could have caused issues, but it didn’t. I usually work on the computer in one room but today I was very quiet and after my exercises for my right hip began to work on the computer in my office area. The garage door was wide open and I did not see my husband. I wondered if I should watch the open area in case someone decided to stroll in off the street. I presumed he was in the backyard but he wasn’t.
Annoyed, I went to my office area and began working thinking ‘I will be dammed….if I have to watch the driveway for someone sneaking up…” It turned out my husband was working in the garage, so we overlapped on this one too.
Taking my time this morning, trying a few new exercises for the hip, I decided to make a nice keto friendly breakfast of eggs, cheese, leftover ham, and little pitas. This will be my lunch as it is later. I noticed the coupon for the grocery store sale on butter begins today. Great price. I said to my husband, “I will go on Friday after my visit to the doc.”
He said, “No, I will go this morning. Because by Friday, there won’t be any left.”
Feeling guilty, I remarked, “I can go.”
To which, he said, “No, I got it.”
The sense of urgency. I can appreciate it as it helps me get moving. A perfect job came up through a social media discussion between myself and another teacher for next year which would require me to be online and in an office making visits to the site from time to time. I have all the certifications.
I said to my husband, “I think I will send an email to the person she recommended tomorrow.”
He said, “Do it, now. I don’t know why you and Josh wait. It won’t be there.”
Okay, so I send it out and she told me ‘Apply, when the transfer period is here in another two weeks. Thanks.”
I found the perfect kitchen counter chairs-very elegant, great buy on marketplace. I showed them to my husband.
He said, “They are perfect. Let them know we are interested.”
After some chats back and forth, the person asked us to be there in one hour in Tarpon Springs which is over one hour from our house. The husband flew out the door and said, “Tell them. I am on my way.”
We got them and they are perfect. It was an estate sale, so the person I was chatting with wasn’t even there. It was the realtor who was selling the entire contents of a very upscale condo. We got a great buy.
So, late this morning I sat down to my omelet sitting in the chairs much improved from the uncomfortable director chairs (now on sale on Marketplace) while the husband raced to the store for the butter buy.
I love the man but breaking protocol is something I am familiar with. If that is the worst thing, someone can say about my timing I am okay with that. After all, I did find the buy on marketplace and I remembered the butter deal. We roll to different times and mostly we end up bringing different strengths to the table.
Enjoy your week!
Yesterday, I found a photographer for my book sleeve after a somewhat frantic search. I found the best person in the immediate area and she will come next week to take my photo. That little chore turned out to be more challenging then I realized as some photographers wanted to charge me anywhere from $200-500 dollars for a set. After being empathetic that is was not for a wedding shot, a glamour shot, or a reunion, I found the photographer I was looking for at the price I was looking for. There is also something to be said for waiting.
I hesitated to pull the trigger. I heard my husband say, “Go ahead, do it.”
She will be here next week to take the shot (1 for my book sleeve). We are thinking ‘garden’ with the pug if it is a nice day.
Sometimes you got to know when to pull that trigger. Move forward. If not, it helps to have the husband, nearby.
