Spread your wings and fly away

A man and a woman who have never met before find themselves in the
same sleeping carriage of a train. After the initial embarrassment,
they both manage to get to sleep, the woman on the top bunk,
the man on the lower. In the middle of the night, the woman leans
over and says, "I'm sorry to bother you, but I'm awfully cold and
I was wondering if you could possibly pass me another blanket."
The man leans out and, with a glint in his eye, says, "I've got
a better idea, let's pretend we're married."
"Why not," giggles the woman.
"Good," he replies, turning over, "Get your own damn blanket."

This is a story of two elderly people living in a mobile
home park in Florida.
He was a widower and she was a widow.
They had known one another for a number of years.
One evening there was a community supper in the Club House, and the widower and widow made a
foursome with two other singles.
They had a wonderful evening and spirits
were high.
The widower sent a few admiring glances across the table,
and the widow smiled coyly back at him. Finally, he
plucked up his courage to ask her,
"Will you marry me?"
After about six seconds of careful consideration, she answered,
"Yes, Yes, I will."

The next morning, the widower was troubled.
Did she say 'Yes'or did she say 'No'?
He couldn't remember. Try as he would, he just
could not recall.
He went over the conversation of the previous evening,
but his mind was blank. He remembered asking the question,
but for the life of him he could not recall her response.
With fear and trepidation,he picked
up the phone and called her.
First, he explained that he didn't
remember as well as he used to. Then he reviewed the
lovely evening past.
As he gained a little more courage he then inquired
of her,
"When I asked if you would marry me, did you say 'Yes' or
did you say 'No'?"
"Why, you silly man, I said 'Yes, Yes I will.'
And I meant it with all my heart."
The widower was delighted.

He felt his heart skip a beat.

Then she continued, "And I am so glad you called because I
couldn't remember who asked me."

Serves him right - his poor wife!

Hubby comes home.

"Can you update my CV for me and email it to this address?" he says excitedly.

Apparently it is a local company looking for electricians and he spoke to them on the phone today. They have asked for a copy of his CV.

Problem was though I was doing dinner at the time and could tell by his voice that this was to be done NOW!

"Ok, but keep and eye on the spuds for me" says I knowing they were coming to a boil.

Several minutes later and the cv is updated and emailed to the company. We sit and chat, knowing I have at least another 10 mins before I need to dish up.

Oh no!

Why?

Because he didn't keep an eye on the spuds, they boiled dry!

His excuse "You just told me to watch them you didn't say what I had to do"

Forgot he is a man and cannot think for himself lol!!

I phoned in sick today.

This is not something I do often.

Yesterday I came home from work with pain in the calves of both leags and could barely walk. Last night I spent trying to get comfortable and hoping that the pain would cease.

it didn't.

This morning it felt ok, until I started to move around and Ouch! The pain is back, my legs are stiff and walking is a nightmare.

I just feel so down about it all I feel like crying.

I hate feeling like this, this isn't me!

I have an appointment at last with the doctor for Friday and I had to fight tooth and nail for that. If the receptionist had asked just one more time if it was urgent I would have screamed!!!!!!!!!!!!!

In the meantime I am wallowing in the comfort of my own home in self pity.

It is dark, it is raining, storm is approaching I can feel it, even the dogs are madder than usual!
