SubscribeOne of my favorite shows is “Renovation Realities” on diy and occasionally hgtv. A new episode was on this morning about a couple by the last name of Fingers who are renovating their bathroom. The wife is extremely industrious and isn’t doing a bad job at all, but the husband…….does just about everything that you don’t want to do if you wish to keep your marriage intact: goes to the office intermittently throughout project; speaks for his wife, confusing her extreme anger toward him with “exhaustion” for not putting down his work phone, his laziness, whininess, and wrecking parts of her actually competent work; makes her take him to the ER for having a strained shoulder (well, no shit you’re going to probably wind up sore if you rip out the entire shower floor out yourself); turns off his neighbor’s water instead of his own house’s water; husband knocks the work of a friend who comes over who actually DOES know what he’s doing and repairs the drainage piping that was wrecked by the shower removal; and generally belittles everything around him while he delicately makes his “executive decisions” (his actual wording).
All of the above makes me very happy to be married to Mike.
Anywho, the past week and current weekend have been pretty calm. Mike had class only two days this past week due to previous professor commitments, plus he was able to work from home yesterday and got quite a bit accomplished. The dog got her yearly checkup at the vet, and I was poked in the eyes on Thursday at the eye doctor. We went to Wegman’s last night, and have started a Friday routine of getting a Wegman’s pizza made while we finish our grocery shopping. We’re pretty pleased with the pizza results, although we walked away with someone else’s pizza last night and didn’t realize it until we opened the box: pepperoni, mushrooms, black olives, and sausage, whereas we only ordered pepperoni and mushroom. It was very trashy and very good, but somewhere, someone else probably opened their pizza box and went “what’s this???”. Bern snagged some bits of sausage, but was even happier after we returned from a brief mall trip yesterday to price kitchen knives and returned with a chopping knife and chocolate. She obviously didn’t score any chocolate, but was happy to try.
HI!!
Wish we were there to eat pizza with you guys. I am glad that you appreciate the qualities that Mike bring to your marriage. I know I really appreciate your dad & all the help he gives with your Grandmother.
