Something good….. something good……
My husband is laid off this week, he has worked for the same company for almost 39 years, and because of the housing market, the mill where he works has been operating a week on a week off since 2008-ish. This month has been especially tight, and I have decided to put us on a very strict budget that we almost managed to stick to.
The good thing here is that he hates his job, and he’s a much much happier husband when he doesn’t have to go to work. He’s been teaching himself to play guitar for the last 7 or so years, and every day when I get home from work, he has learned a new song that I get to guess, I’m usually right, can anybody say WINNING. And he cleans the house so I don’t have to do it when I get home. I like coming home to a happy husband, and a clean house, and when I got home the other night, he was just about to light the first fire of the season in the fireplace. Nothing warms a house like a nice fire.
We have also decided to go “on the wagon” to allow our livers to heal a little, and we haven’t touched a drop since November 1st, it’s amazing how much better I’m sleeping without a little help from my friend Ambien.
