Bubble Boy..

I'm not sure if I wasn't feeling well, or if I was just thinking and stressing again last night. I got us into to bed just past one, which is amazingly early for me. I was so proud. Unfortunately, I just lay there staring up at the ceiling ALL night long. I didn't fall asleep until around seven in the morning. I barely got an hour of sleep when the alarm went off for church. I felt absolutely miserable, and when Dave found out I hadn't slept, he made me get right back in bed. He said God would understand.. but I haven't felt right about it ever since. Those three hours of sleep did wonders for my health though, I'm certain of it. We set aside a bit of time for prayer, and I felt better.. but I still wish I would have been at church like I had meant to be.

Dave and I spent the afternoon running errands, getting a few grocery staples, and pharmacy medications. Mom and Wayne bought a new grill today. Its a beauty. They had a couple prescriptions to get today too, and while they were back in the pharmacy, they got a couple compliments on Dave and I. (Small towns are Nifty.. everybody knows who's related to everybody else, lol). Becki and Calida said Dave and I are THE SWEETEST people they have ever met, and no matter how the day goes we were always a treat to wait on, and nothing but politeness and smiles. Calida said we always make her day when she sees us. Mom had to come find me to tell me all about it, and I thought it was kind of adorable.

I spent the afternoon crafting a couple of things for a couple friends which kept me pretty busy. We all decided we needed to try out the new grill tonight.. so I bought stuff for a salad, and Mom and Wayne bought the pork steaks, mashed potatoes and corn. It was absolutely awesome, but I ate way too much. I think we all did. A bit more crafting fun after dinner, and then I helped Dave work on his speech exercises for awhile.

Dave's been kind of crabby today.. off in his own little bubble. I kept trying to talk to him and ask him things throughout the day to drag him back to the world of the living, but he wouldn't pay much attention to me at all. It's beyond frustrating when he's like that. I want to be mad at him, but really, I just miss him. I would have to repeat the same question three times before he would even register that I was talking to him, and another two times before he could understand what I asking. A lot of people like to joke around and tell me "that's just men for ya." Maybe. But it's not Dave. Or, it didn't used to be. So it's been a big adjustment for the both of us. It's very hard for me on days like today to KEEP trying to talk to him, when I just want to retreat into my own self and not even bother. That's a dangerous road to start traveling down though, and I refuse to go there.

IF Dave can get his homework done, and his shower finished in a timely fashion, we have plans to watch another borrowed rental tonight. Nancy Drew. I don't know that we'll fit it in, but we aim to try. Thank You for joining us this evening, and until next time, Much Love, Many Hugs, and Good Night to You All.
