Two things hit me today. The first is that the body is a remarkable thing; it will adjust to the environment in an almost imperceptible manner. I went out today. I put on a sweater-blouse and a sweater-sweater over it. By the time I got to the end of the road, I was sweating. I checked the temperature and was shocked to see that it was 57 degrees. Less than a year ago, 57 degrees would have been cold for me. Now it’s too warm for a long sleeve sweater. I snickered to myself as I chastised myself for not wearing a short-sleeve shirt.
The other thing that hit me was how bad situations can turn into good things with just the right attitude. My manager’s sudden schizoid behavior forced me to re-focus. The whole mess made me realize that it really is just a job and that hubby was more important. It made me tell my boss that me working this Saturday, the last full day I will see hubby for 2 weeks, was just not acceptable. So now I am staying home with hubby on Saturday guilt-free.
My mother always said that every disappointment was for a good (thing). And frankly, I think she was wise and correct in saying it. It was a hard lesson, but I learned that pleasing the boss isn’t always the best course of action.
I go into this week feeling good with myself (I’ve been walking and working and adjusting- it’s a great accomplishment for me, all of that), yet dreading the next 2 weeks. This will be our first separation as husband and wife and I am NOT looking forward to 2 weeks without him. I can’t think how I used to survive for months at a time without him. Amazing to me how I still feel… like a newly wed. Still. Amazing!
Literally, this is all my fairy-tale dreams for a life come true! Mom was right … I must be blessed!
