Sorry about yesterday! What A F-ed Up Day! Wow! Lasik Surgery! Yippee! I am blind as a bat. I qualify too for the surgery but no money or means of getting any loans. Maybe someday. Let us know if you can see without glasses or contacts! How exciting!

Yikes, Ramona!!

We all have days like that. But in the end, if the people we care

about listen to us and try to make up for it, it makes us feel a

little better.

For example, last Sunday evening Dave took me country & western

dancing. He's a regular, and he's got tons on dancing buddies. I'm

a newbie and know almost no one. Dave and I danced a few two-steps,

then his buddies came around, and he got swept away.

I don't mind him dancing with his buddies (both of us dance with our

square dancing buddies with no problem), and everytime there was a

slow dance, he came over and took me out to the dance floor. But

while I was alone, I saw an ex of mine from 14 years ago--a total

pile of trash who left me with $18000 in credit card debt that

temporarily ruined my credit. I worked and sacrificed for two years

to pay off that debt.

That pile of trash doesn't recognize me, I think, and he's gained 50

lbs and is now morbidly obese. Anyway, every time I saw the pile, I

was alone and Dave was having fun on the dance floor. I got a bit

jealous, so when Dave came over to get me for another dance, I said I

wanted to leave.

He could tell I was not happy, and I told him why in the car. We

were both calm, and there were no harsh words (that is a GOOD sign!)

He was just kinda quiet for a while until we got to my place. I

expected him to drop me off and make a quick exit out of a messy

emotional situation, but he surprised me.

He said, " I think you need some hugs before I send you off to bed. "

That melted my heart. We went up to my place, and he held me for two

and a half hours while we talked about us, our expectations and how

to avoid bad feelings in the future.

It's amazing how far a hug can go to ease pain. I felt a lot better

afterwards.

Consider yourself cyber hugged! Feliz Dia de Las Madres (Happy

Mother's Day in Spanish, for those who need translation.)

Thank you everyone for your kind words. My husband at times is a real pain in the rear to say the least but I still love him in spite of it all.

Yesterday I did go and get my Lasik eye surgery and today I can see so much better. I was told not to be on the computer or watch TV or read or do basically anything yesterday. The ironic part of it all was since I can not see with out my glasses I looked what I though was very thoroughly for the missing lens and I could not find it. I move the bath room rugs and ran my hands over them to no avail. So what did I find yesterday the missing lens! How strange can that be and it was on the rug that I had moved and checked. Well I guess everything has a reason.
