Well, I’m awaiting a new day, new week, and a new opportunity for sympathy. My husband of almost 4 months is getting 5… yes, FIVE… teeth pulled tomorrow. I’m not very good with sympathyzing at times. I’m not a big fan of whining, therefore, dealing with pain can be a challenge (both my own and others’). I adore this man I now have committed my life and living with, I’m just not sure how well he’s going to cope and how quickly he will hopefully heal. He has requested Ensure, chicken noodle soup, and lots of loving care. I’m up for the challenge… just don’t know how excited I am about any blood or gauze changing, or… yuck. For his last day of normalcy, we have dedicated the afternoon to football (big surprise). I’ve taken a nap, done laundry, washed dishes, prepared meals and snacks, checked my email, prepared books for the wait in the doctor’s office, cheered on what I can understand of the game, and asked a plethora of what I’m sure are annoying questions at the very times he wished I would leave him be to enjoy the game in peace. It’s been a fun time. Haha.

I do have to say that he dedicated most of the day yesterday to me and what I wanted… I love movies. We couldn’t agree on what to go see, so he decided we should have a double play. Two movies in one day?! I think I just fell in love a little bit more. His choice was “I Am Legend.” I cannot recommend it. Although I am a big fan of Will Smith, I am not a fan of anything scary with the potential to enter my dreams and haunt my very powerful imagination. I kept picturing these horrible aggressive zombie people coming in my house. Yes, even while I was awake. I couldn’t wake Tony, because I just knew that if I jarred him, he would turn and look at me with those same wild eyes, open his mouth, and rip me to shreds. Maybe tonight will be a little better. Our second movie (obviously my choice) was “27 Dresses.” It was predictable, mildly funny, but easy to watch and still entertaining. I appreciated him taking me. A day of movies for a day of football - it’s an okay trade.
