Not Our Best Weekend

Still having server problems. Please see note at top of my March 25^th posting.

This past weekend proves that Ginny & I do not handle unstructured time well.

Friday I’d cleaned the yards, vacuumed the house, washed all the dishes, and done all sorts of household chores in advance, clearing the field so we could have uninterrupted time together to do anything we wanted.

Problem is that there was nothing we wanted to do all that much.

“What would you like to do?”

“I don’t know. What would you like to do?”

“I don’t know. What do you have in mind?”

“Nothing really. Anything you want….”

We fell into the trap of me suggesting things — everything from a walk in the woods to dance lessons and everything in between — and her rejecting my every suggestion but not offering any of her own.

We’ve been here before. Can’t stay married and in love for 38 years without hitting a few bad patches like that.

We ended up —even though there were beautiful Spring days outside — vegging on the couch watching videos of movies we neither one really wanted to see.

In spite of what the preachers say, even for Christians not all days are happy, happy, happy. Some days are just a waste…. And that’s where we’re at at the moment.
