Vince was supposed to be leaving Monday for 12 days of fishing in Florida. I’m not sure which of us was looking the most forward to that trip. I was thinking . . no trips to town; no cooking except what I want to cook; no TV. I had even planned to get some “deep cleaning” done around here. Even though I’m definitely not the best housekeeper, it was so much easier getting things done while Vince was gone. I find myself putting off vacuuming and dusting and wiping down blinds . . til he’s outside, and then I end up getting busy with something else and those things aren’t getting done often enough.
Mostly, I was thinking that Vince needs some time “off” and he would have enjoyed spending time with his old college friend and being back in Florida where he’s spent some of his youth.
After my trip to the hospital, he’s decided not to go to Florida. He was having some second thoughts about going and leaving me here for almost two weeks to take care of everything here so I think, even though he was looking forward to the trip, he’s a bit relieved about not being gone that long.
So, now . . things will be normal here next week. I will not be home alone. Vince will not be in Florida . . life will be normal around here. After the last few days, normal will be good!

I’m glad that he is staying with you. Now I won’t have to worry about you quite as much!
Carolyn says
I’ll come stay with you while he fishes and you can teach me how to knit.

In tis case I am glad he did not go.also happy you are home and doing well!
Susan says
Maybe they can reschedule at another time. He’s retired. He doesn’t have to wait for any particular date. =) If he’s concerned about two weeks, then maybe less. Right now, he probably does need to be there for you, and to reassure himself that you are okay.

You know … things happen for a reason. I wonder if we’ll ever know the real reason you wound up in the ER, which made Vince cancel his trip? Hmmmm …. whatever – like everyone else I’m glad he’s staying home THIS time. 😉

Oh fooey. My comment ^ sounds really stupid. We know why you wound up in the ER. DOH! Okay, never mind. It’s late and I should [obviously] be asleep. LOL!
