6. Morning Marketeers...

and lurkers. Ok, so it isn't morning, but I won't be able to post tomorrow, so I can do it now. I am still recovering from the really draining clinic I had the other day. The day was one mishap after another. After a long slog home, hubby locked the top door lock, leaving me to pound on the door, trying to wake him up to let me in before my diuretic kicked in again. Did you know you can burn a crock pot dinner? I was extra crabby and fried. He made the mistake of asking me how my day went.

I made a conscience choice many years ago not to talk too much about what I do at work. Many Nurses are a lot like policemen in that respect. It sometimes is too sad and horrible that you don't want to depress or bore your spouse. Now, I can talk to my Nurse buds and they totally understand.

But last night I was just too through. So when he made the rather flippant observation, I told him just what my day was like. He actually winced more than once when I told him about the abuse I had to document and what some of these kids went through. After I had gotten it off my chest, he was quite for a long, long, time. He asked how often it was like this. I told him it was like this more than it should. I told him that I didn't tell him about my days because there was no point in 2 people feeling sad.

And then he apologized to me. I asked him why and he said something really sweet. He said he remembered all the times that he had come in of late bitching about his job and wanting to retire before me and how petty and selfish that seemed. He understood now why I got so upset with him when he said that. I just had no idea he kept saying. Needless to say, his eyes were opened.

I don't know how much longer I will be at this, but it is starting to wear on me. At least I will not have to explain myself to him again.

Happy hunting and watch out for the bears.
