Seems we have so many little traditions tucked away in our life over 43 years – everyone does.

Yesterday, I shopped Cost*o on home care day, so was alone. I walked to the check – in area but had no cart – he always gets the cart.

Then I walked by the books and almost turned to tell him to browse thru them while I grab loaves of bread.

Got to the checkout and inadvertently handed her his card – have to shred his – it kind of hit me.

As I wheeled my full cart away, I looked longingly at the deli/food counter – and kept on walking – our berry fruit yogurt sundae held no appeal alone. We always have a sundae after shopping, always.

But, in all the sadness, a big ray of sunshine in the person of one of my favorite patients. She bumped into me – literally – at the meat counter – I love her. We are both busy, well, I’m not busy, just can’t get away – once we discussed schedules, it worked out the first week we had free was just after Thanksgiving – can you believe that? Well, she is going to Mexico for 3 weeks!

So a negative and a positive = no big problem over all:)

(1) Told him I was considering getting a perm.

“Well, I’m not!”

He loves his own humor and I do, too.

(2) Suggested he gargle with salt water – kills bacteria, you know.

“And me, too.”
