Today has not been good. I woke up not feeling quite right and really exhausted. I found it difficult to get myself going to do anything. This afternoon, Saskia, the daughter who caused all the aggravation while we were in Dublin went to look at a flat. She has decided that she wants to move into it. Guess who gets to pay the first months rent and deposit ....... We do. Actually let me rephrase that .... I do.
Yes, lucky, lucky me, I am the one around here who saves money and tries to plan for the future. I am the only one who has the money for this. Perhaps it is time to just spend every penny that comes my way so I am not the mug they all turn to. I must be stupid.
This whole issue has really upset me this afternoon and left me with yet another bad head ache which is now verging on a migraine. It's all down to stress again. I wish that I could take off somewhere and just get some peace. Even a good nights sleep would help, but I always lay awake half the night. My husband knows this but still says " did you not sleep well"!
Actually, I was thinking about the issue of how well we know each other earlier today. I have been married to Simon for nearly 28 years and I came to the conclusion that he either doesn't know me at all, or, he knows me very well and uses the information to irritate me! Neither is a good scenario!!
I started thinking about this while we were in the supermarket today. He asked me if I wanted oranges and when I said "no" he said how about melon? I have never eaten either. In the car on the way home he offered me grapes ....... I have never eaten grapes! I have lost count of the number of times that he has got pecan danish pastries and offered me one ... don't like those! Then there are hash browns ....... He did get me a bar of chocolate tonight as I am not feeling too good, but then he offered to put it in the fridge! I hate hard cold chocolate. The list could go on endlessly.
Is it important, some of you are probably wondering?
I expect there are things that I don't know about Simon too, but I do know the basics such as what he likes to eat. Maybe it isn't important to men to remember what they no doubt regard as trivia. The thing is, I feel unimportant if these silly little things aren't remembered. I wonder what other people think? How well do you know your partner / husband / wife?
I think I might amuse myself by doing a questionnaire for Simon and then comparing our answers. We could do it the other way round too, so we can see if I really do know him. Nothing much else to do this evening and my head is killing me. At least it was sunny today. Simon would be able to tell you that I like the sun!
