I love the new Playtime Pink Palace that Ron built.

I just finished the dishes.  It is 3:30.  I started them about 12:30.  Ron is back in bed where he has been for most of the day, he is very tired and not feeling well.  I went through that for a few days, ending it seems with left over draggy feelings today.

So again why do I love the new place for me, well let me explain.  Ron has painted it in colors I picked and like.  I do spend most of my waking time in this room.  Plus he put up shelving everywhere and anywhere I asked.  But what makes it work so well for me doing dishes is the rather expensive monitor arms he not only agreed to but insisted I buy.  These are the more expensive one than I was pushing for, but damn they work so well!  So when I do dishes or other stuff in the kitchen, all I have to do is swivel the monitor arm towards the door and change the angle of the monitor by turning that.   It is so simple and easy.  With my headphones on and the 32-inch monitor on full screen, I can see everything as well as I could if I was in the room sitting at my chair.  

Don’t tell him, but the expense was worth it, and I agree with and love his choice. He is determined this move will be what I want in every way.  I can understand.  Not only have I been … suffering from my past, but I was willing to give up everything to provide a space for James.  Then as we worked on what James wanted, James found a relationship that did not include us and moved out.  Sudden shift of plans.

It is OK, it allowed Ron and I to totally redesign what we had thought we wanted for the house, giving Ron a much larger living room and the place his “living room” stuff is now will become the new dining room, which made far more sense to begin with.  

But Ron is not going to be happy until the new room for me is everything I ever could want.  I admire him for his devotion to me, but I am not insisting on that level of satisfaction.  But it is so grand he is wanting to do it.  He is definitely a husband worth keeping as we start our 34th year together.   Loves and hugs or best wishes.  Scottie
