Absentee

Adoring Husband was absent from around 5am when he left to catch the early morning train to Brisbane to visit the Parkinson’s professor.

He woke me to say goodbye and of course I couldn’t get back to sleep so I got out of bed and made myself some breakfast and a cup of tea, then sat in the lounge room and watched the rest of the movie that I started the night before on Netflix.

I left the house at 8.15am and rode my trike to work.

Halfway there I stopped to chat with Bonanza Man.

He purchased a house and moved to town in early January and has a 9 yr old blue healer called Braxton. He’s a lovely man and is so far very happy to have chosen this town to retire to.

I got to work at 8.40am but had to visit the supermarket before opening up. I still managed to do all of AH’s usual dirty work to open the shop by 9 am.

Not that it mattered because I only had three customers all day with very small sales. I haven’t checked but I think today was my lowest sales day for the year so far!

That’s ok.

I completed a lot of small fiddly jobs that I usually set aside in favour of the bigger jobs so by the end of the day, I felt like I’d been productive.

My cleaner came and did more talking than cleaning, but that’s ok too.

I had to rush home on my trike through soft rain and made it home about 20 minutes before the heavens really opened. We received about 2 hours of steady rain but I haven’t checked the gauge.

I spent the afternoon with my feet up watching Netflix.

I ate a very unhealthy meat pie for dinner - Beefy’s GF - and it’s sitting heavy in my belly. I’ll drink lots of water and wash it through my system.

AH should be home in about an hour and I’m already in bed watching the footy. I’m wondering whether I’ll still be awake when he arrives!

Nite all.
