Could be that I woke up a wee bit late to go work out but Mom and I still went (Drew has been taking a couple of weeks off due to an ankle injury, I am worried that he is going to need surgery sooner than later)
The roads seemed deserted as we drove to the gym and I concentrated extra hard on my driving abilities. I just knew I was going to slam into the sad red truck that was waiting at the end of the street from where I hit it yesterday.
We got to the gym and it was so very crowded there wasn't even two treadmills to spare... this Never happens!
On our way home again the roads were bare, I got home and my "ghost" roomate was actually around.
Things just seemed a little twilight zonish to me today. Could be the massive headache I am suffering from, could be the sore neck and back muscles results of driving into a parked car but it is a weird day.
This past weekend Drew, Mom and I went and got our nails did... yes Drew went too and he LOVED it!
Mom had been wanting to get them done for a while and we finally made it a date.
There is something about getting your nails done that makes you feel extra special and ladylike. Mom and I used to go all the time in Abilene but I think this is the first time I have gotten to go with her since she's been here. I have missed it so very much!
Now may I brag about this man for a moment... He is such a delight. I appreciate and Love his ability to step out of his comfort zone and be open to new experiences like getting a pedicure. He embraces new ideas just to be with me more. My Mom lights up when he is around, sometimes more so then when she sees me and I love it! They banter back and forth, make each other laugh, and feel loved. He is one of the people who continually treats my Mom like nothing is different about her. Sometimes it makes me sad that he didn't know who she was before the disease... before the changes but he tells me he wouldn't want to know her any other way because to him she is just "Ollymollsies" (I don't know where he came up with that name.) It is so important to me to be able to spend time with these two people together and they don't care what we do they just love to hang out together.
I was shopping at United after work on Valentine's Day waiting for Drew to get off and noticed all the men panicking last minute looking for some card or leftover flower arrangement to bring home. My mind immediately went to Drew waiting for me at work at 8:45 am with a huge bouquet of flowers. He is attentive, loving, and never takes advantage of our time together by making every moment special. He adores me and my Mom... what more can a girl ask for?
