Well, this originally was supposed to be a personal
account of how we spent 30 days in isolation but it has now turned into 76 days,
with very little hope of it ending anytime soon.
My husband and I like to give each other space and though
we are close, we are not attached at the hip every single minute of every
single day. So, having a spouse as the only source of
conversation was a bit of a strain for the first few days. We adjusted and it
looks like we will be celebrating our 57th anniversary next month.
On Day
70 I wasn't so sure..
That's when we really started to claim our
territory...and our snacks.
\
When I go shopping, I buy Anthony his special snacks and
I buy myself my special snacks. The reason being is that we each like separate
goodies. I don't have a problem with
that. What's his is his; What's mine is mine.
But on Day 66, I reached for a Tupper Ware container that
held my favorite cookies and thought there should have been more in there. But, I
could have been wrong so I let it go. These are cookies I only snack on occasionally,
so maybe I was forgetful about how many were left.
The next evening, Day 67, I went to the freezer to get a scoop of
my raspberry/chocolate cheesecake ice cream.
It's one of my favorites and he doesn't
like raspberry anything, or so he says. It had been awhile since I had indulged
so I couldn't remember whether the amount was as I left it or not. Again, I wasn't
sure so I served myself a nice amount which left only one more serving in the
container.
Flash forward to Day 70.......We're watching TV and I get
up to get the last serving of my favorite ice cream and I can't find the
container.
Are you following me here?
Since there are only 2 of us in the house, I KNEW!!!!!
I turned and just looked at him. I couldn't believe he had broken the unwritten
law of "Hands off other people's snacks". And yet I said nothing.
To be continued...........
