Married...Happily...

So happy my husband is going to be home for a few days with me.  It will make the sadness of the week's beginning easier.  Had a full house over the weekend and when that happens, the following Monday is usually a big, old, letdown.  My husband needs a few mental health days and some time to decompress, as he says.  We all know that feeling.

 We have been dealing with so much lately, especially him.  We are learning all that the both of us can about Parkinson's and he is reading Michael J Fox's biography.  He gets stiff and shaky but his meds seem to be helping him out.  He has told me that he's having no specific side effects so far.  So relieved about that because with all the drugs on the market sometimes the worst part of the drugs are the side effects no matter how much they help out.  I love how when you read the little booklet and it explains the side effects it always says something like "Your doctor recommended this medicine because the benefits of it will outweigh the negative side effects."  I laugh every time.  It's true but when are they going to make something that helps with no side effects?    

My husband and I went out to dinner and to listen to some music last night.  It was just so nice after all these stressful weeks and days to just talk with someone you love and just BE!  We had a fantastic time - tapas and sangria and then a little blues and wine.  We so needed a night out and like the old people we are we were home in by 1130pm! LOL!  We used to stay out until 1 am or even after when we'd have a night out.  It was not THAT long ago.  Now we sometimes just look forward to watching SNL no matter how unfunny it may be and just sitting on our couch sipping some wine and enjoying each other's company.    

I don't know what I would do with out the support of my husband lately.  So thankful for him!
