Sick of being sick

My goodness I'm sick of being sick!  My cohabitator gave me mono this summer and it's been kicking my ass ever since.  I got over it initially but I have had two flareups since getting it and this is one of them.  It's rough.  It's hard to not be mad at her either since she got it "sharing a cigarette" with a friend.  She has horrible health/hygiene habits and it's frustrating because I end up with her problems because of nothing I do beyond kissing my wife.  Well she can kiss my ass.  I'm sick of being sick. 

I am thankful I am thankful

In my endevor to become more thankful, last night I tried to think of things I was thankful for about my wife and there was really nothing I could come up with which is sad.  Some of it could have been my mood because she had done a few things yesterday that disheartened me but this morning I was able to pick out two characteristics of our relationship I was thankful for. 
The characteristics of my wife that I am thankful for today are 1) her humor.  she does have a good sense of humor when she's in the mood for it...or rather, she has MY sense of humor.  She gets my quirky jokes and can laugh about the same things.  That's a good connection we have when the moons align and I really am thankful for that.  That's one of the things that attracted me to her in the beginning.  2) She was doing a good job helping our son with his homework this morning.  She's horrible at helping him with his math but today it was his geography and she did a good job.  She's not always patient, but today she was patient with him.  So I am thankful that I was able to be thankful because when I went to bed I sure didn't feel like there was much to be thankful for in my relationship.  I'll keep my eyes open for other instances! 

Hidden

What is it I hold, what is it I got
From a the time that we were together
Til the that time we were not
It is small, it is simple and only time can take
It is something special I hold dear
It is something so real something not fake
What is it I hold, what is it I got
It is in my mind oh so fresh
It is hidden away in that secret spot
It is my memories of you
It is the thoughts that we shared
It is adoration that is ever new
No one will know
No one will see
Love that did grow
My love for thee

Did I mention

Did I mention I'm going to go see a coupe of these dudes this spring?

Generally speaking I try to keep a fairly intellectual, honest and original blog filled with my own thoughts and things I find interesting.  I stumbled on this quote though and it was too funny and true not to reshare.

Give me hope

So give me hope in the darkness that I will see the light
Cause oh they gave me such a fright
But I will hold as long as you like
Just promise we'll be alright

But hold me still, bury my heart on the coals
And hold me still, bury my heart next to YOURS
