Nope, I don’t surf, but if I did, this is what I’d look like, and I’d be blonde, too!
While he’s surfing, I’m cleaning the house and doing massive loads of his laundry that came home in the biggest black plastic garbage bag I’ve ever seen.
It’s so big, I could fit inside of it.
They have a washer/dryer on board; I suppose it’s much easier for him to stuff it in his suitcase and know that his live-in maid/laundress/cook will wash, dry, fold, and put it all away while he’s riding the wild surf.Â
Or maybe it’s a primitive vestigial trait just like the way a kitty brings a dead rat home and lays it at your feet.
Yeah, it’s just like that.
His laundry = dead animal prize.
No problem, Tugboat Man, you worked hard and deserve a little R & R. I saved my pilgrimage to South Coast Plaza for that perfect wedge ’til you came home so you could enjoy spending the day following me around the mall, too!
Payback and all that, right?
Right.I hope you have a ball.

Sure it is; it’s OK, after being gone for 6 weeks, I don’t mind doing his laundry. In fact, I do it all the time anyway cos I’m a control freak and like everything done my way. I do it all…:)

Would you really consider his clothes clean if they’d been washed on the tugboat? I don’t think I would. Good luck finding the perfect wedges!

Laundry in exchange for a trip to the mall? I’d take that bargain… seeing as how I already do all the laundry and all the dishes and all the pet chores and… Hmmm… at least the queen doesn’t like driving, or I’m sure I’d have to go to the mall all the time too.

Ha ha, yes I am! On Sunday, I slipped and fell when I was running up our back hill to look for coyotes and I think I broke my wrist! And then I got a 100 degree temp for no reason. So, I’m trying to figure out if it’s a break or a bad sprain cos I don’t feel like going to the doc. Wish your hubs was closer!

swollen, discolored, mostly in the hand area, not so much the actual ulna? or whatever the bigger bones are. I’m thinking it’s one or more of the smaller bones but it could just be ligaments. I can move all my fingers tho( obvs cos I’m typing) but some movements hurt so bad I could scream. I’ve had lots of broken ankles and toes but never a wrist! Thank you and thank your hunky brilliant hubs.

I’ll tell him. You poor thing. I have a sore shoulder and toe right now – one from something I did in the Spartan Race, the other from doing stuff without my shoes on.I can sort of empathize. It is NOT fun being broken, or even semi-broken. Take it easy. The weights will be there when you get back.
