Working on it.

Dear pavement....

Yeah, I know - how can you write a letter to inanimate objects? But still, it was really, really not nice of you to trip my husband yesterday while he was running. He spent an hour- an hour! getting stitched up, and that was after spending quite a while at urgent care. Stitches on his forehead, side of his head, inside his mouth and on his hand (which was pretty gouged up though I haven't seen what's under the bandages. His teeth were okay though.

Dear DH ( the spouse)

I love you but you're really an idiot! When you tripped on your run, only you would decide to take the bus all the way home and wait to borrow the son's car and go to urgent care three hours later. Really, you couldn't have called someone to pick you up? Or gotten off the bus at urgent care on the way home? And I can only imagine what the bus riders thought when you got on looking you had been in a bar fight or something. Sheesh! Glad I didn't see you until all the blood was cleaned up and you were stitched and bandaged.

And could you look where you're going next time?

You sound about like I would sound, if my DH did this.

I'm glad he wasn't hurt more seriously! I can understand taking a while to decide that a doctor is necessary, especially if there's no mirror nearby to show how bad you look. But I would not have wanted a bleeding person near me on the bus -- I probably would have asked if he needed any help.

Actually, it happened (of all places) right in front of a bike shop... and although it was before their opening hours, their door was open and he went in and used their restroom to clean up, and got some first aid stuff they gave him to start with. So he would have seen how he looked. Oh, and I forgot to mention the black eye.

azfiddle - Ouch! that must have been some fall.

Yesterday was my day to work at my other job. The Bike Hermit is on a bike tour this week so I had to leave the shop closed. Put a note on the door, etc. Got home (we live above the shop) and there were 4 shipping boxes sitting INSIDE the bike shop - I know all the doors were locked. Emailed our property mgr and he said none of his people unlocked our door. Sent an email to my neighbor - hoping at some point I told her where our extra key is and she put them in the shop - Did not sleep well last night !

I’m sure he has more good qualities than faults….love and forgiveness ftw

Hoping he heals quickly from the nuances of gravity…….

I read these two posts to him and we had a good laugh. Sure he has lots of good qualities, and he does some amazing things (like running his age every year) but sometimes he is very eccentric/idiosyncratic.

[Crankin]

To think that even with good qualities, you might never get annoyed, or even upset with your partner is just unrealistic. If you are like AZ, you can laugh about it in the end, but this is just part of life.
I get annoyed with my DH, for what I perceive to be "stupid" things. We do things differently, despite our many similarities, so I mostly don't say anything, but occasionally, I am like AZ and say, "And what were you thinking???"After almost 38 years, so what? Guess I am not perfect, just truthful.

Yikes! Glad he is ok! I also totally understand why he waited - it's like my fall last year at work that I attempted to ignore...hoping he heals quickly from his fall!
