Being separated continues to be a tough experience, but we are making the most of it... here is a recap of our date "weekend."
Daniel came home on Friday, dropped his stuff in the living room, did some work on the house and then crashed. I came home to find him exhausted and in bed. I have to confess that my first reaction was to be annoyed and run around and put away {hide} all of his stuff since we had The Staging Girl coming by to give us advice on how to best stage our home when we put it on the market.
By the time Barbi {The Staging Girl} arrived, I had gotten over my annoyance {and had also forgotten that I threw Daniel's work shoes in the coat closet}...
Anyways, we had a great meeting with Barbi {see this post} and then we ran to grab a late dinner at O'Charley's where we discussed our weekend plans and how much we wanted to spend on staging and landscaping.
Saturday was a huge shopping day for us – this was a bit overwhelming since we are not big shoppers. We normally meticulously plan out what we intend to buy. We research like mad and then we go about finding the best deals. It is important to us to make sure we are both on board with purchasing decisions since we BOTH live in the house. Saturday was a bit overwhelming because we essentially threw caution to the wind and hit the stores with a list in hand. We managed to get everything at IKEA, Lowe's and Target, but it was overwhelming to pick out items that will {hopefully} stay with us for some time.
We spent Sunday rearranging the furniture in our basement and then we headed to the Original Pancake House {I was too exhausted to cook all weekend – shopping really wears me out.} Once again, we said our goodbyes in the parking lot and Daniel headed back to Chattanooga.
An hour after he left Charlotte, I received a call: "Do you know where my work shoes are?"
OOPs. I had completely forgotten that I threw them in the coat closet on Friday night before The Staging Girl arrived...

So what did he do about the shoes? Is he only allowed to wear certain shoes to work?
ReplyDeleteWe've had things like this happen before....once it was a security ID I was thankfully able to get it to him before he needed it.

He had a pair of boots that he was able to wear - they are pretty lax and he just needs to have closed-toe shoes of some sort since it is a nuclear plant.
ReplyDeleteWe have worried about him forgetting his ID - we try to keep it with his keys :)
