Ramblings Ramblings Even though people are constantly reminding me of everything I'd always do for her, without even thinking.... I still feel so darned guilty about what I didn't do for her... like fix up her (our) house instead of buying my computer/guitar toys. I'm a lazy bum at home. We were both pretty lazy for a while. We both commuted 40+ miles each way to work, in heavy traffic, for several years. By the time we got home, we were beaten to the point of saying.... "Just show me where I can go to sleep for a while". My Mom used to joke with us that... the only reason we're still together is that we're too lazy to find someone else <g>.. well, when we moved closer to work, her laziness went away but mine stayed (for the most part). The nice things I did were things like... for over 15 years, she woke up to the smell of a piping hot cup of coffee next to her and.... more recently (only a few years), made sure she had a cold glass of water next to her so she wouldn't need to get up at night for a drink (she had a nasal problem / allergies that would force her sleep with her mouth open and, of course, get 'dry mouth' at night). For about 8 years, I've been a "Claw Machine" addict.. we had this
restaurant we'd go to and I'd clean out their claw machine on a regular basis...
no matter how silly the little animal was, her eyes would light up like a beacon
when she saw them... she'd even get a little 'ticked' when I'd see a little girl
walking around and give her a couple before I came back to the table. She
(well... I) now have about 200 of these little critters stuffed in every nook
and cranny in the garage, bedroom, etc, etc.. Eventually, I guess I'll donate
them but right now, every one has the memory of a huge smile attached to it so I
can't give them up. |
