It’s Me… Maven, you might be right:

“Perhaps a nice warm soak with some epsom salts might help” — in Neil’s mouth?…

I hope you sat down and had a beer after this outburst and felt much better.

A few years ago, I was wearing a heart monitor when my heart started beating erratically and wouldn’t return to normal. It was beating out of time at 180 beats per minute for over an hour. While I was planted in a recliner trying to stay calm and just breathe as my heart galloped out of my chest, my husband was outside weeding.

When the cardiologist, who was monitoring readouts from my monitor, ordered me to get the hospital right away, my husband dragged his feet and bitched and moaned at having to spend a Sunday afternoon in the ER. “Are you sure we have to go? Who said so? Is this really necessary?”

I should have dropped dead right then and there just to spite him, but being a good wife, I didn’t want to interrupt his friggin weeding with a death scene.

I always feel better after a good cry, but annoyed might be healthier. I don’t know. I don’t think it was an exclusively male response. It’s hard to watch another person feeling down and not be able to cheer them up.

Sophia stopped crying, but looked annoyed. Well, at least I got her to stop crying.

Why are boys always so desperate to get the crying to stop? It’s not that big a deal, boys!

Hang in there Neil and Sophia.

As a fan of any kind of massage, I can say, KEEP ON WITH THE RUBBING! And as for the ABBA…Come on Neil, even I’m getting tired of the never endless displays of exquisite fashion, dazzling dances moves, and polyester skin tight overalls. Oh, who am I kidding? WAAAAAAWAWAWAWWAWWAAAAAAAAATERLOOOOO…..

Perhaps a nice warm soak with some epsom salts might help those leg cramps… or perhaps eating a banana. I hope Sophia is taking plenty of good vitamins and minerals and keeping well-hydrated:) I know it must be hard on you. You’re a man afterall, and if a man can’t fix what’s wrong with us, the man gets frustrated. I usually respond to my husband with, “if you can’t say something supportive… I’d gladly accept your silence.”

Good luck to both of you, as Sophia is on her road to wellness…

I love ABBA.

Gosh, I was thinking of you guys earlier today. Big hugs to you both. That’s all.
