Jealousy



My husband is mighty jealous tonight. He will be tomorrow too.

Is it because I have a hunky new guy flirting with me?
Is it because I am getting to close to a male friend?
Making more money than him lately?

No. No. No.
It is because I am at the cottage for two days without him. In 30 degree weather. And this to him is far worse than anything aboveJ

For the first time since the layoff-I feel lucky today for the flexibility in my schedule and the life I may be able to get used to.
Once a summer I always lend the cottage to my Mom and her buddies for 5 days. Today she arrived with five of her friends and I am staying with them today and tomorrow and leaving end of afternoon.

I am having a Fab timeJ))))) this is super fun to get to know all of these great ladies better.  My Mom has such diverse and nice friends and it is a treat to get to hang out with them.
Was funny as was putting on my pyjamas for dinner (always do this at cottage or anywhere else if I am honest!) As I was putting them on I thought to myself “maybe it is rude to wear pyjamas when you are a guest at dinner?” then I realized that it is my cottage after all! Pyjamas it was.

Most of these ladies love to read too and so have been talking about books a lot. Religion too-had some great conversations at the table over a delicious meal that Laura made. Topped it off with homemade chocolate chip cookies she made. Tomorrow is banana muffins for breakfast. Yummy.

So Hubby yes you may be feeling jealous. I feel bad for you, but I feel good for me.
For the first time in almost 4 months I am claiming a couple of days back for myself. In the sun. Doing something so totally out of my normal routine. Maybe this is what a severance package is supposed to be???

The sweet feel of summer. Caressing my senses. Indulging my heart. Even a prayer or two thrown in there just because it felt good.

I feel good. The heavy blanket of last week is starting to lift. Sunshine is waiting.
