I had such lofty thoughts and snappy come-backs for this mornings postings… until 2 a.m. rolled around, and what felt like every stupid childhood adventure injury began to ache, waking me from my dreamy slumber.

I’ve been up ever since…

While I may be all bleary eyed and a bit loopy, in the end it was worth it!

Wanna know why? I wish to pretend that you did, indeed, just ask me that question, so I can keep talking… or typing, if we’re to be literal about it.

Anyway, I’m glad I wasn’t able to go back to sleep, because it gave me a chance to spend time with my husband, even if it was just watching dumb things on the television. Lately, he’s either been asleep when I’m awake, or over at the college in one of the computer labs. He does his study work in the middle of the night, while I sleep.

The man burns his candles at both ends these days, what with trying to gain a degree, while simultaneously attempting to handle the overwhelming number of things that go with being homeless with a wife who can’t work… no fun.

Yet, he gets up and does what needs doing each and every morning, without a word of judgement, or complaint. He has always been a quiet man, stoic and reserved… to some he might even be seen as hardened. Behind the wall, however, is a treasure trove of love, tenderness and such generosity of heart! Once you know it’s there, you cannot help but to adore the man. Don’t get me wrong, he can most certainly drive me to distraction… but for the love of Pete (whoever that is), I simply can’t stay mad at him!

I know this post has little to do with anything of value, but what could any of us expect? I feel rather accomplished to have even gotten this far, to be honest. I will end this mushy, sappy, sleepy mumblefest that I got going on here, by saying that I am very grateful for the gift of my husband’s love.

I haven’t even looked at the daily prompt yet, so be wary, my friends… lol!

As Forrest Gump says (sorta), Today’s prompt answer will be like a box of chocolates, who knows what you’re gonna get!

Just sayin…
