Not my best of days--wish it had been! Had a problem with something I sold on ebay--seems my mind is not doing well with multiple jobs lately! I am lucky as the person who did the purchase was a wonderful person and was fine with what happened. Still DH was all over me like flies on--well you know the story! He just kept on me until I couldn't talk any more so I didn't and told him to back off! It's ebay for goodness sake! The person is fine with all that happened and all is fine so why try to make me feel badly? I suppose he just wants me to be able to take care of myself when he is not here to help--but he has to just let that go. So I am sure it will be an early night tonight! Have a good evening everyone.
Good morning Cyn. Don't dwell on yesterday. It can't be changed. However, there are times when 'back off' is exactly the right thing to say. I hope today is better for you.
Good afternoon my dear dear friends! Today is much better! I forgot that this morning was my DH's Dr appointment with his GP and that always gets him in a uproar. But he was out of line--things were taken care of through honest conversation with my ebay customer and thankfully she was was of the few that is understanding and even ordered more so I sent extra goodies as gifts for her thoughtfulness! It was all good! DH is strictly a businessman---I am far from it...I want to make people happy. Sometimes he is correct but then sometimes I am correct in how we do things with "our" business. I am me and he is who he is--he needs to accept the fact that I am not him! Thank goodness--ha! Anyhow he kept it up for awhile last night but I fell into a deep sleep in my chair so I didn't hear a thing! When I woke up at 9:30pm he wasn't happy with the fact that I left him alone in his grumpiness so I went back to sleep. Smile---he was ok today! I do feel better standing up for myself and thanks to all of you for encouraging me to do it. Yes LilyLady--back off worked well!
It is most difficult keeping my mind on work while having my constant worry over my DH and then of course there are my critters and home--I am but "ONE" person. I do what I can and I work hard to do my best---may not be someone else's best but it is my best. I make mistakes...I am only human. I have found with honest communication most people understand--at least with business...
Location: Finally made it to Florida and lovin' every minute!

Cyn, I agree with you. I worked customer service for a number of years and lying never gets you anywhere. As long as there's respect and honesty, it's generally a good relationship.
Love the beautiful flowers elston! I'm feeling a bit down--a very long day here and am doing a lot of dreaming.....That is one thing no one can take from me--my dreams! I asked my dog BuBu if he thought he was up to a hike....he looked at me like I was crazy!
