Odds & Ends
The Cliff Hanger
Several people who read last week’s blog, Lost & Found, wondered WHY my husband took two hours at a neighbor’s house when he had planned to only stay ten minutes. In tidying that blog up for publication, I edited out the explanation he gave because it seemed a bit extraneous to the story. I guess I was wrong! Nothing like a cliff hanger to keep people interested!
Here’s the resolution to the cliff hanger: Ron was planning to check the electrical box to see if a new one needed to be ordered. He had planned to do the job the following week. Once he saw the box was in good shape, and Ron being Ron, he decided to go ahead and do the whole job right then and there. I had lots of reason to be annoyed that he was later than he said he would be, but no reason to be worried about betrayal. My over-the-top response was all based on the past and triggered by a current day event. Once I figured that out, all was well!
