Crazy weather, crazy hours and sweet memories of Whisper

This weather has just been crazy hasn’t it?  Last night I had one of those horrible migraines, this one came with nausea!  It didn’t hurt as much pounding wise until I left to go and pick up my daughter.  The on coming lights from traffic was a killer.  WOW.  I didn’t have the heart to ask hubby to pick up our daughter because of his crazy hours yesterday and today.  Last minute order came in and the company who ordered it wants by next week and with the shop closed tomorrow and not open again until Monday, that meant some crazy hours for a few days.  Poor hubby worked through his lunch yesterday and today and he worked until 5:00 yesterday, and is doing that today.  That is eleven hours on his feet.  He hasn’t worked these kind of hours all years due to the economy.  Man he snored like a train last night.  With a migraine oh my that was interesting until the medication kicked in and I fell asleep.  I didn’t even let on I had the migraine until close to bed time because I didn’t want hubby going back out to get our daughter.  I felt bad.

When we cleaned the attic out a few weeks ago, I had this bin full of stuff to tear and shred.  I got it done yesterday.  My poor thumb on the right hand is numb.  A lot of things went through the shredder but I just tore up things that wasn’t something like old pay stubs.  Wow the stuff I kept.  I still had things from my first job when I was sixteen.  Hubby said what are you keeping these for.  When my daughter seen that I only made $3.35 an hour when I started working she absolutely cringed.  Too funny.  Hey I take a job making what she makes no problem.  LOL

I got a new candle coming I am so excited about, got the confirmation in the email today.  I got a square chunk pillar coming and its so cool and pretty (if anything like the samples I seen).  I am going to make a centerpiece for the holidays with it.  Very excited!  Simple pleasures are life’s treasures!  I wish we hand nicer windows and a deeper ledge I would of put in our window, that would of made a pretty scene with lights in the window too.

Last night I had a dream, and my Whisper was in it.  He passed Rainbow Bridge a year ago today.  Wow I can’t believe its been a year already.  In my dream I was sleeping and he was laying right next to me like he use too and when I woke up, it felt so real, I was curled in the position like in my dream but he wasn’t there.  I started to cry.  I miss him so much and then I thought to myself this past year has been so hard to sleep or fall asleep at night, that is because for 17.5 years I had a buddy next to me who isn’t there now.  I love him so much.  I know he is in my heart.  All the rough things I went through, my abusive first marriage, those single parent moments, he was there!  He use to lick my tears away when I would cry.  If he sat next to me or hubby he always had to touch us with his paw, our leg or arm.  Always!  I remember fighting to sit next to hubby LOL.  He was quite the character.  Even when I was starting to date again (before meeting hubby), he would bite guys I would date, except for hubby.  He didn’t bite him, as if he was saying “okay this one is a good one, I approve”.  You just don’t forget those things.

But my favorite memory that makes me laugh no matter what, I always smile and giggle and love to share this story of Whisper, is when hubby and I first got married.  Hubby while sleeping tooted (passed gas) and Whisper was sleeping right in between us near hubby’s behind.  I woke up to the noise and next thing I know Whisper got up and starting to paw like he was covering it up like he would cover up after using the litter box!  I laughed so hard that night I cried!  I will never ever forget that night.  I wish we had a video camera, that one would of been a winner for sure if I would of caught it and sent it on tape huh!
