30 Days of Grateful

For today, Thursday – Day 17, I am grateful for:

My Husband’s Patience

A week or so ago, I lost a set of keys. Using my husband’s set, I made myself another set. He was patient with me about that.

The other day, I lost my phone. I was so upset and fussing about my forgetfulness and my busy schedule that seems to make me scatterbrained. After supper that evening, I went back into town to double check at the shop and yes, I had left it at the shop. He was patient with me that evening.

Yesterday, I went to the grocery store after work with my oldest daughter. Afterwards, we got home, unpacked the grocery bags and then ate supper. There wasn’t much we had to put away and nothing cold so putting away groceries waited until after supper. Later in the evening, after the kids were in bed, I was messing around on Prime Video and wanted to watch something on Hulu so I was going to subscribe to it thus I needed my debit card. I went to get it from my purse and couldn’t find it! I went to my car thinking I may have left it there, but the car was locked. Dammit! This was frustrating because I seldom lock my car! I had to go back inside to get the keys, but then I couldn’t find those! At this point, I am frustrated and my nerves are shot. I can feel the frustration just burning a whole inside me. Anyway, my hubby gets home and I’m completely flustered. I’m still fussing. He starts talking to me about what I had been doing to help me retrace my steps and this gets me even more agitated. He had a key to unlock my car as to which he had done so, but at the same time, I was in the house and saw that my keys were attached to my purse! SMH…can this possibly get any worse (or better depending on perspective)? We searched my car and still didn’t find my debit card so I emailed my bank to cancel the card. BUT! before I emailed the bank, he ran back into town to the same grocery store to check the ATM machine because I finally remembered I used that right before I left the store.

Anywho, the lost debit card was cancelled and my hubby stayed patient with me through the whole damn mess last night. And! This morning I got my replacement debit card. It turns out that my bank can issue a new one right then and there with their own debit card making machine!

And waa-laa, all is well again.

Sooooo, I am very grateful for my husband’s patience with me. He’s generally not a patient man, but he’s working on and last night he was great!
