If you could put your real skills on a resume and not just the ones that are marketable or made up, my top skill would be worrying. I am a fantastic worrier. I worry about my life. I worry about my family. I worry about my friends. I spend way too much time worrying about the person I had a casual conversation with in the grocery story. I am a professional worrier.
And Husband knows this! Husband is constantly telling me to forget it or get over it or let it go but I can’t and he knows this. So why in the hell would he wake up this morning and say, as I’m trying to shuffle Tigger the Dog out of the dark room as quietly as possible, “ej, before you turn on the basement lights, have a good sniff and see if you can smell gas.” WHY??? I already had a hard time putting on my slippers. I put the left on the right foot three times. And finding my glasses on the nightstand involved lots of picking up objects that weren’t my glasses because I didn’t have my glasses on. And not having my glasses on is probably why I couldn’t put on my slippers. I’m already half-an-hour behind my morning routine because my worry list woke me up at three a.m. and kept me busy stressing for a while. Why add “the gas might be leaking and we’re going to be one of those houses that blow up and are nothing but rubble in seconds” to my list? I JUST took it off the list after he caught the pinhole leak that was coming from the water heater pipe. Now I have to put it back on AND be the one responsible at whatever time it is/it’s still dark outside for finding said leak with my stuffed up unawake nose? Yeah, THIS was not covered in the marriage pamphlet. Of course, we got married in a drive-thru in Vegas. Perhaps a traditional marriage ceremony covers this kind of thing. Eh, I’m just going to go ahead and write my own pamphlet, Things To Expect When You Get Married. And include things like gas leaks. In two separate chapters of course; Gas leaks: Appliances and Gas Leaks: Spouse.
