update on ma life (long)
Hey ladies!
A few of you kind souls asked how hubby was liking his new job. He started work just yesterday and so far says it's "boring" but WHO CARES WE HAVE INCOME NOW. To celebrate, I went a little "spend happy" today and bought my first school text book and a coffee. We couldn't afford for me to buy any texts last semester, so it felt really good to do so. Technically he won't get a pay cheque for a few more weeks though.
In other news, the night before he started work and I started my second semester of school, (on Sunday night), Matt got really frustrated over... actually I'm not sure what. I was falling asleep and he was complaining that he couldn't find something... next thing I know, he comes into the bedroom sounding upset and saying, "honey, I think I hurt myself". Apparently whatever he was upset about, he decided to punch the floor twice. wtf. I took a look at his hand and it was swelling fast, and there was a clear bump (ie--bone). So it's almost midnight, and I have to get dressed and find out where the nearest emergency room is. We hired a taxi to take us there, and that cost $15 each way!!! RAWR! We were in and out of emerg quickly though, and now he has a nice big cast on his hand/arm and needs to see a fracture specialist tomorrow. give me a break (no pun intended).
At least it won't affect his work. He's training for the next four weeks, and the fracture is supposed to take four weeks to heal properly.
I've never known him to punch anything when he was upset before, let alone the floor. I'm still not sure what upset him, but I can guess a lot of things. I made him take a stress test yesterday to find out all the things that were bothering him, and ... wow. A lot has happened to that poor guy in the last 12 months. His uncle and grandma have cancer and have had numerous surgeries, his grandad died, we got married, moved from Japan and uprooted our social lives, changed our eating and sleep habits, he immigrated to a new country. Jesus. I decided he gets a free "punch the floor for free" card. He was so ashamed at what he had done, he won't let me tell the family, and didn't even want to tell the triage nurse. I told him to tell the truth, and the triage nurse just said, "better a floor than a person".
That's what's new with hubby. I just started my second semester of school yesterday, and I'm feeling optimistic about the whole thing. I feel like I have a better handle on these ridiculous "team projects". Espcially since 20% of our class failed last semester and I no longer have to be paired with people who either won't or can't handle the assignments. ... hopefully anyway.
So that's what's new! thanks for asking.
word to your motha
Re: update on ma life (long)
Sorry about all the stress lately. That is definitely a lot to deal with.
Hubby has been known on rare occasions to hit himself when he's angry (at himself) and it really bothers me. I consider it violent and disturbing. We've talked about it and it has gotten better. (Disclaimer: Hubby is not violent, and has never threatened, or abused me in any way)
I hope it was a one time event and he heals quickly.
