So look at this pic of me, I look knackered don't I? Stephen took this yesterday I believe? Well it wouldn't of happened Saturday as we spent the morning yelling at each other, then of course that was followed by a horrible silence as usually happens when one fights, and THEN I had to unfortunately go to Queens.
Why Queens? Well Morpheus's folks were flying in to see him last Tuesday and his dad had a stroke on the flight over, so right now he's at Jamaica Medical Center in a pretty poor state. He looked so helpless when I saw him on Saturday, which is horrible because Wellesley is a lovely, vibrant man, not the best hearing in the world, but he was always so full of life, a little slower than he used to be, but still a happy, content man...
So it's terribly sad and Morpheus looked totally drained. Luckily though Wendy is here for the next couple of weeks to watch over her dad and Morpheus, so that's good. Hey I may not be married to him anymore but I still care for him and don't like to see him in such a state. Now it's just a waiting game for his dad to wake up, or show at least some signs of recovery.
So yeah the weekend was pretty quiet, I was really tired yesterday and of course it would be the day that Reef wants to be up and fed every 5 minutes, so that was a little exhausting, but hey when I look down at her face all I do is smile, she's just too cute.
Stephen got a little stuck creatively, but then pulled himself up and out pretty quickly to come up with a great idea for his new piece. Oh and yeah I ALSO came up with some creative input of my own with regard to his next piece, so I was pleased with myself about that. Actually did I mention that he's part of next year's Art Expo over at the Jacob K. Javits Centre here in New York, which is the first 5 days in March so he has a lot of work to do for that show, which is one of the reason's we argued as he needs to concentrate on painting, but I want him to be able to look after Reef for a couple of hours each day at the weekend so that I can go out, get my nails done, shop, I don't know, whatever, it doesn't matter, I just need a bit of ME time, but then his argument is that he needs to concentrate, so if she's up and wanting attention then he has to stop ......yada yada yada
It's a tricky one, he has to paint I know and appreciate that, but I need to get out myself, which I did on Saturday, but will I be able to next weekend if I want to? Whatever we'll figure it out, but we need to talk it out as opposed to being mean, I can't deal with that, it's too upsetting...
Hey don't get me wrong we are totally fine and LOVING EACH OTHER, we just have to adjust to having Reef around and tending to her, that's all...
So this week we're having Al and Benita round for dinner, so we thought that we'd invite Kat and Luis over also that night, that way Kat can talk Al's ears off and vice versa, which should leave us in the clear...hey maybe we'll sneak out and have a pint???
So today I'm going to check out the prices of trees and go check out some orange tree lights as that would work beautifully in this place....I love Christmas, even though we are having an extremely quiet one, so not many presents....boo hoo, sorry that's the princess in me.
