Well, it was an interesting day. I talked to Marv about his use of the phrase "she's just a friend" in responding to a waitress' question: "Is this your daughter?" He was irritated that it would upset me and basically couldn't understand WHY that would bother me. I said, "Well, if I said, 'He's just a guy I know' about you, wouldn't that hurt your feelings?" He seemed to think about that for a second before agreeing that it would. However, he didn't seem to concede that he'd done anything wrong, and didn't want to talk about it. (Told me I shouldn't have brought it up.) Sigh.
In other news, I scraped my hand open on something, and I can't figure out what, but I'm bleeding. It doesn't hurt, but surprised me when I saw it. I'm at Barnes and Noble again today. I have to be at work in half an hour, but this is part of my attempt to write something every day. Marv said I should, and I think it's a good idea. (Which contradicts his statement, "I guess I just can't do anything right.")
I asked Grey about the situation, because he and Marv have such similar personalities. He said that he thought I was justified in being upset, and that once Marv had a chance to think about it, he would come around. He said, "I usually do eventually, so I'm sure he will, too." LOL I'm sure he's right, and I wish that it hadn't hurt my feelings, but it did. Basically, Marv tossed out some "Fine. I guess I just won't say anything ever again" type comments. Which I'm familiar with from my teenaged children.
I think his relationship maturity has never been necessarily stretched, so this is growing pains for both of us. Most of the time, it's all good, but once in a while...ARG!
I'm working tonight until 8pm. Have to get the schedule done, which entails a lot of rearranging, and not everyone is going to be happy about it, that's for sure. But it is what it is.
I've been trying to jog more regularly. I'm trying to get up to a regular three mile ability by Valentine's Day. It's hard when I don't get home until so late, but tonight I'm going to try again. I have an inhaler now, and that's helped enormously.
