      Sometimes life just comes up and smacks you ... right upside the head.

      It would take a gazillion years to try to explain how a seemingly uneventful week, can put you on your knees.  i'll try later.  But on my knees i landed.

      Suffice to say that today i finally became emotionally broken, and yes, it probably had a lot to do with being hugely overtired due to a fragmented sleep pattern that doesn't seem to want to stop.

      i crawled into the house early tonight - well early for me as it was just before 6 - and i kissed Himself and said i needed a nap.  i stopped by the washroom first, and when i came out He was standing by the door.  i put my head on His shoulder .. and then went to our bedroom.  He followed.

      i finally broke down and in between tears choked out the work and the politics and the nonsense and how i am overwhelmed by it all and even that some woman cleans my house when i'd rather be doing it myself.  (i really don't know how i'd have any "down-time" without her though!)

      And then i crawled under the blankets.  An hour and a half later, i woke up to Himself coming back into the house, and a ton of my favourite things from the grocery store sitting on the counter.  Salmon, and asparagus, and yogurt for my lunches.  And the ingredients for the squid recipe that i like.

      Dinner with candles, and a bit of wine... and with Him.  A phone call from my daughter.  A hint of wine.  And now i think i'll survive tomorrow.

      Tomorrow is our anniversary.  i think we are going to make it for a lot more years.

      Thank you Sir.  i love you.
