The 2 women in my life
Just a quick update.3 days ago, my girlfriend was discharged from hospital after staying there for 4 days due to the denggue fever. I was really glad she was out since i was so worried for her the entire time she was in there. She's doing fine now, acting all crazy and silly like she always does, which is exactly what makes her so endearing (well, to me)
She's also taken up using some of my lines.. For instance, whenever she complained that she was fat, or that she has horrible cellulite, or that her thighs are from an elephant, she would turn to me for an indication of what i think. Now, the thing most guys should know is that, there is no right answer to this. Answer yes and she'll say you're just saying that to make her feel better. Answer no and you're just confirming her worst fears and she'd be upset for the rest of the day. So, if you're smart enough, you'll come out with some smart answer that doesnt really answer that question at all.
Do what i do. Just smile, give her a hug and tell her "I love you dear." That's it. Dont say anything more. If she digs deeper, just say "DEAR! I love you."... Repeat as long as you can. SHe cant get angry with you for loving her right? OF course, use this sparingly for maximum effectiveness. Other times, just get the hell out of there or change the topic! Hehehe.. Remember, Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned!
Anyway, now when i talk about my big tummy, SHE just goes and say "I love you dear." Well, a taste of my own medicine.
My mom is generally doing quite well too.. Though she's actually put on alot of weight. Since February till today, she's a whopping 20kgs heavier. That about 40pounds i think. She doesnt seem to be able to control her eating urges. But hey, better plump but happy then skinny and miserable. Im glad she has taken up my advice and has gone for walks in the evenings when the weather permits. Though she doesnt do much throughout the entire day, she does seem genuinely happy (at least from what i see). SHe does the laundry at home, feeds the dog and watches TV in the evenings. She does talk about wanting to work, but even she is doubtfull if she's up to it. Even as it is, she says that she has alot to do at home, though i dont really know what!
I have not overseen her medication for a long time, but i can see that she has been taking it faithfully on her own without much fuss. Something im glad about, thinking about what happened just a month ago. Also, the house up north that she was living in wa repossesed by the bank and put up for sale, since we have been defaulting on the mortgage. I told her that it is fortunate she is now staying with us, instead of being there when the house was repossesed.
Other than that, the 2 women in my life seem to be doing quite well. It really makes me jump for joy(on the inside) to know that they are close to me and that they are safe. In that sense, i do feel very lucky. Despite all the ups and downs around me, at least im glad that these 2 VIPs are safe and within sight. Money can be made and lost, things can be given and taken away, but you are given only one mother and only one soulmate to cheerish.
