Speak or Be Silent

“Speak now or forever hold your peace.” Or is it piece? I don’t know. Either way, I always thought it was a stupid thing to say at a wedding. In real life, it is kinda practical.

Bless his heart. Ronald has been doing the shopping even before I had surgery. My knees were too painful for me to walk much, so he would take my list and try his best to fulfill my needs. When he came home with B12 gummy vitamins, I didn’t want to hurt his feelings, so I kept my mouth shut. BUT I HATE GUMMIES!!!

I should have said so.

I needed some melatonin to still my overactive mind for a decent night’s sleep. I sent him once more with a little list. He saw a bottle of melatonin with a milder dose in pill form and saw the bigger dose in a gummy. He chose the gummy.

This time, I did mention my feeling about gummies in a mild way so as not to hurt his feelings too badly. He was doing his best. I did say it strong enough that he won’t make that mistake soon.

In the meantime, I will chew the gummies quickly and choke them down before gagging. I’ve only got to do that 98 more nights to get rid of them. I’m too cheap to throw them away no matter how much I dislike them.

Anyway, life goes on.

I am going to do a blog dump as long as I feel good enough to continue to write. Hope you don’t mind. If you do, please speak up!

Blessings
