You can’t have your ying without the yang. Karma does have its rebounds. The down side is in my life there is no grey area, or time spent in between. Its really bad…, or really good. After having so many days on the bad side, I have been well overdue for a good one. Today was that day!

I haven’t been sleeping well for the past week or so, mainly cause I am still a little shaken up from my car being broken into while I was inside, and I wake up to every little noise. This morning I only woke up once, and that was at 4am (7am in New York) cause my father sent me a text message telling me that my cousin had her baby. After going back to sleep I managed to sleep in until 9am. Which I haven’t done in months, so already I feel extra energized and rested.

I decided to try a different gym, as with my membership I can go to any 24 Hour Fitness center. The one I went to was a lot bigger and had a lot more showers where the one I had been using only had one shower. This meant I wasn’t as rushed and could just stand under the hot water and relax a little for a minute before getting out.

Then I went to the mall and walked around, stopped by the Hallmark store to buy an “I love you” card for my wife and my card was rejected, which I am playing off as a good thing. I was a little hesitant in buying the card and my wife hates me spending money and I wasn’t sure she would appreciate it much. Them refusing my card also threw up a red flag telling me to check my bank account and most other places would of charged my card anyway. (Later I learned that my insurance payment went through and it brought my account lower than I thought, but still positive).

Then at 3pm I went to my in-laws house and thought I was taking my daughter for the day, but due to my father-in-law taking the car I had no car seat and they left me to watch my daughter in their house. I was a little uncomfortable to do this but it turned out to be better cause my daughter fell asleep shortly after I got there and I didn’t have to spend any money to go somewhere.

After my wife got off work, her parents dropped her off then left leaving the house to the three of us, which we were able to sit down and eat like a family. Taking into consideration the deal me and my wife had worked out last night we took our first night of starting over.

Being able to hug and kiss my wife like a married couple, for the first time in over three months felt like the weight of the world was lifted off my shoulders. I had a grin you couldn’t remove with a blow-torch. My daughter woke up for a little while after my wife got home and then went back to sleep so we were able to spend some time one-on-one with each other and talk. I gave her a massage as she was very tired and sore from working as her body is not use to working like she did. In the process of me giving her the massage she made the comment that she liked “boyfriend” better than “husband”, which I corrected her per our agreement that we would still call each other husband and wife. Other than that there were no disagreements, everyone was happy and I felt like I did when I was married, living in Tennessee, and didn’t have a brother-in-law living with us.

If nothing else this entire situation is an eye opener and allowing me to understand what my wife wants out of life. I am just sorry I had to go through all of this to realize it.

Of course the perfect day could end without a kiss, and my wife telling me she loves me.
