Look what I got!



My husband Jim is a wonderful man...let me say that upfront.
Yesterday he stopped by Walgreen's and bought me a gift.... he called it "the just in case you need it" gift.
He must have been reading the headlines yesterday on his computer and saw all these people wearing masks in Mexico and thought maybe he should buy a box for his wife before they're all gone!
When I opened the bag and pulled out the box of masks I just smiled, made me laugh a little, but I could see the serious look on Jim's face and I knew that he was concerned about my white count
So after I assured him that by not flying, (particularly to Mexico) and washing my hands frequently, I should be fine!
I think I forget sometimes how my chronic condition affects him, how he worries too.
After I opened the box and tried one on, we both burst out laughing!

So what do you think...is it me?
Sure cuts down on the need for makeup!

  1. He's so SWEET! All those little ways of saying 'I love you' mean a lot, I think. (If I had one of those I think I couldn't help drawing something on it, like a big smile at least or dracula fangs or a smoking pipe or... ? LOL)

    I hope you stay well and flu-free, for both your sakes!

  7. Very sweet of your husband! My mom and sister were supposed to go on a cruise from New Orleans to Cozumel next week. They were offered a refund or reschedule by Carnival, and they are taking the refund.
    By the way, your eyes are the most amazing blue color. I love them!

  8. Susan;

    My thoughts exactly...I have already put red lips on the mask.. Jim was being so sweet and ernest about his purchase!

    Sylvia;

    Decorating the mask made Jim laugh when he came home from work. I told him that I would decorate one for him but the masks make him closterphobic.

  12. LOL oh yes this could seriously cut down on the time needed to leave the house. How sweet is your hubby though, I have to admit we were also thinking of getting some, just in case! Scary times indeed, we are even wondering whether our Chicago vacation will now happen, it's a case of wait and see for now.

    On a serious note, I think about my compromised immune system and hope that it's still working!!

  14. I really hope this doesn't get so bad that we need things like this. But it is best to be prepared.

  15. See, people just don't get that romantic moments can be made up of such purchases. :)

    Hmmm, maybe if I drew a Happy Face on that blood pressure cuff hubby got me after the asthma attack....
