Where Credit Is Due

Sep 20, 2009 23:47

Everything this weekend has centered around me me me, so I wanted to talk about Darren for a bit. He's been really great to have put up with me all weekend. But not only that, this weekend, he:

  • Took the day off so he could drive me to and from the Periodontist's office for my oral surgery.
  • Waited patiently in the waiting room for the hour and a half it took to get my tooth extracted.
  • Bought me a smoothie from Emerald City Smoothie on the way home. His reasoning: A cold smoothie will be good for the swelling.
  • Stopped by his parents house and got two ice packs for me to use for the rest of the day.
  • Drove me all the way to work (24 miles) because I wanted to ask for a certain day off (for my follow-up appointment), but I had to do it in person to be sure that people wouldn't forget.
  • Took Ensure (which is gross) and made tasty milkshakes out of it so I could get some protein.
  • Basically cooked EVERYTHING for me, even Spaghetti-O's, which I'd damn well better know how to make myself.
  • Did all the dishes this weekend (which is normally my job).
  • Kept me on track with my antibiotics, and even bought me a daily pillbox.
And he never batted an eye to doing any of this. He took really good care of me this weekend. I've thanked him several times, but it doesn't feel adequate.

How the hell did I get so fucking lucky?! Thank you, Darren! I love you!
