Making points (husbands)

Guys, if you're like me, you need to make as many points as you can so you can lay them off when you lose points.
And you WILL lose points.

Today I made some points.
Miz t. had been straight out all day.
Errands, grocery shopping.
It's especially hard for her now because I don't drive anymore.
ARMD - Age Related Macular Degeneration.

We were planning on Shrimp Alfredo with a Caesar salad tonight.
She came rolling in about 5:30.
I helped her unload groceries (POINTS!).

"Look, why don't we do something simpler tonight. The Alfredo will keep. There's some sausage and cabbage left over from last night. How about that and a salad?"
"OH THANK YOU, THANK, YOU, THANK YOU!
I was gonna do it for you but, yeah, that would be so nice. Thank you."

MAJOR POINTS!

P.S. I appreciate the thanks, but it's not like I'm demanding at all or rule this house with a whip.

We were gonna have Beyond Burgers - meatless, smothered in garlic sauce, with shrooms, grilled, yummy!

But then I started snacking. So, I said I just might not be up for a burger.

He turned on a dime and said, ok, he'd just have a frozen burrito or 2. Good organic from Costco.

POINTS!! Husband that is! 😆
