Today's Compromise With the Hubby

My husband has had today on the calendar for a week and a half. Today was the day his favorite person/salesperson at T-Mobil came back to work from vacation. My husband decided that since we were not able to upgrade to the unlimited internet that we would swap over to their "Away" plan that also gives unlimited internet. This system is made to take along with you when you travel and perfect for vacation or those that are constantly on the road in an RV or travel trailer, or traveling for work. This system was available in our area on the 25th, but his salesperson was on vacation and not returning until today. So, he was determined to go in today and swap out interfaces and be done with it. But for some reason he wanted me to go too. I had those plans to go to the Open House at the boutique this morning and told him that would work out because he planned on going after 1 pm. My friend wasn't arriving until 12:15 so that put a little quirk in our plans, but it worked out perfectly. I was back home before 2 pm. My friend wanted to go do something else, but frankly there is not much in our town to do and the next town over is 25-30 minutes away. We decided to plan another day in advance and map out our plans. So everyone got to do what they wanted to today and both of us happy. He had a couple of other errands to run also, and while putting gas in the truck he started feeling lightheaded. His blood sugar had dropped below 100 so we stopped at Applebee's for an early dinner. Win for me--no cooking in this hot weather! How was your day today? Photo Credit: Pixabay, Public Domain

I enjoyed my day working on surveys as well as completing surveys.

@Deepizzaguy Good! Looking at a computer screen too long can really mess up your eyes.

Wow, everything worked out well for you today! I had to laugh, because when I saw your title, I thought you were going to write that "compromising" with your husband meant you got everything you wanted and he got nothing! LOL

It is usually the other way around!! He does owe me a trip to both Hot Springs, Smoky Mountains and Florida though!! I'm getting together with my girls soon and taking off. So he better get his act together!

@moffittjc I just have to trust him taking care of the animals and that is not his favorite thing--especially feeding the chickens and gathering eggs!!

You had a great day, plus supper out. I had a busy day at work. I did some housecleaning, as did my husband. He cooked supper for us.

@Juliaacv I hope that went well! I don't know what we are doing tonight. It's getting old here with the heat and not even wanting to eat, so why cook?

Definitely got to watch that blood sugar! I felt like my day was long since I’ve been been up since 3:30am. I got a pedicure with my stepmom today, and then my dad grilled us hamburgers. It was a nice treat to see the family, and my feet needed some TLC.

I am glad things worked out for you. Our local stores have a high turn over rate. So by the time we make friends they're gone.

That's too bad. We have some customers that always ask us to choose clothing for them! It's fun to do too!

I love it when plans come together without trying. I'm glad you had a good day, and it was a win for everyone. Especially with the meal you didn't need to cook. I'm sorry his blood sugar dropped.
