My poor, dear, suffering spousal unit has contracted a nasty cold. When he called me tonight, he sounded just a few steps from death’s door. I’m ashamed to say that one of my first thoughts was “Crap, I hope this doesn’t mean we’ll have to miss the party on Saturday.”
He got some OTC meds and he went to bed early tonight. I’ll be there tomorrow night to feed him chicken soup and do all that stuff to help him feel better. But I’m an engineer, dammit, not a doctor!
Please, please, please! Concentrate your healing vibes on Baltimore and Havre de Grace (I know he’ll go to work on Thursday - that’s just the way he is) Together, we can make this happen! And if not, what can I give him to help him sleep Saturday away so I can come to the party alone and he won’t miss me?? [sub]It’s a joke - don’t tell him I said that![/sub]
Ginger, that’s so sweet of you, but I know he’d decline your offer. I’m not even going to try to explain it - it’s one of his endearing [sub]and maddening[/sub] quirks. But thanks so much for your offer.
World Eater, many thanks - your vibes are closer than mine, so they’re sure to be effective!
And thanks, cadolphin! Incidentally, once Miss Moose and I return from this weekend, she’ll be headed your way!
Opal, believe me, I will do what I must to get him better. The marina has a hot tub and a steam room - I’ll drag him over there tonight and Friday to sweat the germs outta him! That and soup and my tender ministrations… or I’ll threaten to kick his butt! :eek:
I just hope he doesn’t give it to me - I don’t relish flying home with a stuffed up head.
Not Tidewater - Harbor View in the Inner Harbor, just off Key Highway. We looked into relocating to Tidewater, but the lack of floating docks and a hot tub made it a deal breaker! Plus Harbor View is within walking distance of the light rail stop at Camden Yard, making for convenient access to BWI.
Well, jeez. Here I thought he was just around the corner, and that I could go over and do silly things to you - like untie the boat at night, and mail you bags of rocks. I’m glad he’s not as far away as I thought earlier, though. How far is the commute?
Mail us bags of rocks??? Is that a Canadian thing?!? His commute is about 40 minutes - he zips thru the Fort McHenry tunnel and straight up 95 to Aberdeen. His plant is just across from the Armory in HdG.
As soon as I hit submit with the OP, I realized that MAD Dopers was just a tad redundant, but Ginger’s right about the JC-numpty thing. So I’ve been told, not having met him yet.
He just called a little bit ago - still sounded ragged, but he survived the night, so that’s a good sign.
