Yes, these spouses can be challenging: can't live with them, can't live without them. Sometimes I fantasize about the days when I was living alone in my apartment and how much I enjoyed it, but that was a long time ago and not sure how well I would fare doing that at this age. Trying to have a decent conversation with mine is so frustrating to me, I do so much better with him in texts and emails because he is a slow, long, drawn out, easily distractable, detailed talker. Drives me crazy because I have no patience.
But, when I want to meditate I either tell him I'm going into the other room to meditate, or if I'm doing it right out on the couch and he happens to come by and ask me something, I simply hold up my arm and say "meditating" and he immediately goes away until I tell him I'm finished. Can you ask your husband not to talk to you when you're meditating?
Congrats on driving the car in the dark - another milestone for you! Can you order the tea online? Amazon Prime would have had it there by now. I'm so spoiled by Amazon. Here at my daughter's house they even have "Amazon Prime Now" which allows you to order and have it delivered to your house within 2 hours! Gotta love it.
Be well everyone.... life is a challenge, but it's worth it!
