Was reading an article online and as usual, Wayne and I were on webcam, and he asked me if something was wrong. Nope, honey, it isn’t. I was just reading. So I told him about the phenomenon of “resting bitch face”. It’s happened a couple of times where he’s been reading and I thought something was amiss too. When two people in love are looking at each other most of the day and are smiling and happy about it, it becomes habitual to expect that smile. If it’s not there, it sets off alarm bells “What’s wrong?”
Well, but it’s hard to be reading something and studying in (like stereo instructions) and be smiling and grinning. So there you go. We’ve promised each other if there IS something wrong or a concern, we’ll each alert each other so we don’t have to ask.
But… that same phenomenon is why when I go out; shopping or to the senior center or anywhere… I ALWAYS smile at people, wish them a wonderful day, and appear chatty. Because if I don’t, I might appear like Grumpy Cat. lol My last ex-h used to ask me why I was angry when I wasn’t; same type of thing… I was only reading or thinking. (The times he KNEW I was disturbed by things he said or did, he never asked me what was wrong by they way.)
Anyway, we played our usual cribbage and Words with Friends tonight after I spent much of the day in AMV working on the (virtual) estate. I worked on the hill with the temple and repositioned it. Then I did some landscaping and moved the greenery and flowers around a bit. Finally I picked up the first castle and flattened the ground underneath. Time soon to put flowers in the courtyard, and put more furniture in.
It was icky and rainy all day, so I didn’t do much else. The itching after the flu has stopped, so I didn’t take any more medication. We chatted a lot this evening and Wayne is doing his post-surgery exercises while I am writing. I think from now on, this is a good time for me to do that since he is counting out loud and I am typing while watching. (He is envious how I type without looking at the keyboard – heh.)
Just looked at the time (10:22pm). Today has gone ultra fast. Tomorrow I have a load for charity and I have to check to see if the recent water bill has come yet. The next project is getting some things out of the basement to take to the dump, and try to find keys to the other security locks for when I find a larger storage locker later on. And maybe take a few things to the senior center as bingo prizes.
And I still haven’t written in the SL (virtual worlds) blog for a while either. But it’s late and we have our nighttime talk before we each drop off.
