While my husband has been gadding about Europe and the Middle East, I've been working like a dog (and my dog Prewash has been staying home snoozing, so she's not working like a dog, even though she is one!) He's chalking up new countries and new museums and new acquaintances, but I've got my own tally of experiences, y'know. My husband and I keep our own kinds of stats. Here are some of of the ones I somehow keep track of :
- 33: the number of days he's been gone so far
- 33: miles I've driven the car since he left
- 59: miles I've run with my friends since he left.
- 1: the number of loads of laundry I've done while he's been gone
- 0: the number of loads of laundry I've done in the decade before he left. (He is, after all, the Lord of the Laundry).
- 20: number of NYT crossword puzzles I've done (I save the MTW ones for him, and do the others myself)
- 0: number of times I've been to a regular grocery store
- 1: number of times I went to the corner store (to get icing for my daughter's wedding cake)
- 5: times I went to our local farmer's market
- 1: kitchen trash cans I've emptied into the garbage can.
- 0: garbage cans I've taken to the curb
- 65: thermostat setting during occupancy hours. I'm kind of experimenting with this; it's a bit on the chilly side for me, but I'm getting used to it.
- 470: milliliters of blood I donated
- 11.2: my HGB levels recorded at my doctor's office, saying that donating blood put me into "borderline anemic" territory
- 27: mg of Iron I'm taking daily now
- 3: the number of days until he returns.
