Sometimes you really need your spouse around for those critical moments in life. This morning held one of those opportunities for him to shine.
I found myself struggling, albeit briefly, at 6:30 a.m. this morning. The NYT crossword had three clues catering to my husband’s knowledge and he was unavailable for pestering. The answers were “fanbelt,” “Snead,” and “Andy.” The clues were “engine part,” “golfer who did something spectacular which I cannot remember right now,” and “Toy Story toy.” That last one was too easy, but it pumped my ego and would have done the same for my spouse.
Yes, spousal support is required for difficult duties. I look forward to passing on the grocery shopping as soon he returns to our cave. And I sincerely hope a crossword puzzle is the most trying part of life this week!
