Whuffles as defined by our very own Specklet.

Whuffles coming your way, lysdexic.

Awww, that tickles!

*giggles*

Thanks!

*fflwhues lysdexic* you see what I did there?

I'm sorry you're feeling so much pressure... and the coworker incident - I can definitely see how that could give you a sick kind of feeling. Do you think you and your husband might benefit a bit by having a night or afternoon out together, alone, without discussing money, etc.? It needn't be anything expensive, but just a few relaxed hours feeling good.

My husband and I went to a gourmet pizza place one afternoon recently, and it was one of the most pleasant things we could have done, and definitely did drain some tension. We walked there, doing a few errands along the way - and it was a few miles, so we definitely had an appetite and felt like sitting down by the time we got there. We had a bottle of wine, a beautiful salad, and a small pizza and lingered over the meal before taking a cab back home. It was probably less than we would have spent to make our own food that day, and just very, very relaxed and soothing. Sometimes a little break like that can carry you a fair far way when things seem to be crowding you in.

Just don't mention the war spend the time talking about problems; it's not a work date!

I give you *6* whuffles.
Use 5, and grow the last.
When you have 7 whuffles,
Give six away.

*huggles*

*wuggles* (which are more like squeezy hugs)

You have my whuffles...and yeah, marriage IS hard. But it's a "worth it" hard...

Thanks guys. I think co-worker is better now, because big boss spent a chunk of time with him after the meeting, and big boss and I had a chat over it, and I see his reasoning. And as memory pointed out, none of the fire and brimstone was done on a personal level.

On the home front it's harder, because we've actually been separated a while, and we can't seem to get our moods in sync. I've tried to make spaces and times when we can just be together and "not talk about the war". Those are generally successful. We get along great as long as we don't try to be married. That's the hard part. :(

and dangit, taz, it took me three tries to see what you did there! :D

*hugs*

and *whuffles*

Sorry things are so hard, lysdexic.

Some whuffles have widges. Choice of definition is up to you but I like #3.
