Since, I’ll be out of town next weekend at the American Pain Foundation Summit, I skipped my monthly chronic pain meet-up today to spend time with my husband. I miss my ‘in-pain’ friends, but know that whether in person or through e-mail we will always be there for each other.
I need face-to-face time with my husband. Since I no longer am able to work, I sit home most of the time alone while my husband works (and works). Today, our face-to-face time included a trip downtown Raleigh to Escazu, an artisan chocolate shop. This is NOT ordinary chocolate, but handmade dark chocolate. YUM! We had been there before in the winter for a delicious hot chocolate (like no other) and now we went and bought a couple dark chocolate bars (we only bought them for the health value, yeah, right!). More time together when we watch the NASCAR race on TV tonight (we love NASCAR!)
Another way to please this girl? Business cards. I received my American Pain Foundation business cards today. I guess that means I’m official. Something as simple as a business card (even though I told the APF I didn’t need them) really makes me feel worthy. I guess I have value again.
Chocolate and business cards. What a great day!
