Usual Whine.

sildilOK, having reached the tender age of 50, I am now routinely 'invited to a breast screening'. Joy. Actually since this is the most action I have seen for nearly a decade, it was not such a bad thing, except the nurse was female...but then again...I dunno.........
.....anyway, yes I know it was routine and yes I know there are no problems, but a tadge more interest on the part of the husband would be nice. If it were his balls being squashed between a metal plate and a sheet of perspex, I suspect he would expect me at least to go with him and at best to be around to ask how it went. But no, he is off at the shops and is then going up to see his retired colleague. Yesterday on his other day's holiday, did he do something with the family in the afternoon? No, he spent it in the library doing his research.
But I digress.
What has really pissed me off today is one comment.
Most of you know that I draw, and a lot of you know that I've been using the computer more and more recently. Our computer is at least 8 years old, if not 9 and has had very heavy use and is grossly underpowered now. I've been thinking through various plans on how to solve the immediate and then long term problem, and came up with the idea of getting a laptop now, for me, then a new computer in the autumn so Nick can have this old one for Uni. Anyway, subject was broached, in passing with other half. I thought he had heard the idea from Lizzie, but he hadn't so I said, 'wait a sec, just need a quick pee' and then I'll tell you....'
....So of course that means he disappears to the other end of the house and doesn't answer my calls when I wander round looking for him getting later and later for my boob squeeze. I finally find him.
"Where WERE you? Couldn't you wait a sec?"
"I am not some pet dog who waits around."
I could cry. In fact I am.

Date: 2006-04-13 04:05 pm (UTC)Perhaps squishing his danglies between some plastic and metal may do him some good. Better yet, it would do YOU some good. ;)
Him. Me. Locked room. Five minutes.

*hugs and hugs you*

Date: 2006-04-14 09:06 am (UTC)Yeah it is the lack of respect and just plain...care that really hurts. I have to say he IS trying to do the right thing, and incidents like this make him panic (again) after a while ago when I more or less said I would leave. I think he is almost doing OK and then he pulls crap like this.
Men. Bleh.

Date: 2006-04-13 08:50 pm (UTC)I'm sorry you have one of those shit-men attached to you, too. :-(
Over here, I had to start getting the weekly mammograms at 35. Such fun. I said back then that if men had to put their testicles in that damn thing, you can be sure they would have found a different kind of machine to do the test. Never thought to bring s.u. because he certainly wouldn't go. Wouldn't even pick me up from the hospital after a surgery once. Oh well.
It's amazing to me that you make such wonderful art using a very old computer. Incredible! Maybe if you just go out and buy a laptop, he won't notice.

Date: 2006-04-14 09:08 am (UTC)Of course, when he came back from his friends, he was all nice and 'nothing happened I am in denial' again.
Yeah I have made a few savings on our account and think I deserve it...hell, I need it really, if I am ever going to do anything!

I fear that if you squeezed his balls, what's left of his brain would ooze out...oh, wait. He doesn't use his little head, does he? Nevermind.
((hugs))
Will be online in 5 minutes to chittychat.
