Hi,

I hate my husband right now we went shopping to get snacks and booze for the big race anyway we got home after getting what we needed and he was in such a rush to put the TV on to watch the recorded race, After putting the shopping on the kitchen bench he put my bottles on the edge of the counter and I was putting things away and moved a bag and the bottles went flying smashing on the tilled floor.

Now I sit here with nothing to get drunk on watching this never ending race that stops the nation.

Sorry finished now thanks for a place to vent.

Hope everyone else is good today.

I'm sorry your having trouble with your hubby. My husband is also a race fan. I assume your talking about nascare. He isn't into football or even baseball just the races so I feel lucky that is the only time he gets crazy about the TV. Years ago before my fibro hit me I took an intrest in it too. We have even worked at the races to get in free and watch them together. He was just happy when I took an intrest. Now with the fibro I can't go to the races and work anymore so our weekend days revolve around the race but I try use the time to relax. The only sugestion I would have is to plan ahead. Know that during the race he will not be there for you. So plan ahead to be ready for it. Maybe even pick a favorite driver of your own. Mine is Carl Edwards. LOL, he is HOT! I make sure my husband knows that is part of the reason I chose him. It has become a game between us and he loves the compitition. His driver is Brad Koslowski. So we often compete. You know the old phrase when you can't beat em join em.
I feel so bad for you that all the beer went crashing to the floor. I know what it is like to already be hurting and then something like that happens to make things overwhelming. Try to take some "me" time after stuff like that. Pamper yourself if no one else will.
I hope things are better today! Lots of hugs!

For me, it's football (I mean, for my husband - I couldn't care less!) I think I could tell him the house is burning down while the game is on and he wouldn't hear me.

I should have such focus. Ever...on anything.

The boyfriend likes the races too, bleh.

He was watching them on Friday and I had called in sick to work. He also called in to take care of me.

Finally I said "Thank goodness you called in to work today! What would I do without you sitting around watching racing and having me make you breakfast!"

After that the races were over :P

Thanks everyone for your kind words.

The race im talking about is the Bathurst 1000 Australia and it goes all day the main race is 6 hrs long with only two kinds of cars Ford or Holden V8s boring as watching paint dry we used to go to the truck races much more fun now i hurt to much.
I dont take anything for my fibro can't find anything that isn't on the ban list at my work so all i do is take hot baths.

At least he cleaned up the mess for me and made me a bath.

Kind Regards

I can't tolerate alcohol anymore, but I never was much of a drinker anyway. I'd be ticked off about the clean up though!

I have to admit as a proud Aussie when Bathurst was on Sunday I went and had a sleep the only time any excitement happens if I am not watching it.

but sitting for any length of time is painful for me it does not matter how soft the chair.
