Odd when your partner posts here, too

mljm and I communicate as much by email as we do in person, and sometimes more.  It's the one place where our four year old can't interrupt a train of thought (an issue I struggle with) or try to drown out what she doesn't want to listen to.  What's wierd about posting here is that it adds yet another layer to that communication, and I'm painfully aware that someday I'm going to throw some thought online, and when I get home I'm gonna hear, "Saw your post.  Didn't occur to you to tell me first, eh Mr. Big Time Author?"  (Actually, we're a lot more passive-aggressive at my house.  I'd just wake up with a cat on my head.)

So, might as well get it out of the way, honey.  Here's something I didn't write in my morning missive: got a positively savage headache.  I know why.  A full day hunched over a serger and coverstitch machine after a dinner date with some new friends that lasted until 2:00 am Sunday morning, and a too late night last night getting a massive order ready to ship, cleaning up some in the kitchen and doing the dishes. 

Still, a good weekend for all that.  The largest order in the shop is out, the house got a good cleaning on Saturday getting ready for dinner... It's amazing what gets done when two people are united to a common goal and common love, eh rowangolightly ?

I don't have to worry about my hubby ever reading my journal, as he doesn't have one and has no interest in having one. I have to put the laptop in front of his face if I want him to read something I've written or that someone else has written. A good bit of the time, he has gotten it in email before I post, anyway.

I readily admit to having email as my first choice for communication with most people. It allows me the opportunity to sort out what I really want to say before I have to say it. Face to face or phone conversation can be very difficult for me, because I am someone who wants desperately to be understood by the people around me, and the best way I know to do that is choose my words very carefully. The differences in my communication styles between oral and written communcation can be very startling to people who have only seen my written work and then have a conversation with me for the first time.
