Dumb

Do to an unclear wording on a document, my husband had to go to work tonight to sign a different version of something he signed days ago (but was only just told that they’d prefer the differently worded version), in order not to incur a $300 fine and losing something important (which is simply due to a disagreement on the interpretation of wording, remember). Instead of wasting five and a half hours in the car – because his days off are a rare chance for him to spend time with his family – I said to go ahead and spend the money we would have lost, so that he won’t have the marks against him and lose the important part of his work, but so that we also don’t lose so much time together. So, he’s flying to work, which cuts the time down about in half. So, it should take him three or three and a half hours total instead of five and a half to six hours. Not to mention that it is much more entertaining and interesting for him to fly versus drive, and he rarely gets to fly longer distances like that these days.

So, it sucks a lot, but we’re making the best of a dumb situation. He’s also going while we’ll be in bed, so it isn’t as bad of a situation of his being gone during daylight hours or while he could be playing with our daughter instead.

God, keep him safe and whole, please. Make us well and keep us safe and together. In your name, I pray. Amen.
