Even though I made the appointment to see the therapist…I am only seeing her next Monday. That is enough time for me to be sweetened up…to be fooled into believing everything will be okay and then just cancel the therapist.

Today while I was at work…he told me how he was feeling really bad…he was getting hot flushes…struggling to breathe…he was so sure he had Covid. Being a typical Wife, I packed up my work stuff…finished emergency things…told my HR that I was going and will come back tomorrow…the new Gazette in South Africa states that unless you have symptoms of Covid, even if you have been in contact with a positive person you are to still go to work…there is no such thing as

   or 

anymore. They are still deciding to allow employers to fire those that are not vaxed….as if unemployment isn’t bad enough already! But in all fairness I think everyone should just suck it up and get the jab!

So I get home…he climbs into the car…looking as if death has been knocking on his door.  I get a whiff of alcohol…but I just think that that just maybe from the past few days…although he swears he hasn’t been drinking.

We get to the Covid Testing…and he becomes his suave self and chats up the security guard, the receptionist, random people walking by…

He gets tested…damn it is fast! When I got tested it was a lengthy thing!  Anyway so you can now get results within 20 minutes…I had to wait like 3 days just to be told I am negative and can go have an operation or go into the clinic.

Anyway he turns out to be

Thank G-d!

So I am driving home…he goes on about how he knows his body and he needs to see a doctor…I tell him with all the rubbish he has put in his body it is expected for his body to give in and get sick…he should just stay away from work, drink water and clean out his system…he then goes on that he has been drinking for years so his body can handle it! 

He goes on about how he needs a doctor’s note for his work…I tell him that he has spoken to his HR and they know he is feeling shit, and South African Labor Law allows you to be sick for a day…should you be sick for longer, then you must provide a Doctor’s Note…NOPE I AM WRONG! – he says.

Get to the doctor…Temperature Check! Sign In! He calls his Work…they tell him they get he isn’t feeling well and he doesn’t need to see the doctor…he should just relax and come back to work on Thursday! So now I am annoyed! But I feel bad for feeling annoyed when he could have had Covid or be really sick.

Now this is every woman’s dream…but it isn’t mine because it means that he has in fact been drinking…

We get home and he refuses to lye down and do nothing…he sure didn’t mind doing that this weekend while I did some cleaning….so since he cannot work and is filled with alcohol he is CLEANING!!!

 I don’t get why alcohol fuels him to clean…you would think I would love it when he drinks.
