My husband has been in New York working on a deal since last Thursday. Apparently they've all holed up in a conference room for 20 hours a day and are getting about 3 hours of sleep a night. At first I thought, "Well, he's done it before..." and I felt bad for him, but not overly concerned. Then I started getting texts messages and emails that looked like this: "Tooppo Night unoppo" and "Getting kikked but weshouyld b e abe to closr tomerow"
Whaaaaat?
Have I mentioned that Mr. Man is a grammar extremist? He's sent emails to me with grammatical corrections for the blog like, "You really should consider putting two spaces after the period of your sentences." Even his text messages are meticulous. I will texts such as "C U L8R" just to drive him batty.
So I think I am justifably concerned. The thought that saves me from overrecting is that he's probably texting under the table and is just too busy to check. Perhaps he figures that I (one who plays fast and loose with rules of grammar) will take it all in stride. I'm trying to be unconcerned. I just hope this isn't a long-term ailment. I wonder if a lawyer can go on disability for forgetting how to spell?
It's true that spelling and grammar are the first things to go when tired. Today I could not spell the most basic words (after, prime, bible) and I've also had a tough week. Time for Mr. Man to come home for some good lovin'!
