EZ, is it possible that the tension and stress between you and your boss at your job is affecting her emotionally? That might account for the sense of tiredness. Sometimes mental stress makes us more tired than physical activity. Keeping you and her in our prayers and hope all turns out okay.

CS Rivendell in a Don Carlos blasted full bent brandy with fresh Columbia Peaks coffee. Temp says 35 but feels warmer. 5 or 6 doves squabbling over the feeder.

It was a rookie morning. Very nice, clear, bright sun morning, but I packed the bowl like crap and could not remedy it. Leaf in the airhole. Battled it the entire way, and I finally gave up. An Italian straight with Luxury Navy Flake. That's alright, though. Battling a little anxiety, distracted, and my heart wasn't in it.

Just got back from the Cardiologist office/hospital. Cardiologist and I spoke on the phone,Wife was not to happy about that. I drove her over to see him- He wanted to see her immediately. he noticed her breathing problem and asked her if she slept last night because she looked terrible. I told him she had slept 12 hours. While waiting for them to set up the EKG machine,He questioned her about thyroid problems. The EKG results were not horrible,but he said certain patterns are a cause for concern. He decided that she needed to be admitted to the hospital to do a test to see if she if she has a new blockage . she had a couple of stents done 3 or so years ago. Sadly her whole family has a history of heart issues. Some of which are no longer with us because of their inability to take this seriously....
I believe I did the right thing,no matter what she says,Hey,it would not be the first time I am in the doghouse.
Smoking a Bari, with MB Seven seas and a decaf.

I'm enjoying Charring Cross in a Peterson System Rusticated 303 and enjoying the aroma of Japanese fried rice my wife is cooking to accompany seared salmon.

I believe I did the right thing,no matter what she says

You did! My wife would have done the same thing over my objections!

 

[EZONSLOW]

OK,guys great news.Just got off the phone with the cardio Dr. My wife has had the procedure done and required 4 new stents,He said it went very well and she`s in recovery.He told me as precautionary measure he would like to keep her there overnight to monitor her,which I agreed to. I am going to take the high road here... no gloating,or I told you so.
I am not going to mention any of the crap she put me thru this morning as I believe in my heart that God was guiding me... Broke out a 15 dollar cigar to celebrate with. LOL!

After a wonderful dinner I broke out my Peterson System Standard 317 and rubbed out and loaded half a Dunhill Flake. I poured a Sweet Vermouth and Sparkling Water and started catching up on "1883."
