What we did today...

Today, DH woke up in a GREAT mood. I think part of it was the CPAP, and part of it was just the bipolar illness starting to become more stable and DH getting back to being the same person he was when I married him....but anyhow....

DH wanted to go and play mini-golf. I had some doubts about it because the mini-golf place is an hour and a half away, and the last time we went, before I started blogging, "That Guy" showed up and came very close to punching a police officer. So I wasn't all that confident that it was a good idea. But we packed DD and Jim into the car, and off we went.

When we got there, it was sunny and warm. And we were all looking forward to playing. We were kind of slow, because there were four of us, none of whom were very good, so we let a few groups go ahead of us. When there was nobody behind us any more, we started to play, and almost immediately the sky clouded up, and at about Hole 4 (out of 18), it started to pour. A very drenching rain. DH had told Jim that he "always" beats me at mini-golf, and at that point I was actually below par and had one hole-in-one, too. So I didn't want to quit, and DH didn't want to quit because he wanted to beat me, and DD and Jim just wanted to play because they were having fun.

And you know what? It was really fun. Definitely a day we won't forget...when we were done, I had to go into the bathroom and use the hand blow-dryer thingy to try to dry my shirt a little. It didn't really work, but it warmed me up....we had eventually stopped keeping score, because the scorecard fell apart :-( so I don't now what the real score was, but it was still very fun. And "That Guy" didn't show up at all, not even for a second!!! It was wonderful, for sure. Like old times. There is definitely hope.
