The headache really spiked earlier (it isn’t great now either but I’m trying), and while I was trying to soothe myself (THC cream and peppermint oil on temples, controlled breathing, etc), I took a moment to sneakily spy on Michael cutting the rafters he’s installing today.
He caught me, of course. The addition can only be seen from within the cabin through one corner window, plus I was partly wedged behind the wood stove so I couldn’t step out of view terribly quickly. Then questions ensued.
Michael: What’s wrong? Are you okay?
Me: Head hurts, trying to decide if I’m going to write off the day by taking a triptan.
Michael: *grimancing* I’m sorry. I can come in.
Me: *grinning* That’s okay, I’m enjoying the view.
Michael: View … of …?
Me: You … measuring, cutting … carrying the rafters.
Michael: *laughing huskily* ogling me, are you?
Me, primly: Well, you are my husband.
Anyway – to my point – when you start hitting scenes in the Archivist series (specifically starting in book 1) featuring a sexy carpenter/contractor with strong hands, muscled wrists and forearms, carrying terribly heavy things, you’ll all be exceedingly aware of my inspiration.
Back to writing the actual book!
I love that you are inspired by your love! We all should be that lucky 🙂 I hope your head clears up for a bit. I know that, that is hard to accomplish (I use to get chronic migraines when I was a young adult, seems to run in my family about that age), so my fingers are crossed and I will burn a healing candle for you.
❤️ Thank you! ❤️
I love your Michael stories! It’s not often readers find out the inspiration behind the manly men in their favored authors’ books. I hope you get to feeling better soon.
Thank you!
It is going to be lovely!
Michael knows when to hide 🙂
So sorry to hear you’re suffering so much. What a sweet hubby you have willing to come in and comfort you. Nice to know there are spouses like us out there that still “enjoy the view” after many years! Love is grand! 💓
It’s true. 21+ years and we are still very into each other. I think we might be very lucky.
You guys are so cute!
Feel better soon
It wonderful to have your inspiration so “handy”! 💜💜💜
Very!!
Yup can so relate to spying on the loved one. Mine writes music, so I have my own musician…yap I’m a fan girl 😉
It’s nice to see another couple ogling at each other. I’ve been married to my husband for 32 years and we still ogle each other all the time. He was shocked I still looked at him the same way when he was going through chemo and lost all his hair. Like I told him I see the love not what’s outside anymore. Hope you feel better soon.
❤️
Eye candy makes anything better!
