Congratulations to your husband. It's good that you view having more time together as a positive thing. It's definitely an adjustment though, I'm sure.

My husband worked his last shift tonight; he worked at the free standing clinic. Someone had to cover the empty slots during the last 9 years he was employed at the hospital. He's been a wonderful and accountable employee; always ready to work.

He looks tired and it makes me teary when I see his weary eyes. But, he refused to retire sooner and therefore reached age 67.

It is going to be strange to have him around the clock now. I've spent many a nights, 12 or 16 hour shifts alone but I'm sure we will enjoy being a couple ~ once again.

Hello, if he was like me working all hours almost like shift work for 50 years, eating breakfast at midnight, lunch at 8AM and dinner at noon for the love of GOD be patient with him as he sounds like a good man. Be blessed.

All is well @Macfan . He's finally getting the much needed rest and sleep.
