Yes, I'm definitely losing the edge. Hard to know why, but maybe something to do with old age (yep, turning the big three zero this year). Anyway, you know how after several years of marriage, you can stay completely focused on the ball game on TV and still manage to answer your wife's question without being fully conscious that she'd even asked one in the first place?
Well, Zoe says to me this morning, "Sorry for being so snappy with you lately".
"You haven't been snappy," comes my intsaprogrammed response.
What the...?!
A year ago I would have milked that for all it was worth ("Yeah, it's been tough around here, but I just took it coz I love you. But maybe I could go climbing with Dan this weekend to de-stress. Oh, and the boys are having a few beers on Thursday..."). I must confess, I'm at a complete loss. The disappointment in myself is complete. Any advice from the more experienced on how to reverse - or at least halt - the decline would be most gratefully received.
