Major Wife Points

Yesterday after Mah Jongg I got a text from Russ from Washington, DC, “Are you home?”
I texted back, “yes.”  
“I have a big favor. I got a last minute meeting here and instead of coming home tonight I need to stay and I need you to FedEx me a suit.”
Russ is not a guy who can buy a suit off the rack. He can’t even buy pants off the rack because clothing manufacturers decided long go not to make pants long enough for the likes of Russ Lange. I went to his closet and assembled an outfit of suit, good shirt, matching tie and socks. Only then did I look up delivery times on Fed Ex. It seemed like it was going to be almost impossible for me to send him a package that absolutely would get to him in time to dress for an early morning meeting.
I called him back. “I’m driving you your suit.” So that is what I did. I jumped in the car, with a small bag for myself and left Shay home to be cared for by Carter. Oh yeah, I also texted Carter that she was on her own. It was an easy drive, being non-rush hour and I was in DC by dinner time.  
Russ got up early and looked dashing in his little worn suit and was off to the meeting. I had a leisurely morning where I walked around my first DC neighborhood, DuPont Circle, visiting my very first apartment. On my way to pick Russ up from his Washington office I stopped in Warby Parker and picked out a new pair of glasses which were my reward for being a suit delivery service.
This afternoon I drove Russ to Richmond to see another client and got home just in time to go to a fund raiser for Reality Ministries. It was fun to drop everything and go to DC with no plans or responsibilities. I wish I had more time to see my friends, but it was refreshing to not be rushing from hither to yon. I am looking forward to empty nest time so I can travel with Russ a little more, even at the last minute.

    Dana; they should do a network TV show about you. They could call it “The Good Wife’ – oh wait I think that’s been done. How about ‘The Good Concierge’. Cheers
