It's a long weekend over here in most of Canada (BC day, and I did try to look up its significance so I could share it with you, but there evidently is none). So on Monday Keith and I were able to chat in his pm and my afternoon rather than our usual 10:30pm Vanc / 6:30am London time. Whenever we get to do this we try to give Keith a chance to have a lie in the next day and skip the chat for the day. We both agreed to this when we hung up in the afternoon... But then I realized when I got home from a movie, that the day we had decided to skip our daily chat is... our second wedding anniversary.
Hmm... So I splurged on a €0.01 per minute Skype call to his office so that I could say happy anniversary. Note the occasion was still not worthy of a €0.25 per minute Skype call to his cell phone.
His colleague picked up and my mutt accent immediately gave me away, but shockingly we are just so awful with sentiment that when Keith was told maybe his wife had called that he still did not put 2 and 2 together!!! I called him back after 15 mins and now we are no longer abnormal emotionless husband and wife who cannot be bothered to send each other cards for their anniversary (wait that part still stands). I think the fact that I remembered first makes me the better spouse.
And if our shocking lack of thoughtfulness makes you concerned for our marriage, well be reassured! Because...
KEITH'S CANADIAN IMMIGRATION HAS BEEN APPROVED! Go London Canadian Immigration Office, you exceeded expectations by processing our paperwork 5 months earlier than your online estimates. So we will soon be reunited and I shall not have to risk forgetting Keith's 30th birthday in October! Whew!
