Reckless

So yesterday I get this text message from Jacks “Hey, will you check on Jess for me she’s fractured her wrist and is home alone”. Ok sure, why not, it’s rainy here and I have late appointments.
She and I have this tag team affinity between us that we make jabs at one another, makes chatting fun. She fell in school in a puddle of water in the hallway and landed trying to catch herself -- natural reaction. Thus fracturing her wrist, this of course is very painful, so much so she takes pain meds that make her sick! What gets me is she is just like Jackson and runs to a Doc In The Box instead of going to her own doctor and getting the proper medications that may not make her ill. Ok Jess, I’m getting off your case now. Anyway, we had a nice long chat and giggled about my brother for a while then she drifted off to dreamland.
I checked out their project they are working on together -- it’s amazing. The house is one that Jacks drew for his new job, now they are decorating and landscaping. I didn’t know he had it in him. As you walk in the whole house it’s filled with love, time and patience put throughout the whole project. He says it has a lot of work and she says it’s perfect I have no opinion on the subject. Funny, he is very protective of this one, no one can add anything to it without his consent - it angers him and he grouses to me. I like to see him like that about his work, means he's taking pride in it. You can see both of their talents in it, she’s the shopper of the pair and he’s the creator.
The whole day each time we would come to a topic somehow it floated back to Jacks in one form or another. She loves him so. If I tried to knock him in a teasing way she would defend him and scold me for saying so. He of course loves her just as much, thinking of her the whole time he’s away and having to work. His conversations seem to go back to her as well, on things she said, or done or what they plan to do in the future. He busts his ass to be with her and make her happy, this I know because I’ve seen it. Juggling school and work and then coming home to her cant be the easiest task to pull but he does it with a smile.
Why do I call this reckless? Well, the two of them have to be the clumsiest people on the planet. One will get sick or injured as if in a competition, from walking pneumonia and car wrecks, fractured wrists, flu’s, stomach viruses they have shared it all, neither taking the time to take care of them selves properly for the other.
This is my rant for today since my weekend wasn’t really anything to comment on. There is always next weekend!

Thanks Jacks for the song Pink- Glitter In The Air
