My Accident (Nanowrimo2018)

Chapter 29

When they got back to the house, they talked and laughed. When they were back in the bedroom, Katrina and Michael were all over each other. Katrina was happy to have such a great day and then being able to end it laying in bed with her favorite person in the world. Katrina was just trying to treasure the moment. She didn't want their relationship to turn out like other relationships when the married couples end up cheating because everything gets boring and they get tired of each other. She knew she needed to figure out a way to stop her brain for focusing on all the negative statistics. She had to get herself to just enjoy what's in front of her. She knew she had to stop loving her life to fit what other people thought about how she remembered her past relationships. She knew with being married her life has been better than most. She knew she had a devoted husband and she should be proud of that.

Katrina knew it was time to start living her life to the fullest. She knew she needed to stop worrying about everything and just give it to God. She knew with God watching over her, there was nothing she couldn't do. She knew her faith was stronger than anything. Katrina knew Michael wasn't the only one in their relationship who depended on God. Katrina did the same and knew she needed to just step aside take a deep breath and then step back into being herself.

Michael and Katrina stayed wrapped in each other for the rest of the months that passed. Katrina felt like everything was as it should be. She knew Michael was going to be home a little more. Michael had gotten a schedule change. He would be able to come home earlier since the hospital got some new doctors working. With life changing around them, they found a way to stay true to themselves and each other. Katrina and Michael were inseparable. It made Katrina less worried to know Michael was home and not at the hospital working the long shifts. She knew it wasn't going to last long either.

She knew she needed to enjoy the moments while it lasted. She felt comfortable with him around. She knew she was supposed to since he was her husband after all. Katrina knew with time there was going to be a hint of separation. She knew it was coming and she didn't want to dread on it. She knew with two months time he would be back working long shifts and calling in between. As the weeks came and passed, Katrina made sure she spent a good amount of time with Michael. She made sure he was well taken care of.

Katrina also knew she was allowing herself to be distracted. She was being distracted from what she was really supposed to be doing. She was supposed to be out making memories instead of always being at work and being home. She knew she could talk to Michael and he would listen to her. She knew he was a great confidant. Katrina thought about how much she still wanted to do. She was thankful Michael was helping her with the bucket list. She also knew it didn't stop there. She knew she could find other things to do in her spare time.

The following Monday, Katrina got off from work early. She decided to go to Starbucks and get a coffee. She went to Barnes and Noble and went through the aisles. She was thinking about all the different genres of books. She thought about all the books she had read as a child. She thought about the books she had on the nook. She even thought about the books she had at home on the shelves. Katrina was wondering if she could find the books she had written.

Katrina ended up coming out the store with four new books and two new journals. Katrina was pleased with herself. She put her bags in the car, and got in the drivers seat. She started the car and headed to the music store. When she got to the music store she went looking for a guitar. She was going to buy a guitar for herself. She hadn't had one since she was a child. She was going to learn it even if it took a long while. She was also going to get a keyboard. She knew how to play from when she was a teen. It has just been many years.

Katrina had a plan for herself. She was going to be worldly and do as many diverse things as possible. She liked to sing and she loved music. She knew she liked exercise and she was going to keep fit by keep doing what she was doing. Katrina spent a good amount of money in the music store. She got a Yamaha keyboard and she got an acoustic guitar. Katrina left the store with a huge smile on her face. When she got home, she took everything to her writing studio. As soon as she sat her bags down, her phone began to ring.

When she answered the phone it was her little sister. Katrina got excited and she listened as her baby sister told her about her toys and asked where she was. Katrina had a soft spot for the little girl. Bri Bri was her youngest and only sister who truly made Katrina want a baby. When they were done talking, Katrina put her phone on the charger and went back to deciding where to put her music supply. Katrina turned the light on and took all the stuff out the bags. As she was setting everything up, she heard the door. Michael came in and said, "honey I'm here." Katrina smiled, said, "baby, I'm in the writing space." Michael said, "I'm coming." He put his bag down and walked down the hall. When he got by her writing room door, he saw her moving the books on her shelf. He said, "babe what are you doing?"

Katrina said, "I'm trying to fix up my space. I got  some new items." "I see you have. What are you going to do with these instruments?" "I'm going to play them of course." "I know that. I just want to know where you are going to get the time to do this." "I'm going to make the time to do it. I'm going to do what I can and take lessons when I can too. I'm going to do this for me. It's going to be fun." Katrina had a big smile on her face. Michael said, "babe I think that is so wonderful." "Me too. I hope you can get on board with me." "Of course."

Michael said, "I support you in everything you do. You should know that by now. If you want to follow music I am all for it. We will just have to find the time to get you lessons and the prices for it. We have to put forth an effort and make sure it will work with what we already have planned out." "I am totally okay with that. From here on out that's what we will do. We'll do everything together and make sure we have time to do our own thing too." As time went on Katrina was getting better at her hobbies and Michael was back to working on science courses. He had always had a passion for it.

Katrina and Michael took their lives in a whole different light. They lived as if they were young and continued to take trips and do what they always wanted. They made sure they did take care of themselves and their home. They made sure they built on their actual intimacy and stayed true to one another as they promised they would.
