3. TODAY'S SELF-OBSERVATION
So today marks the beginning of "honeymoon at home" - two weeks of couple quality time. Being a typical introvert personality, though I don't like being pulled off jobs by others, but if I'm mentally geared up in advance for something, in this case for Missus quality time, I will throw myself into it.

Because I am a carer, the dynamic is different from the norm. Missus may have ideas about what she wants, but she counts on me to initiate, plan and execute everything. It is of course pointless to resent this and better to embrace the role full-on. 

It's not without its rewards. I get unprecedented freedom for a husband, and I am worshipped and adored, which I unashamedly enjoy. Few people will be so fortunate as to be on the receiving end of such blind devotion. I like to think I deal with this responsibly. I certainly do not abuse it and take pleasure in keeping her happy. She is very well cared for.

I have not planned out the fortnight - we'll take opportunities to be spontaneous and I will count on my intuition to guide us through each day.

8. TRIVIA
The game Angry Birds has sold millions of copies across the world on Apple’s iPhone. The game was made by a team of just four people. It was such a low priority for the company that it took over 8 months to finish.

The fortitude to fight on through to the very end—this strength is not only the basis of happiness, it is also the force by which social wrongs can be righted.
