“mixing the pre workout for my husband before he went to the gym was something i had always done. he said it was because he didn’t know how. i knew it was because he really didn’t want to.
i didn’t mind. it made me feel useful. i’d still roll my eyes and ask him why can’t he do it himself, but it had become a ritual and something that i just became used to doing. as well as the protein shake and the celery juice, that would be ready for him when he returned.”
