I hope you get some relief soon, Burrell. Long overdue.

That is good news, Jesse. I agree with the thoughts above. You will know what you need to do.

Burrell, I hope the Utah trip includes some moments to breathe.

It is so hard watching someone you love making bad choice after bad choice. And now those bad choices are finally creating bad consequences and the person won't clue into the connection in choice and result. I know nothing I say or do will make a difference and it sucks holding my tongue.

I know that one. Except I apparently suck at holding my tongue. I guess I have to get it out although I know it won't change anything.

Also, KITTIES! I have been holding off until I move, but I miss having my kitty.

OK, my mother says for sure it's fine not to go today, and we can go tomorrow after work. And Saturday and Sunday. I pointed out that I don't anticipate going every day, going forward.

Now I want a cat. Preferably in a basket.

I moved the car for street cleaning before anyone came around, so the day is already starting as a win. Take that, The Man!

Conversations I have with my husband: "Have you decided what the plan is for Easter (i.e. are we going to your sister's house or are we hosting?)" "When is Easter?" "Sunday." "THIS Sunday?" "Yes, dear."

I mean, is it too much to once a week look at the calendar? I am looking at it EVERY DAY.

Our husbands should not be allowed to know each other.

Me: "It's your brother's birthday today."
Him: "What? Today?"
Me: "It's on the calendar in the kitchen, where the food lives. I even HIGHLIGHTED the birthdays so they would jump out at you."
Him: "Yeah, but that doesn't help if I don't look at the calendar."
Me: "Forcing you to direct your eyeballs toward the calendar, and making your brain comprehend what is written there, is where I draw the line at 'helping' you."

I look at 2 calendars every day. Multiple times a day. Sheesh.

I can't keep track of holidays at all. Last year I sent out a meeting invite for January 1.

Thank god for Outlook, is what. I try to make sure to block off the holidays, because I too have sent out meeting invites for days when the office is closed. "Wow! Everyone is available that day!" Yeah, no.

Birthdays now are Facebook or nothing for me. Although I am trying really hard to remember to order my mother flowers for when I'm out of town on her bday next week. I just tried to call the shop, but there was no answer.

You need a wife, Brenda.

I have to remind DH of sibling and his mother's birthday and all holidays too. Um, that is what calendaring software is for. I wouldn't remember otherwise either. With my memory issues I have always kept everything in one tool or another.

I also would like a wife.
