And now that Em is back, it's back to being yelled at and criticized a good deal of the time. Still, worth it to have Em back.

The danger of wooden blocks for the very small is they may throw them. (I mean, two and three year olds may well throw them also, but. Heck, my 10 year old throws things sometimes still.)

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
Gud, is any family counselling planned as part of Em's treatment?

I'm glad Em's home, Gud, if not so much the side effects.
Last week I took a few days off and cleaned the spare room. Well, the closet and desk, which were the big things. I'd hoped to do more, but eh, whatever. Anyway, today I carried on the cleaning theme by washing the kitchen cupboards with Murphy oil soap. Now everything smells vaguely citrusy. The weather's lovely, so I have all the windows open. Later, I'm going to bake some bread--I'm trying this no-knead recipe where to dough sits in the fridge for a few days to gain flavor. But first, a shower.

Log it. Log it all.

I hope that's not hard for Em to witness/deal with.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
I am trying to get my husband out the door to go back to Dallas. It's not easy.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
I saw an adolescent going down the street on a hoverboard, wearing a gorilla mask. My little neighborhood just got a bit more interesting.

Yeah. She might not have heard this morning's with her headphones on in a different room. She did mention one of the things that stresses her is when my wife yells at me. Sometimes Em's also mentioned that my wife sometimes gets on me for almost nothing. I've tried to downplay it, but that's probably not a good thing to do. Why do things have to be so tough?
Right now I'm hoping my wife will move to another location in the house, there's a bunch of stuff I want to clean up in the kitchen and living room, but it would make too much noise with her right there. She's already gotten on me about cleaning too loudly.
Man, that really makes her sound like an ogre, but she's not. She's just under a lot of stress and has insecurities. I mean, it's what's happening, but describing it makes it sound more critical than I mean.
