Gina Torres was at the wedding! I was so surprised to see her picture.

It speaks well of the Duchess of Sussex that with all the world to invite to her wedding she made space for a bunch of co-workers.

And what is your wife doing this weekend, Gud?

Working on her business, so she's been busy. She's been trying to start her own counseling practice for the past year. So far it hasn't been going great.

I hadn't even considered that I would know people attending the royal wedding. Turns out there were at least two people I've worked with there!

Oh wow!

I keep yelling, "Her friends from work!!"

I didn't realize (or forgot?) that Gina Torres and Laurence Fishburne had broken up.

Ugh. I forgot to hook up the host from the rail barrel to the pond and made the pond miss out on a bunch of rain, so now my wife is pretty angry with good cause. I really wish I could stop making mistakes. After she yells at me I always end up feeling really depressed and it's hard to get work done. But I have to hide that because if she knew that, she'd end up feeling guilty about it and that isn't fair. She has a right to be angry when I screw up. The problem is that I screw up a lot. Ugh. I think it's just going to be a bad day.

That is fucking BULLSHIT. You are being complicit in her abuse of you.

Every human being screws up. I screw up. I make mistakes, I drop things, I break things. You know what my husband DOESN'T do? Get angry at me. Because that's fucking abusive.

I dropped a full gallon of milk once -- a plastic jug -- and the container split along its seam vertically and there was a flood of milk on the kitchen floor. I "screwed up" and wasted a full gallon of milk. You know what Tim did? Grabbed paper towels and helped me mop it up. You know what I did? I physically tensed up and braced myself because I expected him to yell and rage at me for making a mess and wasting food, because that kind of reaction is what my mother did to me my entire childhood. Because she was abusive.

Tim didn't do that. Because you don't get angry and abuse your spouse when they are human and make mistakes. You roll with it. You act with understanding and compassion. If you happen to get annoyed or irritated, you own that shit and DON'T take it out on them because that's fucking abusive bullshit.

What Teppy said, Gud. Also?

A consistent lack of perception of and empathy with another person's difficulty and emotional pain doesn't bode well for a career in "counseling." IJS.

Yeah, I'm 100% UNsurprised that her attempt at being a counselor isn't going well. If my therapist berated and abused me for being human, I would have stopped seeing her after the first session.

So glad to know there is a counselor out there to avoid at all costs. I bet she smells like a bad temper and patients are afraid of her despite whatever veneer of professionalism she is able to manifest temporarily.

Perhaps someday someone will punch her in the face. She will be able to blame others.

Timelies all!

There's this big, bright thing in the sky. What could it be? :)
