Happy birthday, Scrappy!
I'm visiting family this week. So far it's been delightful.
I don't really have a security blanket... unless you count Mr. Pointy.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
Happy birthday, Scrappy!
Meanwhile, ltc woke up saying "what are we doing today? Another party?"
Heh. The answer to the first question is "managing expectations".

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Funnily enough, we have strawberries to use up, so I went looking through strawberry recipes to see what I was willing to bake with the ingredients actually in the house. Add one overripe banana, and strawberry-banana muffins are in the oven.
The fruit makes them healthy, right?

Our wings are not tired.
Berry filled muffins are totally healthy, and should be in front of me steaming with melted butter.

Back at work today. Just have to figure out the intro music to play when I call into my scrum meeting later this morning.

Crap. My wife started a new part-time job and today was her first day of training. She send me a text message with some reminders of things to do (take out the garbage which I had already done and wake up my son which I didn't know I had to do since he doesn't have work or school today). I just texted back that I would take care of it. Now she's angry that I didn't wish her luck on her first day. I always fuck things up. I'll get there isn't another husband who would forget that. What is wrong with me?

You are back at work after being in the hospital. Did she ask how you were feeling? Did you get angry with her?
You Did Nothing Wrong!!! You do not deserve being abused.
If Brendon forgot to ask me about something I thought he should remember I might mock him and joke about it, feign being sad, but never would I be angry over something so insignificant.

How angry is she? Not talking to you/ screaming invective/ just a little miffed?

Hard to say over text. Usually glares and not talking except for verbal digs.

Not so, my friend! (Especially a husband who just got back from the hospital, IJS.)
