Coding and Sleeping

It has not been a good weekend. I started coming down with a cold Friday afternoon. Yeah, just a cold, but the kind with a fever and the works. Yesterday I was just out of it, spent most of the day asleep and had aches and chills. My wife is really angry with me for not doing anything around the house yesterday and apparently thinks I barely do anything the rest of the time which doesn't seem accurate (I'm the one who makes dinner, I usually do at least a load of dishes a day, I take care of the cars, I take care of paying bills, I take care of taxes, I usually the one who puts away laundry, I take out trash and recyclables...). She seemed really angry I didn't feel up to making dinner last night, but I'm not sure having someone sick make you dinner is a good call anyhow. I think I've started getting better but I have a lot of aches and pains this morning.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

FFS, you're sick. You shouldn't be handling the food.

She should get off her lazy fucking ass and pick up the slack when her partner is ill.

Our wings are not tired.

That isn't how you treat someone when they are sick, or ever. You know you are being abused, Gud.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

apparently thinks I barely do anything the rest of the time which doesn't seem accurate

I'm glad you realize this.

Thrive to spite them

Gud I'm glad you realize that you do most of the work and that she isn't accurate about claiming you don't do anything around the house.

She is lying about how much you do as a way to hurt you emotionally and also make you feel bad about yourself.

I could've ordered grocery delivery but like to choose my own stuff

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

I waited too long to get lunch, now I'm hungry and cranky and I can't decide what I want.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

I wonder if I rent a bicycle, how far I could get riding it into the Market Basket before someone noticed? If I timed it just right during kickoff....

I filed my income taxes! I got everything I paid back because of the car purchase, but I hadn't actually paid all that much. Oh well.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I'm sorry you're sick, Gud. I'm glad you can see that your wife's complaints are not accurate. I hope you feel better soon, and she lays off and chills out.

I'm not planning on watching the game, but I had salt and vinegar wings for lunch because they were on sale. Yum!
