Bob: Where can I put this (cannister of pringles), so Grant won't forget it in the morning?
Me: Nowhere. He will forget it.
Bob: lol
Me: I'm being serious. If you want to make sure he takes something, I usually put it under his wallet or tape it to the front door, but neither of those strategies is guaranteed.

The other morning I walked around looking at the lunch he'd left in the fridge, and the iPod he'd loaded with music but then left, and his bathroom disarray. I sent him an amused email saying that while I can walk around and laugh lovingly about my absent minded husband, I think if he were anyone else I'd assume he'd been abducted while in the middle of getting ready for work and call the police.




I got a lot of nothing done today. Meaning I accomplished most everything on my to-do list but none of it amounted to anything.

-I swept as I often do and mopped for the first time in forever, but the floor is already messed up again
-I made phone calls I've been needing to, but just left messages and got lackluster results
-Went to take the CPT with Laura in place to babysit only to find the testing hours I'd double checked were actually only for all the other campuses

I cried a lot. About my faith issues and my marriage issues. And felt better about both, and then worse, and then better again. Grant is more than willing to talk/cry with me. This is best when it merges into ultra-lovey sex.

I have an appt on Friday, with the therapist he started seeing on Saturday.
And a study guide, for the CPT, so maybe I can brush up some math skills (HAHA) before I take it.

I'm eating WAY TOO MUCH as a coping technique and keep thinking I have to stop that immediately. Burying the gonna-puke anxiety feeling is not working; I just add indigestion. Then eat more.

Hopefully I'm gonna go to bed now, and actually be able to sleep. Because today, I really can't tell what is really my thoughts and makes sense, and what is just sleep deprivation because last night, I just hurt too much to sleep.

I'm so sorry there are problems between you guys. You seem like such a loving and honest couple. There are a lot of stressors on the two of you though, and it's only natural for those to have some effect. It's great you are taking charge of the situation and getting help. You and your family are in my thoughts.

Prayers for you all the way from Montreal.

Can we be friends? If I could draw check yes or no boxes, I would. I feel that goofy about asking. I really dig you and I love reading what you write.

Thank you :)

Also, this is so insanely sweet <3 I feel REALLY AWKWARD AND HORRIBLE saying that I am not really adding anyone because I'm having a very hard time finding "internet time" as it is and try hard to read and comment on everyone I have added now...but I feel like such a giant asshole :/ I sometimes get time and end up going and lurk-reading and/or commenting on people who have me added but it seems wrong to me to just add people I'm gonna skim and scroll by. Please don't take this the wrong way! I don't mind you adding me AT ALL and hope you understand. Ever since I started trying to prioritize writing I have to TRY to update this thing, and I know it's only going to get worse when I'm taking classes as well, come summer...

No hard feelings whatsoever - I completely understand. I'll just keep, you know, reading and lurking :)

"...because last night, I just hurt too much to sleep."

That is such a sad thing to read.

I hope you're feeling better.

It was pretty terrible.

I am feeling better tonight. I hope I can keep feeling better.
