Dammit. DS’ 1/2 size cello case zipper broke in January and I ordered a new 3/4 one that’s much nicer. Now trying to exchange instrument up to 3/4 size, would like to keep the nicer case, but apparently I threw away the old broken one and the rental shop wants it back?? This is not doing anything to help counter my hoarding inclinations

Our wi-fi is better but not perfect, so called ATT and they are shipping a new modem which will be a whole 'nother ball of wax to install. I am so done with technology at this point. I have to have security cams and burglar alarms but they are a PITA for sure. First world problems, yeah.
DH is making supper and we're head to the big Mediterranean grocery tomorrow a.m.

DH is eating bologna sandwiches with “cheese” on “bread”. Add mayo and that's how I eat it. I do also tend to like the things others consider vile.

DN1's eulogy to his Grandma was about her making Miracle Whip and bologna sandwiches on white bread. He would not eat that now.

I hated bologna when I was a kid and still hate it. I hated miracle whip too. We never had wonder bread though. My mom usually made bread. Sometimes for a treat she made cinnamon raisin bread.

We are now under contract at 417 Lawndale Drive, Pearisburg, VA! We have also been approved for the HELOC so we can pay cash for the new house. We will be changing the flooring from carpet and LVP to Laminate. That will be done after the closing on 7/30. Yay! We will now be close to DD and the grandkids. Congrats! I hope we have grandkids one day. And then we will have to move to Texas to be close to them!

I'm having a weird day today. I found out my old high school crush passed away. It didn't happen recently, it's been awhile, but I only heard about it now. It's a strange feeling (no, I never thought we'd get together now). It's like the earth opened up, and took away part of your history. Plus, I don't even know the details of how he died. I always think it's a shame when anyone doesn't live to be old enough to retire. I hope his wife & kids are doing o.k. My high school boyfriend died about two years ago. My sister still lives in the town where he did. She actually called me to let me know. He had been in very bad health for many years. But it was still hard to hear. And you're right, they are a big part of your past and now it's just gone.

Anyone watch The Boys on Amazon Prime? Some of my co-workers have talked about so I checked it out. I’ve been semi-watching it and listening to it while I’ve been working for the past 2 days. Talk about some fucked-up-ness!!! OMG!!!! 😱😳 We seriously love this show!

DH is eating bologna sandwiches with “cheese” on “bread”. My mom, bless her, was the worst cook ever. I am serious. Just ask my DH or my sister. So one of our fav meals growing up was bologna and American cheese, on white bread, with mustard. My late sister would also crumble up potato chips and sprinkle those on her sandwich! It was hard to screw this meal up, even for my mom.

OMG people! My house is done!!!! All that's left is getting someone out to hook up all the lights (although they were kind enough to do the high peak lights for us even though they aren't supposed to). They stayed late and loaded all the scaffolding and ladders up and the 4 trailers that were in my yard are now gone. Also, happy with the hole in the deck. Doesn't bother me a bit.

I'm sitting out on the deck, just finished dinner. I steamed and shredded a huge BSCB, added onion/garlic/jalapeno to the pan and tossed in a box of mini pierogis and a bunch of butter. there's like 2 more meals leftover, and I'm stuffed. oh! and wait - I heard back from the ortho via telehealth. the CT scan showed no breaks or fractures. so I'm now 4w in to a 6-8w period of rest/ice/elevate and wait it out.

YAY MPL. Your new deck is nice, I hope you enjoy using it. It looks like they cut the hole for the downspout perfectly, great work.

So what the counselor was getting to with the intellectual equivalent of a fifth grader thing, was about expectations and a person’s capacity to meet those expectations. She likes talking about “renegotiating the contract” when circumstances or a situation changes. For example, on my end, when I was missing so much work due to my stomach issues, Mister and should have talked about what that meant for us, as far as me not being able to do certain things at the same level I had been. On his side, when he got all stressed out trying to take care of his parents and all of the emotions he was dealing with because of that and then them dying, he did not have the same capacity to operate IRT to our relationship, that he’d had before. I don’t really feel like there was a conversation we should’ve had about about him not showing up in our relationship like he had been before all of that, because my common sense told me why it was happening and I understood. I did eventually initiate conversations about him shutting me out to the degree that he did and him being mean to me after that started. That part was not understandable or acceptable to me. I already understood all of that on my own, about being realistic about a person’s capacity, whether it’s just who they are or because something has happened to change their capacity for certain things. I’m just using those 2 examples because I’ve already talked about those 2 situations here. He does have new skills he needs to learn or relearn, like geenamercile figured, so that was part of it too, but not the biggest part of what I have issues with, expect for the part where it relates to him and his daughters. I hope that clears things up some.

I'm over today. I think I'll have a cocktail and try to take a nap. I hope things improve soon. I don't like this. What did I miss? Are you ok?

Closed funeral for immediate family is fairly common not necessarily suicide. Family maybe just doesn’t want to deal with a lot of people Yes. I'm not doing that when my parents go. I think. But you never know. My dad's family is mostly gone, except for my cousins. And mom's family is a long story. I'm sure I will do my duty, but it would kill me every night.

Seeing mpl’s new deck makes me even more excited that the work on our deck is still scheduled to start Monday. I confirmed that with Mister (again) today. I suggested this evening that we (he) makes sure that everything that needs to go in the garbage goes out tonight, and he take both bins to the curb for pickup in the morning. He asked why. I will skip over the thoughts that ran through my head. I just said, because we might end up with a lot of trash from them working on the deck. He said, oh, okay. Imma just stop there. I’ve been asking him when should we start moving stuff off the deck. He says idk. In my mind, we could’ve already started moving some stuff to the ground, instead of leaving it all to be done at one time, at the last minute. Which I suspect is going to cause a lot of bitching from him and I’m not gonna want to hear it. Because we could’ve been doing it over a few days, but I’m not wrestling with moving grills and furniture by myself to get it started. As far as I’m concerned, we could have everything off the deck by Sunday, except my plants, and move them Sunday when I get home from work. I am not sure exactly where to even put them, and nervous about putting them on the ground anyway, which is why I’m good with them not being moved until the last minute. That is one of the ways that we are very different. I try to plan ahead to prepare for things I know are coming, and I prefer to do things at my convenience, vs scrambling at the last minute to make things happen that I already know need to happen, and he is the total opposite in that regard. So I see some potential kerfuffles in our immediate future, but because I have made suggestions to try to avoid certain things regarding this project, it’s on him if doing things his way causes him aggravation and frustration. If it comes to that, hopefully I can stay in my zen and smile serenely while I let him figure it out, and refrain from saying “I TOLD YOU”.
