Di, Funny thing...you mentioned how midafternoon is tough...
A couple of days ago I posted on my thread that it seems like mid-afternoon is when I'm at my low point of the day emotionally. A few others then commented that they shared the same issue.
I think you're right: that it's due to the anticipation and uncertainty. The evening is when families are usually together. But when you're dealing with an MLC spouse, the evenings can be turned into a stressful time instead of together time.
I've found that if I can keep myself really busy, or go for a little walk, it helps...not totally, but it helps.
Hang in there...
