NTE,

"I will just need to be more creative in how I order it as the transaction shows on our computer as we use Amazon fairly routinely."

I see. I apologise for the 2x4! Maybe get your local bookshop to order it for you? Get a friend to order it for you? But do it.

Does your wife know you come on this site?

So you're in the construction business? The "new" me finds the whole industry archetypally masculine and fascinating. That is very cool.

"It really isn't that the situation is that untenable, it is my personality to feel responsible for projects that are mine as if it were my business or my money. It makes it hard to compartmentalize and walk away at the end of the day."

I understand. That part of your personality is actually a fantastic tool that can drive you to all kinds of things. But it is just a tool. You have to know when to put it down, otherwise it carries on cutting through all the rest of your life?

You are already good enough. You just don't know it yet.

S&A
