I told Ashley about the plunger and she laughed so hard. She is a "decorator" like me. She just nodded the "boys" nod. She "gets it".
I have to agree on the people with the blinders on. If I had stayed on that course with my H, I'd have shot myself by now. If I was living with him - it would be the most unhappy place on the planet. Cuz that's where he is still at 7 years later. That is NOT where I want to spend my life.
And encouraging each other to stick it out in the worst conditions is NOT what friends do. But we also know when to back off and that's what we've all done. Let them live it I guess. We tried.
Have a great day is S. Cal. I mean - who wouldn't have a great day in S. Cal????
