I love those Gorillas!! It's sickening what happens to them, isn't it??
How's the book coming along? I actually just picked it up again to read for the 3 or 4th time.
Books like that keep my life in perspective. I am having some very anxious moments--I sure wish I had taken a class or two!!
Yesterday was "Meltdown Monday" again. Soooo typical--H comes home on Sunday exhausted from pretending to be the "nice, perfect guy" in front of his parents. Lays around ALL DAY watching 10 hours of shows. I made a lamb roast dinner (we raise sheep--not that big a deal) and by Monday morning, he is ready to have his "fit".
So he asks me to sit down and go over money things--I say "not until you get everything up to date--since you took over you haven't kept up with anything". There are checks and deposits he hasn't noted, etc.
So he goes through the checkbook and asks me about a check I wrote for $106,000. Yes, he says "You wrote a check for one hundred 6 thouusand dollars??"
I'm like, huh??! What are you TALKING about?? He tells me to come and look at this check.
Ok, it was for like a thousand and he has completely lost his mind looking at a few little marks afterwards and making them zeros.
Anyway, it's all designed to have a fight and I tell him he is insane. So of course he goes off on me and I grab my shoes and the dogs and go out for a walk. I hear cursing and swearing as I leave.
One of the counselors I had over the last 10 months or so told me to laugh in his face when he makes these outlandish remarks. I don't know why I never do--I don't see the humor until much later!! Then I'm dying laughing as I tell my girlfriends what he has done!
So then as typical he isn't too bad the rest of the day.
I am so greatful for the encouragement and virtual hugs up there. My heart just leaps when I see those little ((()))marks.lol.
