If you search-engine "Ape Mid Life Crisis" you should find the relevant articles. I still don't understand how this phenomena doesn't receive more attention; more than bad jokes and winks.
Thanksgiving went ok. H chose that morning to put down linoleum in our bathroom. Its needed a floor for 3 years. We've had the supplies for 3 years. Why Thanksgiving morning? I had to ask him. He didn't know. He spent most of the day playing online poker and watching football. Didn't join me and all 4 kids in watching the parade because "It's not his thing." Then he lamented that he had no company to watch the football games. The mountain must always come to Mohammed. Now he's off to the casinos, not sure when he'll be back. Prob by 1 on Sunday because he wouldn't want to miss football. (Never mind missing his family... I am beginning to see a pattern.)
Still no progress on the job front. I'm thinking of applying for FAFSA after the 1st of Jan, maybe be able to work towards a degree of some sort. Any job I qualify for right now will be just about minimum wage and I don't think I can support myself on that. And I need to be ready to support myself. If anyone has any experience with going back to school I'd appreciate the input.
Weather's turned nasty. I have to work concessions with S16 tonight. Sigh. "Not my thing" as H would say. And he's the one who more or less volunteered me for this duty.
Ah well. Maybe I'll work with someone who knows of a job opening! (Hey, it could happen.)

You teach people how to treat you by what you allow. What you stop. And what you reinforce. ~~~~~~~ A lack of boundaries invites a lack of respect.
