The Art of Invisibility

Hey Snodderly and Linda!! Thanks for stopping by

Laundry detergent disappearance solved, but still a mystery... to me.

H "put them away" in a cupboard I have never kept them in.
I keep them on the counter top of the laundry room but apparently they are supposed to be in the cupboard.
"So this way you can fold laundry on the counter top."
I fold laundry on our bed.
"But you're supposed to fold laundry in the laundry room."

Oh ha ha ha. Do I see the makings of a power struggle here?
H doesn't do laundry, but I don't do yardwork or fix cars.

Shall I start telling him where he should keep his tools?

I've kept everything down now for about 36 hours. I was alternating apple juice with ginger ale - even went to the health food store and got "real" gingered ale. I think I felt better yesterday than today.

Made it to the track meet (in the pouring rain!! At least it wasn't cold). S16 qualified for state in the 4X400. He's quite excited

I'm glad you did not fall for that "if you want me to come home" line.

When he texted me that, I refused to ASK him to come home. The casino is only 2 hours from home, he knew how sick I was, why would I have to ask? After the 2nd pass-out though, I was getting worried about the kids finding me unresponsive
so I texted "I'm starting to really wish you were here."
He never addressed that "wish" and didn't come home either. So I think he feels he's covered his tail by "offering" to come home.

When my H's Russian Tramp was over here in March for her conjugal visit, I developed a rapid heart rhythm (over 200!!) and had to have a cardiac ablation. My sons told their dad that I was in the hospital, and I got that same line, if you want me to come home, just let me know. I said yes, I need you, please come home. He told me he and the Tramp were on the Staten Island ferry, but he'd be home by 5 pm. He showed up three days later.

Oh goodness Linda, I am sorry. That was awful treatment.
When they do these type of far out things though, I do think it goes to show how far off kilter they really are. They behave to us in a way people wouldn't even behave to acquaintances... its clearly irrational.

I sometimes wonder if the scope of Mental Illness will ever cover this stuff...

Anyway. Gotta get off my duff and get some housework done. (I'm debating about where I should keep the laundry detergent lol)
I have a shift at wonderfuljob today, and an all day shift at fastfoodland tomorrow.

Hoping for a piece of peace to all.
