My house has been spared the ravages of the monsoon season thus far. I've had a little rain and that brings the smell of the creosote bushes to life -- one of my favorite AZ things of all time. My parents neighborhood, though, off of I17 got blasted last weekend...trees down everywhere. The head of their HOA is an Elvis impersonator - so there was Elvis...walking around all of this damage taking notes. What is it about Elvis impersonators that renders them unable to leave work at the office? But I digress.....
I am hoping to arrive at the point where you are with conflict. In fact, I know I am damn near there -- I think I just get very anxious because I have bad memories of her reactions (long and short term) to me bringing up things that bothered me. Still, we are making solid progress.
