Yesterday we took W's SUV to an auto shop. After we dropped it off I asked W if she wanted to be dropped off at home, she decided to go with to return a part we didn't need. When we got home I made dinner for us and SND20. Then W went to bed early as she had a headache. I used the free time I had the last two days to work on unpacking my picture framing supplies left over from my store.

W has been gone all day which is unusual she usually sleeps most of the weekends. SND20 is very upset with her mom, she can't handle being left out of whatever her mom is doing. She calls her mom and wants to know why she couldn't go with her, her mom hangs up on her after making a lame excuse. SND20 then goes to her room and cries. W told me she was going to get her new wedding ring cleaned and checked and have lunch with a gf then come home to watch football.
W informed me I would have to help her pay the rent this month because she doesn't have enough money. It has always taken both of our incomes to pay the bills so even though she wants a D, I planned on helping. I just said no problem I will help. I know that most men support their families with the majority of the income, but in our situation it worked best for me to care for our special needs daughter, because of W's mental health issue. I think she considers me a dead beat, but I supplied over 50 % of the income for the last two years. The last two months I have only supplied 1/3 of the income. I'm keeping my head up though, I will supplement our income by selling some art work and frames. My income will increase because I have some new wells that will come on line in March or April.

Worked hard for the last two days in the garage on getting stuff ready to do picture framing to supplement my royalty income. I'm a little sore from lifting boxes a bending but my mind is doing much better.
