Continuing DBing...

She's on her way home from the airport now. We spoke when she left the airport for about 10 minutes and she's chipper and talkative. She's planning a trip to Grenada with me and her daughter & fiancé. Wants us to get a beachfront room.

So maybe the call to OM was an innocuous call, hey how you doing I'm fine, working on my marriage, etc.

So when she gets home I'll let her do most of the talking to take the temperature. It's going to be enough that I'm sleeping at home again for 5 nights out of 7. I'll see how she deals with that. I'll explain that I cannot take the stress of not sleeping at home.

She'll say it's only been 2 months, she did it for a year. I could come back that I did it to help her with her burn out and to get a break from the home. She did it to betray me. But I won't go there. I'll just be loving: it must have been so hard on you, I can see what you went through...

The stressors at the home were feeling like a fish out of water. But also when one of our dear residents fell and broke her hip last Monday night while I was on duty was hard on me. A very stressful week of surgery and convalescence. She'll be away for a couple more weeks until she heals.

W asked how my week was and I said stressful. She immediately was concerned and asked why. I told her we'll talk about it when she gets home.

1. Buying another business & moving it into my office
2. Resident with broken hip
3. Cat got very sick but is now all better
4. Spotted the phone call to OM (I won't share that one though)
5. Moving back home and fearing her wrath (may not need to bring that one up either)
6. Snow storm and weather related stresses.
7. No knowing where she is, who she's with or when she's coming home.

I just need to listen, be the rock, not argue, quiet the little boy, and hold on to my NUTs.
