Thank you for the tip Job. When I checked I realized the cables that pull the door up and down are shot. So new garage door it is. My laptop's motherboard is fried and I need new one of those too. Ugh. When it rains, it pours.
Sister-in-law arrived safely yesterday. We had dinner together, without H as he was working.
H and I had a brief exchange about the sleeping arrangements. I offered sister-in-law my room (the guest room) and I slept on the couch (which I actually don't mind). H was angry because he wanted sister-in-law to sleep in the master bedroom and H would sleep on the couch. I didn't want this because I get up at 4:45 in the morning and me coming and going from the master bath would be disruptive to sister-in-law. H offered me the master bedroom and he would sleep on the couch, but I am not sleeping on that bed.
He hates sleeping on the couch as it hurts his back. He wants to be a martyr and show sister-in-law what a great guy he is for sacrificing himself. No way am I gonna participate in that show.
When he brought it up he was seething and as usual, brought it up as I was walking out of the room. He hasn't moved from his place in the tunnel one bit.
He has also been father of the year. Doting on S and lavishing attention on him. It makes me sick to see this. It's so artificial.
Through it all I am maintaining my equilibrium and not reacting. It's business as usual.
There is a part of me that more and more says, hey OW, you want him? You can have him.
