3. as Yail suggests, check in here or in a personal diary to keep a clearer log of how often and when this happens
4. GAL, detach, give acts of service, count the good things

Merry Christmas everyone. I will check back in the New Year. I wish you all good things in your home lives.

Excellent plan!
