time off for period behavior

12-7-11


I left work early. I just had to get out of here. I was pretty sure I would have bitten someone’s head off. I am better this morning. Thank goodness!

The tree is up and decorated. The boys put on the ornaments, which was a lot of fun. I am enjoying seeing all the random ones that we are starting to accumulate as a family. It makes our way too sterile looking tree come alive with family.

I am sleepy since I stayed up past my bedtime. It was worth it. I got to watch Love Actually. That flick is seriously still good after having seen it 100,000 times. It is a great kickoff to the holidays, especially being able to watch it under the glow of the Christmas tree.

Is it wrong to wonder if I will ever get the inheritance I was told there was from Virginia? She died over a year ago, and no offense, lady, but I could use the cash for Christmas.

Doug was in my dream a couple nights ago. I have this belief that the dead sometimes talks to me in dreams. Perhaps it is silly, but it is what it is. He didn’t talk to me direct. In fact, he was talking to Elizabeth. He showed her lots of pictures, all of me and our dad and the boys. Pictures I had never seen before. He was wearing odd clothes and he kept telling Elizabeth how he didn’t understand how it all happened. He showed her a picture of himself smiling and he said that he was sure he felt like that but that now he is gone. He was so very confused, which made me sad. I couldn’t talk to him. It was as if I was simply a ghost there.

Bobby has pretty much been able to stay dry. I got him up a smidge later this morning so that I can push back his pee time even more. I am wondering if the next move will be some kind of watch alarm that gets him up at a certain time so he does it on his own. We shall see. Dax on the other hand is nowhere near any kind of breakthrough. He pees at all times, and lots and lots, despite what appears to be no liquids going in, and an empty bladder going to bed. I am starting to wonder if he has a couple of bladders.

Ok, I think I am going to do some work today.
