it’s been a bit stressful over here for the last 2 months. Prince Charming had a few good months, was working with a therapist and was sober , kind, responsible, and looking ahead to a more serene “normal “life. But the last two months he’s back at it. We sold our home in August and are waiting for a closing date Waiting...waiting..... waiting..... each delay is a torture. Prince Charming does not deal well when things don’t go his way.... he’s fallen off a ladder during a drunken tantrum, calls and screams at the realtor, and lawyer ( well the lawyer does suck I have to admit) and has fuzzy recall of important phone calls. I’m trying to remain zen, but I am also stressed and anxious about the move, my job is intense, and he drives me insane. But as most of you can relate.... all this is business as usual and we muddle through somehow.
his two tasks for today : call the attorney with 2 questions I wrote down for him, and go to a doctors visit. This man is afraid of doctors and takes tranquilizers before each visit, leaving him completey baffled about what went on during the visit. Also business as usual. Today he also missed two important phone calls from the lawyer.so that waits for tomorrow. But here’s my favorite part of the day
i had a short meeting after work getting me home about one and a half hours late. I drive up the driveway and notice his car lights are on, I get out of the car and realize his car is running! Then I look in the window and he is passed out in the drivers seat! WTF??? On the floor next to him are some take salads and I’m starving. I had to debate with myself if I should just let him sleep it off in the car leaving it running, but I wanted that salad. As fate would have it... I woke him up trying to get the food. . I managed to be nice for about an hour but his wasted mental state got under my skin so I was bitchy and made him go to bed so I wouldn’t have to look at him passing out and then pretending he was not.
how does a person NOT REALIZE that falling asleep in your car while it is running in the driveway is not normal? how did you manage to drive to the pizza place for the food and engage in a transaction? Why are you surprised that I’m annoyed.?
so I binged watched the dog whisperer, which I found calming. And am going up to bed.
sorry to say that since we are packed and ready to move out of this house any day now..... the extra bedroom is not set up and I will be forced to sleep with Prince Charming who will keep me up all night because he snores horribly when wasted. Oh well why will tomorrow bring?
love and light to us all
