I managed to leave Scott's door open for several hours today.  It still is.  I will close it before bed.  It is 9 mos. today since he died.  It has been a hard day but I have had harder.  I did manage to sort through some papers.  Not all, but some.  Tomorrow I have my EMDR and have to go see about my car ins.  I dread EMDR.  It is always so hard.  Compassionate Friends is tomorrow night too but I just am unsure if I will go.  Counseling and CF may prove to be too much emotion for me.  Craig hurt my feelings today.  Stupid really.  He woke me up to go to work this a.m.  I thanked him because on a regular day that is good.  But, when I reminded him I was on Spring Break he acted like he had never heard it before.  I told him my friends knew more about me than he does and I don't even wash their underwear.  It is true. I have friends I used to work with, calling & wanting me to go to lunch this week.  And, all of you who remember. And, others.  It isn't just about Spring Break....he forgets a lot or just doesn't pay attention.  After 24 yrs. of marriage you would think he would get it.  On the other hand, after 24 yrs. of marriage, you would think I would just get that he will never get it.  Just a bad day for it, I think.  Adam has been pissy all evening.  Don't know what is up with him.  Maybe the same as me.  It is still hard for Adam to talk about his brother's death.  Blah, blah, blah.  I need some cheese with this whine!  It is sort of storming here, now.  It is supposed to do it again tomorrow.  Nothing severe so far.  I think the grey doesn't help my mood either. Does anybody understand this DTV stuff?  I don't have cable so I have an antenna.  My atenna was pretty much trashed in the last ice storm.  Do I need a new antenna if I get the converter?  It is my understanding I do but maybe one of you know more about it.  My TV is only a couple of years old so I really don't want to buy a new TV.  HELP!!!!  Wishing all of us a little or a lot of sunshine in our lives!

I\'m tv stupid, but maybe you could call a store that sells them, and ask a pro for assistance - if no one knows here. Sorry about your blah day - I\'m having a bad time too. Men seem to forget a lot - these two here know I\'m sick & on antibiotics but they don\'t give it a 2nd thought - dinner - where\'s our dinner........Ugh. Maybe your husband did just forget - or maybe he just wanted to say goodbye to you before he left.
They don\'t think like we do - Josh woke me up at 6 a.m. to tell me he needs deodorant & shampoo - Was I suppose to go right out in my jammas and get it? Ugh....they just don\'t think - Hope tomorrow is a better day for you - do something for you - and don\'t concern yourself with things you think you should do.......(Does that make sense?)
Have a good night & a better tomorrow - love you,

My husband tells me the same thing over & over.
Five minutes later, he tells it to me again. I look at him & say, \"You just told me that. There only two of us here, who else do you think you just told that to five minutes ago?\" Of course, he gets mad and tells me I have no patience. Whew...MEN!!!!!

My hubby does that selective memory thing all the time. It has been worse since loosing Heather, and that much I understand, but when he asks me the same thing over and over, or says I never told him something that I clearly have....... or even worse he does not tell me something, and the swears he did !! Oh....... don\'t even get me started.
Wishing you some sunshine and peace today !
Many hugs with love,
Cyndi - Heathers Mom
