Lasagna is in the oven. Dh put a fire on. He is watching the pro bowl. I saw a bit. It's different. I also moved the truck and the car so they are both closer to the house. It's been snowing for at least an hour. I've already done the nightly lock up, so I don't have to go outside any more tonight. Both vehicles are locked and so is the garage. All the cats were out together earlier and they all ran back into the house when I opened the door.
I've washed the bedsheets and dh's blanket. I will make the bed after supper. It's nice to smell something cooking and knowing I didn't have to put any effort into the job. I love to cook but a break is nice.

I heard from Harriet on Friday when she asked me to put up monthly posts. I think this time around has hit her hard. I went down and unlocked January Health and Fitness - that was all that I was aware that I changed so I'm not sure why the current post is so far down.
The river was beautiful today. Sunny, warm (except a couple of periods with a breeze), and good company. Got to catch up with V.
Dh did a load of laundry that's in the dryer now.

Dealing with anger from your spouse is always a rough path to navigate. Without a doubt, seek help if the anger turns abusive. If the spouse has a diagnosis of mental problems, then anger is a part of that disease, and the doctor can help with meds. If the spouse refuses to take meds, then it raises another level of concern. If the spouse doesn't have a mental diagnosis (dementia, etc) but they have a different opinion, then that happens in every marriage.
What did I do today? Lots of cooking and talking. Three teens were here most of the day. GF has been here the last 7 hours. DD13 had a consequence from her lack of action. Consequence = Her laptop is barred from her bedroom. DH has been confused much of the day and not aware of time. I stopped him from leaving in his pickup out of concern for his safety.
Progress has been made on the design of raised bed #7. I temporarily put things in place to see if I liked the design. I will give it a couple days of working with it and then make my final decision.

good night all. thank you all!
d lady I am sorry your dh is confused again today. That's the hard part of it - the confusion after time where things were running (mostly) smooth is very hard. it doesn't make a whole lot of sense to why it happens. praying tomorrow is a clear day for your dh!
when do you start your garden - we can't until middle of April for cold crops
dd older feels that I have to nip it in the bud otherwise he will get worse. she feels He has been getting away with taking more and more.
today after he apologized to mom then he has been normal--thoughtful.. He was able to think again and readjust.
I have been keeping track and I am seeing that his trac is more clogged than clear- I can hear it and I am wondering if there is a correlation with his upset moments. He sees that dr. on the 12th - I will go with him and see the dr. He gets a new trac on that day. I want to see how badly clogged it is and ask his dr if there could be a link - a lack of oxygen.
