of speech.

parking lot because it means you are capable
of walking.

LB has checked out for a little R&R, courtesy of yours truly. I had MGF's blessing on this one, I was told I could wipe her out if she started in on any bad talk, at least until Thursday afternoon when we have the next appointment.
So, it's just me and the Little One right now. We're hanging, having a cup of coffee and a doughnut and chilling the rest of the workday away. And when we get home I am supposed to take us right to bed to catch up on sleep. Oops, the coffee isn't going to help with that. I didn't think it through. Well, whatever, worst case Little One gets to stay up and color for a while. :)
Umm, so the extra appointment? I'll leave it to LB to tell the details, but basically it boiled down to she's gotta face up to a few things, like getting the f*ck out of this marriage. Whatever reason she gives. And the whole being gay thing. I really wish she'd stop fighting me on this one, she knows I'm right, and we could both be a lot happier if she would just own it.
