In a brief update, I have learned (again) that there is always something happening in one's life that one could do without. I am doing better with my brother and the whole wife's friend's wedding thing, but it's only a very general sort of better. Right now she's moaning on FB about how much plane tickets are and how she hopes so very much that they go down in price before August. On one hand, I want her to be able to go to a loved one's wedding. On the other hand, that sort of post about someone who isn't even family makes the resentful side of me flare up again. I was able to talk to everyone but him today - still not sure if that was a good thing or bad thing.
Everything else is going well, though, which I am grateful for. Ray and I have a great relationship that has only steadied and deepened since we got married. That's the bright point in my life right now! There are some issues with the kids, but there's nothing we can do about it for now and I don't feel like talking about it so I am able to push it to the side for now.
We had a fantastic barbeque tonight - brats, steak, hot dogs, and oven roasted potatoes. Mmmm.
