Good Afternoon,

Never got to the board this morning. It's just been a bad day around here. It started off fine. I had a great run on the treadmill and was feeling upbeat and ready to get myself back on track and then came one of DH's outbursts. This time over measuring cups being left on the kitchen counter. Apparently it was preventing him from cooking breakfast. He ended up breaking a spatula, sent DD into an anxiety attack and well I don't have to say anymore. He know says that he's going to start back on medication but he wants to talk to our friend who is a pharmacist about different types of medication and he's going to do it for me. He called and spoke to his wife and he wasn't home but she called to let him know that he had come home and to stop by. Well, he apparently doesn't have time because he has things to do but that doesn't stop him from sitting and watching the hockey game. And, thank you for thinking that you should be doing this for me but you should be thinking that you have a problem and you should be doing it for yourself. But the bottom line is he doesn't think he has a problem. Breaking spatulas and screaming that he has a right to be angry I guess is supposed to be a healthy way to handle things. Maybe for a 2 year old. He's already to gather his information and according to him be armed for what the doctor has to say. That's helpful (sarcasm inserted). The bottom line is he doesn't like doctors doesn't like medication and if he's not going to do this for himself and believe in it it's a waste of time. DS even spoke to him about the medication that he's been on and how's it helped him. Therapy came up and that got me the usual nowhere. He's not talking to a "stranger". I brought up the fact that an outsider can see things and add perspective, but that certainly didn't get me anywhere. DH is completely oblivious to the change in him. All week I've been thinking that things are been rather mellow around here and wasn't sure what I was going to discuss at therapy this week-well I guess that's changed.

Anyway, that was part of my morning. I ended up in tears for at least part of it. We did have to take Otto up to the vet for a much needed bath. I then headed to Costco. I really didn't need much there but just needed to get out of the house for awhile. I had stopped in Borders looking for a book that I wanted. But even with my coupon it was more than I wanted to spend. I decided to go to the mall next door and look for a pair of shoes for next weekend. Found a cute pair of patent leather/leather heels in the Nine West outlet that were on sale for $24.99 and then a President's Day sale on top of that which brought them down to 18. I also found a red cami to wear under my dress for $5.00. Not bad. Saw some cute things for spring but really wasn't in the mood to shop and really don't have money to spend right now. Another time.

Hope to get Otto out for a walk in a little while and making a shrimp stir fry for dinner.

I guess that's about it from me. Hope everyone not feeling well will be feeling better soon.

Good afternoon. Tim and I just got back from our walk on the beach and a quick trip to the store. It's a gorgeous day here, 74,

Big hugs to you, Susan! I know how upsetting a person wtih emotional problems can be. All of this denial is so typical of someone with the type of problem it sounds like he has. Getting over that is 50% of the battle. Let's hope someone can help him acknowledge that he has a problem that can be treated, but he has to help himself. I've learned you can't do it for someone else no matter how much you love them or how hard you try.
