I’ve been very sick the last couple of weeks. Between that, the issues with the house and the fact we officially hit the 18 month mark since J and I have seen each other, I’ve been feeling pretty morose. J and I have argued a lot and I’ve been touchy with everybody else. I have a lot of issues surrounding his going back to the USA that I don’t know will ever be resolved completely, but enough of that ...

Today is a good day and I feel a lot more upbeat than I have in weeks.

Kinda looks like we might have a buyer for the house. My parents are looking at taking it off our hands at a reduced price and finishing the renovations themselves (easier when the place is empty). They’ll then put it on the market, take out their expenses and giving us the difference of the final sale price. Hopefully they can pull it off and we might be able to leave in as little as six or seven weeks.

Fingers crossed!

So my husband broke the cardinal rule.

He informed me that I was only angry at him because I was PMSing. His calendar said so.

First of all, is it scary that even though I haven’t seen him in 15 months, he still knows my menstrual cycle better than I do?

Second of all, what makes him so damn sure that it’s PMS and that he’s not just an ass? I have plenty enough on my plate with fixing up this house and dealing with the kids, while he sits there constantly offering his bright ideas and criticisms. I have every right to be mad at him, PMS not withstanding!

So tonight, I threatened to send him the kids the second their passports arrived back from the Consulate. He told me he thought that was a good idea.

Apparently, he’s in crawl mode.

I haven’t seen my husband in almost a year, and I’m a bit down in the dumps. It’s worse today, because it’s our 9th wedding anniversary.

J decided to do something to make me feel better. He ordered me a beautiful paua shell bracelet so I’d have a piece of kiwiana to bring to the US.

And apparently the courier has lost it.
