It’s Linda’s 51st birthday today, and on her birthday we bombed and went to the store. Tom forgot to get bombs at the supermarket yesterday. I couldn’t believe he forgot those of all things! So he got up super early and got them. We left a little after 5:00 and headed with the animals to the grocery store in Sun Lakes. I got a book which I’m gonna totally enjoy till I can get to a bookstore again, and some foods I don’t normally get. Sugar peas, Chinese egg drop soup, and other foods. All good stuff. No junk. I got a sugarless candy bar and my coffee at Circle K, though.

Ever since we’ve been back I’ve been washing dishes, cleaning the kitchen, doing laundry, and taking care of the animals.

Tom, for no apparent reason, is tired and achy. He even went to bed at around 9:00 and is still asleep. How appropriate. I mean, of course he’s achy and tired now. It’s the weekend and he has outside cleanup work he doesn’t want to do. He just loves for things to be trashed and he just has to impress the neighbors and “fit in.” Like the neighbors even give a shit? I still love my husband and I always will, but man do I get sick of the lies, contradictions, procrastination, aches, pains and tiredness! Like an old man. Just like an old man.
