I'm here taking a little "hydration break" as I am trying to plant some flowers in the yard and this has already turned into way more work than I wanted to do today. It is only 23°/74° but I am very fat and already don't do up and down well at all (or down on my bad knees).

I was trying to plant from a chair but the front feet keep digging into the grass so that was not working for me at all. I tried putting the throw-a-way pots on the front two legs of the chair.... but I crashed right through them.

I hereby declare this day to be "International Are We Forgetting Something Day" as I just know fb has completely forgotten our anniversary. he picked a huge fight the other night and is doing the pretending it didn't happen thing. I wonder if the flowers in the yard will jar him. I am hoping to bake a from scratch rhubarb cake too but I might run out of energy.... If I do, there is always tomorrow as he invited his Mum for Sunday dinner.

I should pull out some pork chops or something for dinner tonight I guess. He brought home a bucket of chicken last night so I am thinking his surprising me with dinner out is probably out of reach. Besides we have a van to support now and according to yesterdays mail it seems they UNDERQUOTED his insurance by about $50/MO. I am livid, he is like what can you do.

I am still trying to figure out what he is going to GIVE UP to afford this van.... Between the bucket of chicken, going out for ice cream and stopping for strawberries honey and butter tarts he blew $40 bucks yesterday on basically nothing. Chicken is nothing when I still have to make him 2 double cheeseburgers because now "chicken does not fill him up".
