Weekend sign off

I am back. Nothing new to report. MIL is still having trouble "resting". She is agitated and anxious as she worries about what will be with FIL and the rest of us. Sad thing to fret about. She has no control over it and can do nothing to make any changes or effect what she would like to see, yet she is spending her dying days, which is what they are, fretting over things she cannot nor could not control.

In fact, she did not control what she could control. The Wife learned this from her. It is better to waste time and worry about things you cannot control and not take ownership and control the things you can control. It is ass-backward as nothing gets done and all you end up with is a feeling of helplessness. There is a psychology experiment in there somewhere. Is there any way I could get the Outlaws, either one at a time or en masse, in a Skinner Box? That I would love to see/observe. It would be good for a giggle. The point would be lost on them, though.

I will go have dinner at the condo with FIL and family. It is going to be creepy being there without MIL and with FIL. I am actually going to miss her incessant chatter about nothing. As annoying as it was, and is, I am seeing it is better than the alternative.....the future without her in our lives. Sad, sad, sad. That is all there is to it.

I am going to have a drink when I walk in that door. That I can tell you. I can only handle FIL without MIL around that way. Then again, I will have to show him I am not his bitch yet again. My brother in law is obviously his bitch and will be until the end. Not my duty and I have not got that strong affinity towards him to do that. Either I am bad or principled, or both.

With that, I say have a nifty weekend one and all. Ciao!
