Prez Day--Last nights dinner turned into a family feud. The ex's new man friend was asked questions about who he was--and he got defensive or it seems. People were trying to find out more about him--since he was so new to everyone.

I was in a funk--which isn't helped by me dealing with the assembly of a high chair. The fancy seating assembly has four or more functions--all of which impact the assembly process.

Dinner was OK--the new man friend cooked the entire meal. The whole event (and week long activities) were not well planned--MD's 99th birthday celebration, visiting relatives, daughter about to deliver her 2nd child, new man friend introduction, having me being there, kids, daughter having to deliver a paper for a class she's taking, and all else. From my perspective, the focus should be on the new birth that's about to happen--that all of the chaos, drama, event-stuffing, and so on should be minimized. But it was not--and that's what we got!

Like I said, I was in a funk--and am still so as I experience the reverbs of all that happened since last week. I'm trying to get my laundry done today--and getting some rest as people leave and things quiet down. Oh, yes! SD was taken home a day earlier than he expected--and he was upset that he was asked to leave a day sooner. Just more of the planning problems that were occasioned by what was (is) taking place--as things unwind, get cleared, and return to a regular mode.

I'll be pleased when that occurs--non perturbation is for me!
