of chicken cutlets and strings

[sistawendy]

OK, either major bra manufacturers or Fred Meyer don't think 38A is a size you can make money from. So, 36A. Le sigh. Nibs taught me a new term: "chicken cutlets".

Speaking of Nibs, I rented season 1, disc 1 of The L Word recently because, among other reasons, I've never seen any of it. Nibs asked, "You're not going to turn into a big lesbian on me, are you?" We'll see, Nibs. We'll see.

Also speaking of Nibs, she's asked me to start staying over at the Abbey two nights a week instead of the previous one. Yes, the dog does get everyone up early, but 1) she wanted me out of the house as much as I did, 2) sooner or later we'll have to split up completely, and 3) I just don't wanna. Says she, she doesn't get any sleep at night because of her meds, and a giant, rambunctious puppy doesn't help. I'm sure both of those are true. The thing is, her first instinct is still to call me: the other day she asked me to do her Costco run because she can't lift a flat of bottled water. I think we'll be talking about this in couples counselling.

Maybe I am the dissenter here, but I think that you and Nibs may be getting divorced, but are still going to be friends and co-parents. So if she asks for you to do something, ask is it something you would do for a close friend? If so, it is reasonable to do. She has a lot of physical challenges to cope with that make her life extra hard. I have similar issues so I do have to ask people for help even though I hate hate hate it.

I'm trying to think of how many close friends at whose houses I would spend two nights a week and do chores the following morning. Occasionally, yes, but not every week for the next five years, which is what she's asking.

Thinkin' more about the costco run rather than overnights... esp since your kid is likely to be eating a lot of what's to be picked up at the 'co. Just sayin' -- but my advice is worth what you pay for it.
