I'm Bewildered and A Bit Pissed Off

I bought a beautiful piece of meat for Sunday's dinner yesterday morning, but DH is absolutely furious at me - I spent too much money, etc, etc, blah, blah, blah (it was my money, not the household funds). He insisted I freeze it until Easter weekend, so fine. I put it in the freezer for a week. Now he gets to buy whatever meat he wants for tomorrow's dinner. I know what veggies I'll be making, and yes, apparently I'm once again destroying his Sunday joy. How? Beats me. I'm six seconds away from saying "Fuck it all, I'm getting a divorce" and after 42 years of marriage, I really don't want to have to move to that level of hatred and desperation. But he can be such a turd and I'm getting really tired of his moods. 




I have been looking at townhomes in my area that are up 
for sale. If I did get a divorce, I know I couldn't keep up 
this house and would have to find a different place to 
live. Which might be a lot of fun. I've always loved looking 
at new homes, so I'm trolling the "For Sale" on-line 
listings. This one is nice.  



I had a lovely text conversation with one of my nephews yesterday, though. It brightened my whole day, just chatting back and forth, catching up a little on FaceBook Messenger. I have five nephews and three nieces. David is the next-to-oldest of my nephews and he's one of my favorites, a fabulous young man. It was such a nice surprise to chat with him for a bit. 




It's not perfect, but it's a huge sight better than 
it had been. My oven is old - probably original 
with the house which places it at almost 60 
years old. Once upon a time it had a self-
clean feature, but that's long gone. It was pretty 
easy to get off the grime. Now to keep it 
looking nice and clean. 



I also cleaned my oven yesterday. It desperately needed it. I had purchased the oven cleaner a couple of months ago but hadn't had the time/energy to do anything about it. It was perched in the back of my mind, though, so I grabbed the opportunity yesterday and got to work. Cleaning ovens is not my favorite thing to do, but it was necessary. The oven was filthy - baked on grime covering it from top to bottom. After an hour or so of spraying, waiting and washing, I declared myself content with the job. It's not perfect, but it's a vast improvement. 


So, on that note, I'm probably depressing you so I'm going to sign off here. We'll see how the weekend goes, but my plan is to be back here on Monday morning, ready to start another week of "As My World Turns". Meanwhile, please be kind, stay safe and wear your mask.
