My life, for what it's worth, part 2

It's been a tiring couple of weeks.  One partner is deliberately trying to keep her stress down by sitting in her office, working on not much, not answering the phones.  The other partner is highly annoyed about this and is having trouble concealing her irritation.  There's been enough snow that I had to work from home a couple of days.  One of the days, Boeing closed so Joe didn't have to work, and amused himself sitting and talking to me while I tried to work. But.  I am so so lucky. A woman I went to grade school with has that horrible breast cancer gene in her family.  Her mom died of it, and several of her sisters have suffered from it.  Now her daughter has it.  Her 35 year old daughter, who is the mother of two little girls and is also pregnant.  Oh my god, I can't even imagine.  Daughter has decided to postpone chemo until the baby is born.  I can't imagine having to make that choice, and I can't imagine having my daught...

He drives me crazy a lot of the time.  Tonight I made a healthy dinner that is exactly in line with what he should be eating (and was delicious too).  He didn't want to eat it.  And then he put what he didn't eat in the oven, to keep it away from the stupid cat who won't stay off the counter.  He'll forget to put it in the fridge.  I lost 3/4 of a beautiful ham when he did that at Christmas.  I guess I need to add checking the oven to my before bed routine. He's finishing up the really long vacation he gets every year at this time.  They don't get days like Presidents Day off, but they get Christmas Eve to New Years day every year.  This year he took a couple extra days at the beginning and the end, so he's been home for 13 days, with three more to go.  I call this "too damn much family togetherness."  I emptied the dishwasher last night.  If he was working, it wouldn't get full again for three or four days, but it's full tonight....
