DW is back from her week at the office and boding with our
Texas home.
I missed her.
We had an interesting discussion when we stopped for dinner on our way home from the airport. last evening.
She continues to struggle with taking action to leave the firm she is with. Things got a bit tense as we discussed that over dinner last night.
I have to just have her back. Whatever she decides. Unfortunately how I really feel about it plays all over my face, regardless of my words and even actions of support.

I don't do no DW time well these days.
I think I am finally getting to the edge of old. Though my kid claims I have been old for decades now.
Shhhhhh! I will never admit this in public. I still feel 18 each AM until I get out of bed and some spots ache a bit. Then I look in the mirror and my delusion ends in hurry. The white whiskers and Rags clan wattle that is increasingly evident under my jaw are my clues to no longer be a spry young lad.

Irrational dislike.
DW is on a call with my POSSIL, her sister, the crook. POSSIL and her DH are going to France in a few weeks on a business trip.
POSSIL recently got a job as a teacher's aid.
Of course she leaves off the "aid" part of her job title when she is talking about it.
So, she wil be lying her ass off to her DH's bosses and their wives at the dinners and banquets in France.
Meh...

Crook SIL ..... all sweet and engaging with my DW.
When she has been embarrassed my SIL crawls into her hole under her rock. Sometimes for many months or even a year or more.
She is out again. This time is different.
The employee owned company her DH has worked at for 20+ years was bought out and he received a multiple 6 figure windfall for his tenure. He is a hard worker and a trusted resource at work. She is a crook.

Foot, mouth, insert.
DW has worked 820 hours in 10 weeks. She is fried.
815hrs of O/T so far this year.
I am getting to the end of my patience with her continuing to kill herself for this firm.
She will not do anything to make a move.
Tonight she was venting about a client that chewed her ass for a half an hour over being informed that his failure to provide complete information meant that his tax return is not going out by the deadline. She kept trying to reason with him.

O/T - Did my weigh in appt yesterday AM. Down 35Lbs in 3.5mos.
I should be under the 240#s by EOM Oct. I started at 277#s mid month June. The last time we did this medically supervised program (2017-2018) I started at 308 and got down to 240. This time, i am not getting off of the program. The hidden carbs in low carb prepared foods are killers for me. So, meat, fish, poultry, leafy green veg, zucc, broch, cauliflower, peppers and radishes will be it.
The goal is 200#s or less by my mid Feb 2023 59th birthday and 185#s and fit by my 60th in '24.
The fit part has not yet started.
A new niece or nephew on the way.
BIL2 told my DW that they are pregnant with "their" second child.
I truly hope this one is actually his. Another cheat baby from his wife would gut him. The cheat baby epiphany with the first one just about killed him.
smh
Everyone knows but everyone is all forgiving of her 6yr affair the whole time she and BIL2 dated and have been married up until our niece was about 3. That was when BIL2 caught her and figured out that his daughter isn't his.
Our niece just started Kindergarten.

Off Topic awesomeness. Imposter Syndrome in "my baby girl".
Our niece (my brother's eldest of 3) was in town for a conference. We saw her on Friday evening and she stayed with us Friday night.
28yo, beautiful (yes I am biased but I am not just saying that), successful, an amazing person, in a strong marriage (17mos and counting) to a true counterpart for her, and she has an incredible heart.
"My poor kid did not even have a Playstation when he was
was on a week of COVID quarantine."
Are you F'in kidding me?
My DW's HS BFF called today to talk about planning a Europe trip to visit her USAF son.
During that conversation she was all upset that the USAF did not bring her kid a Playstation while he was on COVID quarantine. Sure, he had just arrived at his Europe duty station. They brought him food, etc... But he was all crying over not having a Playstation and his mommy was all mad that her baby was left without video games.
My jaw hit the floor.
Really?
Mostly OT... but not entirely.
So, our son (SS-30) is now back in the US. This is the first time we have all lived on the same continent since mid year 2011. It is calming for his mom and I to have him a relatively short flight away where we can fit in some periodic long weekends together.
