You know, damn it, I am angry with everyone. My wife has wanted plantation shutter blinds for a long time. Our dining room gets too hot in the late afternoon so it is an uncomfortable place to eat supper. We have wanted to replace the drapes for something better insulated for some time.
The plantation shutter blind man could make the blinds operate on motors with a timer that would open the blinds automatically in the morning, and close them before the late afternoon sun while we were at work. The house would be cooler when we got home. It is small thing, not important in the scheme of the current family problems, but now does not seem like a good time to spend $2,700 on motorized blinds when I could be picking up the cost of my nephews college education this fall. At least we can buy the blinds that could be converted to motorized later.
So, let's see what the price is I have paid today
just today because my sisters twenty year old wants to suck some....... make love differently than most of us.
Sunday, only day off with my wife, ruined by argument.
Check. Smoking and drinking alcohol after quitting years ago.
Check. Blood pressure going up due to people who can not solve their own problems.
Check. Solving family problems,
that are not mine, on my day off.
Check. Falling into the role of "head of the family" after my father because my brother has now weaseled out of it.
Check. Selecting new blinds, an experience my wife had been looking forward to together, dampened.
Check. A small, fun, motorized practical gimmick out of the picture because I can not afford it due to family members will not act like adults.
Check. Not enjoying my internet experience at USMB because of other people and their problems.
Check.
Martini's and Marlboros are
not part of the solution, here.
