Trying to get ready for the holidays. I've been listening to Christmas music on my longer walks with Bailey, watching Christmas Hallmark Channel movies and writing up Christmas gift lists. I am still inclined to just not do any of it this year but - I know if I skip one year, I will skip them all. And that would make me sad on my death bed. So... Andrea has said she will help decorate the house and George has said he will come by and put up the house lights. I am just going to have to make it a team effort this year.
Shawn's drinking has gotten the better of him - he drinks every day, he drinks a lot every day and he is oblivious as to how much he drinks. He is now 'sneaking' drinks by leaving his glass on the kitchen counter and sipping from there, hoping I don't notice the glass behind me. And by 'going to the bathroom' at restaurants and the casino and slamming a drink at the bar before returning. He has lost control - yesterday he had five drinks that I am aware of (and probably a drink before hitting the highway after work and enough time to slam a drink at the casino bar before I found him) which would be seven drinks - in four hours. I think that's a problem but he doesn't. I know that's a problem. And now I have a problem - how do I deal with it? Stick around for life, wait till retirement then go our separate ways or call it a day now? I don't know.
