Just make it Monday, please

I often dread weekends... this one perhaps a bit more than usual. Today... yes/no decision on funding the Arctic field season at 11am. Then couples-counselling tonight. I wish I'd lined up lunch today, but have been too preoccupied to plan ahead. Tomorrow night... no plans. Some slightly-stressful socializing with the kids in the afternoon. Should have planned ahead, again. Sunday... Father's Day... no plans (sound familiar? heh) other than I need to confront the issues around my father's illness again and give him a call.

Why do other people look forward to weekends? For me, work is generally more satisfying and less stressful... still, three days and it will be over, thankfully.

Considering how much pent-up anger I have at Pat, after she's thrown my life into chaos over the past five weeks... she may care for me, but she has funny ways of showing it. As far as I'm concerned, she's working out her own insecurities by trying to impose controls on my behavior, so I find it hard to be... considerate when pushing back on those controls.

And who could I have asked for help, yesterday? Even those near and dear are looking at the mess here and stepping back...
